Minnesota Made Pretzel M&M Skillet Cookie

What do you get the person who has everything? This year, I got my husband a cast iron pan in the shape of his home-state for his birthday. The American Skillet Company, based in Wisconsin, currently produces skillets in the shapes of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. The cast iron pans are well made, beautiful, and a unique addition to any kitchen. These are the more affordable versions of the original limited edition, made to scale, skillets of the 48 contiguous states. If you have a several hundred (or thousands if you are from a large state), the originals are a true work of art. But if you're lucky enough to be from the upper mid-west, you can purchase these smaller, mass-made pans that look good on the wall, and on the stove.
