    I’ve had a number of people ask why dirty two pans. Just put the skillet in the oven. That would work perfectly unless you are cooking more than a skillet will hold which I normally do. So it’s either dirty two skillets or a skillet and a baking sheet. Also, a lot of times to save time I brown them on the electric griddle that I’ve generously added oil to, then place them on a baking sheet and in the oven. This way I can do 6 – 8 at one time.

    NOTE: If using cube steak, reduce oven time to about 20 minutes.
