What Would You Do With this Griswold?

Recipes for a Griswold double skillet? Help me make the most of this heavy duty piece of cookware.

Mr. Leezie's grandmother graciously sold us her old Griswold double skillet and I am very excited to put it to good use. What would be the ideal things to cook in this? I really have no clue, so any direction would be great. No restrictions on type of food, etc. Any and all suggestions welcome!

The canonical thing to make in these double skillets is fried chicken -- see here for a classic recipe. Put the chicken/oil in the deep skillet and use the shallow skillet as the lid.

Other than that, it's basically a dutch oven, so any dutch oven recipes will work. I'd start with jalapeno cornbread for sure.

Not sure about the double aspect, but for a while the only thing we cooked in our cast iron skillet was tiny new potatoes in duck fat.
