I was given my Papa's electric skillet after he passed. It's one of my prized possessions! He'd be 103 now. He cooked everything from pancakes to fried fish to pork chops in it. I use it all the time. I love it. It's a fun mustard yellow, too. Everyone always comments on it and asks where to get one. I tell people I'm not really sure, it's older than me. 😂💓🥰

My mom had an electric skillet. She cooked pretty much everything in it, I think it was before she ever got a slow cooker. All of these look wonderful! I only cook for myself and I just can't do days and days of the same leftovers so I think I'm going to convert these into individual freezer meals. ❤

@arizonaskies6607 Жыл бұрын

We do that too. I put extra leftovers in the freezer in inexpensive Ziplock containers, and it sure is handy to pull a few out when we're busy or don't feel like cooking. I got some removable labels to use so I can keep track of what's been put away and the date.
