For the past few days I have been searching for a Griswold cast iron skillet because I've heard they're the best. My searches led to me to certain skillets that have heat rings and others that do not. I have found a great #8 skillet that does not have a heat ring and I really want it. I'm not sure what the purpose of heat rings are but my guess would be to even distribute heat throughout the skillet? It also seems pans with heatrings are in much more demand.
Would a cast iron without a heat ring perform and heat up just as well as one with a heat ring? I'm really trying to own a skillet that is exceptional in cooking and exceptional all around. Should I wait for a skillet to come around with a heat ring?
