What size pan is your favorite for cast iron?

[Jules]

I am getting ready to order some extra pans of cast iron. I have a 12 inch, but am looking to go larger and smaller than that. Do you have a favorite size?

Just curious.

Also...what do you use for a saucepan? I didn't see any Lodge cast iron ones, but am curious that if you use the cast iron skillets what do you use for saucepans?

I have the 12" Lodge and it does most any job around here. In addition to that I have what was called a "chicken fryer" cast iron from Wagner. I also have a 4 quart dutch oven which looks a lot like Le Creuset but is really an imposter with no name, however works great.

 

None of my saucepans are cast iron. They are a motley assortment of whatever was at the store when I needed a saucepan.

All Clad is supposed to be top of the line if you are prepared to spend $$$$.
