I think they'd be pretty neat for cornbread! Brad <message edited by ScreamingChicken on Fri, 07/6/12 10:22 AM>

But, it has to be very labor intensive to run so many small production pans. I'll keep my eyes open for PA. Brad, when is yours being delivered? EDIT" $550 Smacks for PA? I wonder if I can just purchase N.E.PA? <message edited by joerogo on Fri, 07/6/12 2:52 PM>

If you notice most of them have only 1 available per state and it says something about the artist will contact you.

Regardless of what the artist calls it, the project is an art project, not a commercial project. She might sell a few of the Wisconsin skillets at $120.00, but I doubt there will be many takers for those that are north of $400.00 and if you look at the size of the ones for DE, VT, RI, etc., there's no practical use for them. What are you going to do with a skillet that's 2 in x 2 in. or 2" x 4"? On the other end of the spectrum, can you imagine trying to handle a skillet for Texas that measures 22' x 21" and weighs 30 lbs? You'd need the arms of Popeye to lift that thing. Look at the size of the handle compared to the skillet.

There's a reason why someone like Lodge hasn't undertaken something like this.
