Skillet, Cast Iron

/SKIL-it, kast I-run/  n.
  1. 1. A culinary vessel of formidable heft and enduring thermal capabilities, noted for its ability to retain and evenly distribute heat across its ample surface area.
  2. 2. colloq. What you'd get if a heavyweight champion decided to moonlight as cookware. Refuses to be moved without negotiation.
In a sentence,

"The blueberry pancake emerged from the thiccc cast iron skillet with an aura of inevitability. Brunch was just the beginning."

Etymology,

From Old Norse 'skelet' meaning 'dish' and the Germanic 'eisen' for 'iron'. The material's durability could also explain why it's been around longer than most family recipes.
