Skillet Cake-Ss Skillet or Hard Anodized 12" Used?

[tabbycat52]

Hi, I was wondering which 12" skillet, stainless steel or the hard anodized, is the one is considered the "family skillet. I like the idea of the skillet cakes but all the recipes just say "family skillet". Can someone clarify that for me, please? Does it matter? I guess you can melt butter in either one to "grease" it up for baking. Thanks for any help. Mary

Non-stick is usually the one to use for the cakes.

Thanks for the clarification. Guess that makes sense!

Before the Executive line was the only nonstick, and before Stainless, there was the Professional line, and the 12" was called the Family skillet.
I wish they would update the cookbooks to reflect current products (I know, too much to actually do). Or at least update the online recipes. I end up rewriting the recipes to print and distribute to my guests.

Either (from current line) 12" skillet can be used for the skillet cakes. When the stainless was first brought out, it was actually the one demo'd with the skillet cake.
