I’m making blackberry cobbler tonight and the recipe says:
"In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water. Mix in remaining 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and blackberries. Transfer to a cast iron skillet, and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Drop dough into the skillet by spoonfuls. Place skillet on the foil lined baking sheet…"
But I don’t have a cast iron skillet………what should I use instead?

I use a casserole dish [glass or metal]. You can use anything really, except remember to make the cobbler a little lower than the diss’s edge, I didn’t one time and it looked gimpy! LOL

You could fix the stove top part in a skillet you have and before dropping the dough in, transfer the blackberries to a oven proof dish.
Add your dough and then put it in the oven. They suggest an iron skillet just to keep from using two different cooking pans.

Use any same size baking dish you have. But if in the future you can afford to buy a cast iron skillet, 12 inch or larger, You never tasted cornbread better. And anything cooked in cast iron does better. And tastes better.

I have made cobbler in metal and glass also the original way in cast iron. Everytime I’ve made it I bake it in whatever pan is available. I don’t see where you should have a problem baking it in what you have on hand maybe the cooking time will change though. I hope that I have been some help to you in this matter.

you can use glass but if you do be sure to lower the oven temp by 25 degrees

Any skillet will do for now, however, as one has to bake the entire thing in one’s oven, if the handle on your present skillet is not oven-proof, you can’t make a cobbler in it. Use a deep-dish pie pan or a 3-inch or four-inch deep cake pan instead. Cast iron skillets are not expensive. You might give cast iron cooking a try. By the way, your recipe for cobbler is just plain weird! No baking sheet is necessary. You don’t fill the pan so full that it overflows…
