Great Pan
My husband loves this pan. I works really well for the Dinosaur Cookbook Recipes.
Excellent. A purchase I'm glad I made
I don't cook that often nor am I the greatest cook, so it took me awhile to buy this. But boy, am I glad I did. Just got it last week and my first two meals from it have been wonderful and super easy. Love how its easy to clean. Yes, its super duper heavy and I already have issues with my wrists, but the outcome have been worth it. Thinking about buying another!
Great purchase
I like this skillet a lot and use it everyday. It's not stick at all. The taste of food is really good by using this pan. The only problem is that it is a little bit heavy.
Good value
Pros: No non-stick, easy to clean, can cook just about anything it it. It was less expensive than I could find anywhere else by about $20 and it came with free shipping. You can use to cook in kitchen and camping.
Cons: It's quite heavy (duh--it's cast iron) and I'm a pretty strong male.
I was able to reduce number of pots I used to cook due to it's size. You could probably cook chili in it -- it is large enough.
I wanted something I could use for both in the kitchen and camping. I think if I was just looking for something in the kitchen, I would have goon with stainless steel. Of course you pay a lot more for good stainless steel.
Is it okay to be obsessed with my iron skillet?
This is my very first cast iron anything, and I love it so much. I wasn't raised on cast iron, so I had to do some research to know how to care for the skillet (for the novice like me, can I recommend the book, "Cast Iron Cooking for Dummies"?). Anyway, I am obsessed with cooking with this, b/c I now know that the more I cook with it, the better it will get. I want to cook/bake everything on it. I even baked some brownies in this thing, and they were delicious! I know that until I get a good seasoning on this, that I shouldn't cook anything acidic, so I was so upset that I couldn't cook a Thai dish on it, b/c the sauce contained tomatoes. My husband told me that I was so pathetic about having to use my stainless steel skillet, that he ... Read More
