I am submitting my own show for Aug tonight, I only qualify for the 1st tier, and I just needed to get a few items in for friends and thought this would be the best way to go.
I am really thinking about the 12" exec. It seems that this is big this season with the new recipes along with the DCB which I already have. Does anyone else have thoughts on what a better purchase might be?
Thanks

Looking at recipes in most of our books- they use the DCB or the 12" skillet the most. I'd go for the skillet.
