    Well, I do have an eleven inch cast iron skillet, but not just for power outages. For those, I use a generator. Cast iron is wonderful cookware if properly seasoned. I use mine on both an induction hot plate and on the stovetop. It's really easy to care for. Usually just heating it and deglazing it with water will clean it for the next use.

  • I have two cast iron skillets that I've had for 20 years. I have a gas stove so I can always manually light if need be in addition to my outdoor grill.

    Why would a person need a cast iron skillet to cook outdoors? Any kind of skillet could be used. Yes, I have one. I also have some stainless steel ones which work perfectly well on a camp stove, a wood stove, or an open fire, or anything else you can cook on.

    I have three cast iron skillets, a 12" cast iron square griddle, and cast iron dutch oven.   For cooking inside the stove uses natural gas.  Outside I have a barbecue grill with three 40# propane bottles, one in use, two backups.

    If power goes out, I have a 3KW generator.  Screw cooking, if the power goes out I would lose the Internet -- which is NOT going to happen.

    I have a gas stove, for cooking if the power goes out. (Usually natural gas continues, although the electric spark won't light the burners. I've got matches.)

    I also have a cast iron skillet.
