Most valuable, most versatile, most comfortable. This best describes the Nest Homeware 9" cast iron skillet with lid. This skillet with 9 inch lid is a perfect foundation to build your cast iron collection around. Nest cookware has actually been designed with ergonomics in mind, and it shows. The handle on this 9in Skillet has been called the most comfortable available on a cast iron skillet, meticulously sculpted to fit both left and right hands of every size. More length makes for better balance, and also keeps things cooler for longer. The interiors of cast iron cookware from Nest Homeware are machined smooth, which makes for an incredible cooking experience. Each handle captures the gesture of a branch from a cherry tree, abstracted into a form that's pleasing to the eyes and the hands. The self-basting nubs on the underside of the 9" lid deliver moisture back into the dish you are cooking, keeping it nice and juicy. The top handle is a thoughtfully designed brass abstraction of a cherry branch, adding an element of beauty.
