Tarte Tatin

[pam]

I just picked up a recipe for tarte tatin from the Saveur site. Looks delicious, but what is caster sugar and what should I bake in (11 inches and round)?

Pam, I use a regular cast-iron skillet.. A cake pan would also work, but the heavier the better.

According to Nigella it's super fine sugar. here's her site with other conversions.

Agree with cast iron, but I've made this many times in regular skillets and straight-sided saute

pans as well, with no problem.

I think all the recipes I've used over the years use regular granulated sugar. Not sure why superfine is called for in this recipe.
