Overnight Rosemary Focaccia– This is a great recipe and can just be adapted to using a skillet instead. A10 to 12 inch pan would be best depending how thick you want your bread.
Place butter or frozen meats on or in between cast iron to soften/thaw much quicker
Pillsbury orange roll, one roll in middle, unroll rest of rolls and place end to end to spiral outwards. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-14 minutes until baked in middle. Cover with icing.
Herbed pork chops
Brussels Sprouts– this is the technique that I use. Even though their picture shows whole sprouts, they cut them in half. How you season them is up to you. My family likes them basic with salt and freshly grated Parm cheese.
Fried rice
Potatoes, ham, and broccoli in Alfredo sauce
Burgers with pastrami and swiss
Cabbage, potatoes, and sausage

Brisket, reheating this way to retain moisture vs microwaving
Cornbread and corn sticks- The key to cornbread is to preheat the pan for 5 minutes, spray with oil and heat another minute or two. Pour in your favorite batter and bake.

Pillsbury orange roll and fried eggs. The key to fried eggs is to heat the pan on medium heat until it feels very warm when you place your hand over the middle. Add a 1/2 – 1 TB of butter; melt and then add the eggs.
