"Be sure to allow dish (and skillet!) to cool from hot to warm before serving. You can always wrap the handle in a tea towel, just to be safe. My skillet is 8-inches diameter on the bottom, 10-inches across the top. Perfect for game day or family get-togethers, this dish is warm, creamy and cheesy. Adapt it by using any baked dip in the center. Do watch the hot skillet and wrap the handle, if necessary...."
