Review: Great pan, especially for the price - I recently pulled out and started using my grandmother's old cast iron skillets. I had forgotten just how good cast iron is and decided to start replacing my hard anodized aluminum with cast iron for most of my everyday cooking. A lot of my cooking consists of tomato based sauces and regular cast iron can't be used with the high acidity of tomatoes so I decided to look to enameled cast iron. I first looked to that famous French manufacturer but the sticker shock quickly made me look elsewhere. I decided on the Lodge for price and their reputation for quality. My only real complaint with it is the same complaint that I have with all of Lodge's cast iron cookware,more of a personal preference than an actual flaw in the pan itself. The cooking surface of the pan is rough, about the texture of a good Teflon pan, when it really should be smooth. Because of this foods will have a slight tendency to stick unless you float them in a good oil (being from the South I use good ol' lard). Being enameled there is no "seasoning" and you can't really use metal utensils like normal cast iron because the enamel will scratch. A good quality wood or silicone works great but stay away from any plastic because the cast iron will get hot enough to melt them. This fantastic pan exhibits all of the quality you expect from cast iron. Slow even heating, holding the heat consistently for a long time giving you great even cooking of food. Clean up is a bit tricky because of the rough cooking surface. It will tend to get a bit of a cloudy film and lose that beautiful black sheen that it has straight out of the box. Hot water, a good plastic scrubber and a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami will take care of the film easily. Good old table salt works almost as well. While cleaning takes a little extra work (just like any cast iron cookware) the results are well worth the extra effort.
Review: Enamel Cast Iron-great for glasstop stove - i am really pleased, overall with my purchase. well worth it. i originally wanted a le creuset, but it didnt seem cost effective. this cast iron skillet is wonderful and a great price. the only warning is that if you are using it for some time, the handle does get hot, so be aware of that! also, sometimes it doesnt seem to clean up completely, but when i use it again and wash, it comes out clean. so no staining or anything has been noticeable yet. i let it soak for a little while but because its cast iron, it should be washed soon and dried immediately. however, i have left it in the sink with water in it over night and it didn't show any signs of rusting, probably because of the coating on the surface. it isnt nonstick, so i use olive and canola oils generously, but i dont have to worry about chemicals like that from nonstick cookware, getting into my food. if they made a larger one, i would purchase that one too. i bought a splatter screen for when i am cooking bacon and such as it has no cover. oh,and i do have a glasstop stove. no problems, but definately be careful when placing it on the stove, its a heavy skillet. i use both handles. the second one was a great idea from whoever designed it. if you purchase a different brand make sure it has a handle on both sides. you will be thankful in the end! hope this helps everyone...and the blue color is really pretty. update (4-16-09): it is not nonstick and after using for a year it still is not nonstick (as cast iron usually becomes after use) so i use it mainly for cooking bacon and browning meat. not the best for cooking eggs. also, over time the finish has worn a little and the outside enamel has chipped but overall it still looks and cleans up well. i do wish it did not have the enamel coating on the inside though because then it would have seasoned and become more nonstick. however, the inside hasnt gotten chipped or scratched and i have occasionally used metal utensils with it. the center does have surface distortion though, not sure why.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the inside surface like?**
A: It is a matte enamal finish that has a slight texture to it...http://www.lodgemfg.com/enameled-cast-iron/color-enamel-skillet-EC11S33 see their page on it.  I like this skillet for meat and stew type dishes, perfect for acidic dishes that are not good on the regular cast iron surface.  But it is not good for items that stick like cheese.  I do like it for the purpose I use it for but prefer my regular cast iron on a regular basis.

**Q: any one know of a cast iron or glass or even steel lid that fits on this skillet?**
A: I have the Lodge Dutch Oven and I use the lid from this which fits the skillet. I would assume that you might be able to pick up a lid from Bed, Bath and Beyond because they sell individual lids.

**Q: What size dutch oven lid will fit the 11 inch cast iron enameled skillet and be safe to use?**
A: I have a 11" enameled skillet and the lid from my 6qt enameled Dutch Oven fits it nicely

**Q: Will it work on a glass topped electric stove?**
A: I have an induction stove with a glass top and it works fine.  I bought it specifically for my glass top since a regular cast iron pan is a bit rough on the bottom this is smooth and will not scratch my stove top.  However, it is heavy I always use care setting it down on the stove I think it is heavy enough that if dropped it has a possibility to break the glass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent cast iron skillet
*by R***A on July 21, 2013*

After months of research into healthy cooking, the bottom line was my mom & grandpa's cast iron skillets. The Lodge people delivered on their promise of a fairly easy to clean cast iron skillet (bless the person who suggested saving junk mail credit cards as the best scrapers, it works!) at a fair price. The 'low' burner method that cast iron requires does take some getting used to, but the extra time you get while not hovering over cooking burgers or chicken makes getting the rest of dinner together less of a rat race. This gives us more time to get caught up with each other's day in the room where all the yummy smells are coming from. After the first few times my husband tried his usual 'high heat' method of cooking his burgers (and the resulting black layer in the bottom of my nice new skillet requiring the impressive combo of junk mail credit card scraper & elbow grease), I made scrambled eggs on low heat with had almost nothing left on the bottom of the pan. Point proved to his satisfaction. Cleanup is fairly easy, soap & water & scraper, rinse well, put back on stove top under High Heat for about 20 seconds to completely dry it and avoid any rust. I do the 1-mississippi, 2-mississippi count out loud so I don't absentmindedly walk off before turning the stove off. Then a light 2 second spray with the coconut oil (or olive oil but coconut has a much higher smoking temp for cooking) and finish up with a paper towel scrunched up (to protect your fingers from the heat) to spread the slight oil film all around the inside and top rim for the next use. Easy Peasy. The only down side to this wonderful skillet is that it is a bit heavy, but then I could use the few minutes of slight weight training according to my doctor ^.^ The smaller (lighter) size would probably be perfect for a single person cooking.
