Stainless Steel Lovers! Help Me Make a Decision!

[MissChef]

I have a question for the SS Lovers! I have a past host who can't afford a skillet for my very last catalog show going in for Sepember and she told me to use it! I am a little low on funds too but I am struggling with my decision here because the 12 inch covered ss skillet is such a great deal! But my finances are saying "no, get the 10 inch! I do have some money in my savings I could transfer, but I keep going back and forth!!!
Help!!! Is it worth it to get the 12 inch?? I'm not much of a SS lover but.... for some of those recipes, I can see where that pan would be a benefit! Also, looking from it as a sales rep, do you take it to shows and promote it???? I'm just soo confused~!!!! So another question is can I use a 10-inch lid from the executive on my ss pan or is it best to just buck up and buy the 12 inch covered one!!! Help!! I need to make this decision today, so that I can submit this show!!
TIA! I have to go out for the morning but I will be checking in this afternoon! Any advice would help!

I would go with the 12" because you can do all the 10" recipes in the 12", but not vice versa. Plus, showing the 12" is much more of an impact and you can do skillet cakes.

Do skillet cakes work in the stainless, I figured they would stick more or I thought you'd have to use a lot of oil!
Anyone else????? There has to be more opinions :sing: than just one!
And thanks cmdtrgd, I appreciate the advice!

12" - definitely the 12"

There is a HUGE difference in 2 inches, trust me. I know I know it sounds dirty, but I AM talking about the pan!!! Definitely get the 12!!! It is worth it!

There is a skillet cake made especially for the stainless. Most of the other skillet cakes will not work in the stainless steel.

Personally, If you already have a 12" Executive Skillet, I would get the 10". This gives you more versatility in showing the different sizes at shows.

Hmmmmmm....... you bring up a good point!
Does anyone know if the 10 inch lid from the executive would work to cover the 10-inch saute pan , you know for those few dishes that need the lid!????

I don't have room for another 12" skillet. I would love to get the SS 10" saute pan.

Buy the 12 inch and get the 10 inch with pan-o-rama for freeeee! I'm a problem solver!! If you have more points then vice versa.
