Emerilware Cast Iron 12 Inch Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If hadn't looked any further than the reviews here, I wouldn't have purchased this pan, but the reviewers seemed a little 'green' when it comes to cast iron and so I looked around some and ended up buying it. I have to say I am very satisfied.

First of all, I have never seen a 'pre-seasoned' piece of cast iron that was actually meant to be cooked in straight away. The instructions that come with this pan (for those who bothered to read them) recommend further seasoning anyway.

And yes, it does need further seasoning and careful integration into your cooking setup. Cast iron rewards patience, and this pan is a great big piece of iron, heavier and thicker than the Lodge equivalent and made to last for generations. It also is a bit rough textured for a cast iron pan and you will find that it takes longer to build up a nice slick surface, but it's far from impossible as has been suggested. Only the years will tell, but my guess is that it will hold on to its seasoning particularly well once it's fully established.

For the record, this is the method I use to season my cast iron:
-Rub a thin layer of lard or vegetable shortening on the pan, inside and out
-Put the pan in 300 degree oven for 15 minutes, pull it out and pour off any fat that's pooled in the bottom
-Put it back in for a couple hours
-Turn off the oven and let it cool in there
-Repeat this process a few times afterward, but in a 450 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour
-If the pan is sticky when you're done with a seasoning, you didn't cook it long enough
