HACK #1: FLAME TAMER
Tired of burning butter that you're trying to melt or scorching mashed potatoes while keeping them warm on the stovetop? Let your cast-iron skillet help you out. It makes a great flame tamer to keep things over gentle heat for a long time; simply place the skillet over a low flame, then place your pot or saucepan right in the skillet. The skillet will moderate the heat.

HACK #2: PANNINI PRESS
Here's a trick for panini without a griddle, panini press, or Dutch oven.

1. Set a large, seasoned, oiled cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; place your assembled sandwiches in the middle.

2. Place a smaller cast-iron skillet on top of the sandwich to press. Cook until the bottom of the sandwich is golden brown, then flip and repeat the process on the other side.

HACK #3: PIE PLATE
If you find yourself short a pie plate, a seasoned cast-iron skillet can be the perfect alternative for just about any pie, such as Cast-Iron Apple Pie. Just make sure your skillet is 9 or 10 inches in diameter to keep the recipe volume and baking times consistent.
