Ever since grabbing my lodge skillet it’s become my primary cooking device leaving my thousands of dollars of All-Clad in the drawer lol

just can’t compete with dat sear
As said above I usually start with olive oil then add a chunk of butter and baste to finish once I’ve seared all sides:
Really can’t beat those Costco prime rib eye packs.
Also been dabbling with bread and pizza, have attempted a couple pizzas cooked in the skillet. Turns out very tasty however I have read online of people pre-heating the skillet prior to putting the dough in to achieve a crispier base which I think I will try next time
Don’t mind my pepperoni placement lol there’s plenty more under the cheese
