When it comes to people we'd love to cut up with in the kitchen, Dolly Parton tops the list. Alas, we're not likely to ever check that particular dream off our bucket list, but this may be the next best thing: Her personalized Lodge cast-iron skillets are up to 35% off at Amazon's Big Spring Sale. The designs are a joy to behold: whimsical butterflies, wee guitars, pretty portraits and campy quotes. We wouldn't blame you if you devoted a whole kitchen wall to these treasures.
"My weaknesses have always been food and men — in that order," Parton once famously quipped. In fact, food has become a stellar side hustle for the boundary-breaking Queen of Country. Her latest cookbook, Good Lookin' Cookin', which she co-wrote with her sister, is a New York Times bestseller. Shoppers also sing the praises of her top-rated Duncan Hines baking mixes.
For real home cooking, every Southern gal knows that a good skillet is key. This line of nontoxic, preseasoned heritage cast iron goodies is made right in Tennessee, just like Dolly herself. And yes, this cookware performs, just like Dolly. Whether you're a devoted fan or just need a pan, there's a style for you on sale right now. Come and get it, folks!
Dolly's a hoot — and so is this must-hang skillet. The "Jolene, please don't take my pan" twist on her "don’t take my man" plea will never get old. Plus, it's nearly 35% off!
We know, it's hard to resist this little strummer, and at just $20 you don't have to. This petite pan is not short on uses either, according to fans.
One shopper shared, "Super cute! Small in size but perfect for an egg or fun-shaped pancake. It heats up great!" Another added: "Can be used as a spoon rest, as a collectible or for cornbread."
Our hearts are aflutter: butterflies, buttermilk pancakes and butter. This generously-sized skillet will be your go-to for Dolly-icious daily cooking.
This big beauty can handle all your cooking needs, on the stovetop, on the grill, in the oven or even while camping. At 13.5 inches, it'll cook up enough to feed the whole fam and then some, so do as Dolly would and invite the neighbors over for some country-fried fun.
The lyric comes from her inspirational 1977 hit, "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" — one of 3,000 songs Parton has written.
Your new pan won't be too hot to handle if you dress it in this pretty pink silicone holder. It protects up to 500°F, is dishwasher-safe and fits most Lodge pans (8-inch and above) with the keyhole handle.
"I bought the Dolly Jolene pan and hot pink is my favorite color," wrote a quirky, perky fan. "This fits perfectly and feels so girly in my kitchen. Really nice for taking the pan in and out of the oven."
What time is it? Time to get the kitschiest kitchen clock on the planet, perhaps? This battery-powered, 9 to 5-themed clock is decidedly not for cooking, y'all, but it gets bonus points for accurate placement of the 9 and the 5.
Talk about a boss boss gift: "I work for a very dedicated Dolly fan. ... When I saw this, I knew it was perfect!" wrote a thoughful gifter. "I knew he did not have this item already. It was great quality as all Lodge cast iron items are and beautifully designed. The pictures do not do it justice! Perfect for all Dolly fans!"
