Few chefs have as much of an impact as the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten. The award-winning culinary mastermind is famous for her deconstructed simple French dishes, with a focus on spending less time in the kitchen and more on entertaining and spending time with guests — which is what the holidays are all about. We turn to Garten for her delicious-yet-simple recipes and cookware recommendations, so when we spotted her favorite cast-iron pan on sale at Amazon for Black Friday, we had to share the news ASAP.

$20$30Save $10

This pre-seasoned skillet — a No. 1 bestseller — is perfect for frying, braising, sauteing and so much more.

$20 at Amazon

The iconic Lodge skillet can be used anywhere — a stove, grill, or even a campfire. It's the ultimate multi-use tool, whether you're big on baking, cooking the perfect steak or frying up some eggs for breakfast. Plus, it comes pre-seasoned, so you don't have to fiddle with vegetable oil.

"This is THE skillet...you know, that skillet that just lives on a burner and never gets put away, because it's the first thing you use, every time you cook?" shared a shopper. "This is that skillet for me. I've had it for a year, and used it more than everything else in my kitchen put together."

It's not just the iconic skillet that's on sale, either. Lodge marked down nearly all its cast iron cookware, including plenty of pots, pans and the accessories that go with them.
