The Lodge Cast Iron Deep Skillet ($39.90) from Amazon. 

Cast iron skillets are known for giving dishes that little extra something that enhances flavor and makes everything a little crispier — plus, all in all, the maintenance isn't so bad once you get the hang of it. If you're already a fan of Lodge's affordable, high-quality cast iron, now's the time to up your cooking game with the deep version of their famous skillet — especially at $22 off the 12-inch version on Amazon. 

It comes already seasoned with oil so you can get cooking straightaway (whether you want to do another round of it yourself is up to you), and it's perfect for baking bread, deep frying, broiling, or braising. You can also sear and sauté in it as you would the regular skillet, so it's truly a pan that does it all — making it perfect if your kitchen storage happens to be on the limited side. It also works on induction cooktops, and you can absolutely bring it camping with you, too.

Grab it now while it's on sale at Amazon for less than $40.
