Everyone has one. A really ugly piece of cookware that they love too much to get rid of but it still embarrassing nonetheless. Mine is my griddle. It was originally an unassuming square of aluminum when I picked it up at a junk store six years ago. Since then it has gotten blackened and worn, with four perfectly seasoned circles where I always cook pancakes. I adore it, but when other people see me cook on it, I start to blush a bit and try to hid it from their gaze as much as possible (however, when they taste pancakes or french toast from my griddle, they chow down happily and are quite willing to ignore the pan from whence their brunch was cooked).
The Kitchn wants to see pictures of your ugliest, most embarrassing, most horrifically terrible pan. They have five really lovely Staub honeycomb frying pans to give away to the people with the worst pans and the best sob stories to go along with those miserable pans. Head over to The Kitchn for all the details so that you can enter to win a beautiful pan to replace your wretched cookware.
