Wild Card Night
Larry sits down for a friendly poker game and discovers the table is packed with bears, chimps, and one sharp-dressed mouse. With sausage on the felt and four kings in play, this is no ordinary game night.
Quick answer
What is the best pan for sausage and peppers?
A 12-inch cast-iron skillet is the classic pick: it holds heat, browns sausage deeply and goes from stove to oven. Stainless steel browns just as well and deglazes easily. Nonstick is easiest to clean but browns less. For crowds, use rimmed sheet pans; for saucy versions, a Dutch oven.
