Tramontina Pro 3004 12 in Saute Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful and very well built nonstick frying pan.It has nice thick aluminum and a solid looking Teflon surface.But it has one serious design problem:the handle is so thick, long, and heavy that when placed on an electric burner---the large as well as small ones---the handle makes the pan tip, so that most of the bottom of the pan isn't even contacting the heating element.If you pour in an egg or batter at this point, it will flow to one side.

If you have one of those completely flat stove tops, or a gas range with a 12" wide support frame, the pan should be able to lie flat.But the handle is so long, it is hard to keep it out of the way of other burners or things on your counter top.

If this pan had a 2" shorter handle, it would be really superb.

Since the silicone handle cover over the aluminum handle is removable, if you just HAVE to have this pan---and you own a metal saw--- you could saw 2 inches off the handle, and be in bliss.Or, more practically, you could hook some counterweight to the edge opposite the handle and keep it flat on the burner that way.

Universal Housewares Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 15 Inch Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read the reviews for the Lodge brand skillets and they were mixed.It sounded as if the newer ones cracked under the heat.

So I found this one.It's great, and cheaper than the Lodge one.

I was looking for something better than a wok.Woks are useless on normal American kitchen stovetops.They are made for deep fire pits that they use in China.We need to use a flat-bottomed, cast-iron pan to get high heat for stir frying.I made some awesome Thai stir fry with this pan.

It's heavy, but that's what you need.Use a pot holder for the handle.You can get those silicone sleeves that stay on the handle.

It's pre-seasoned, so things don't stick too much.When you're done using it, don't scrub it with soap and water - that will remove the seasoning.Just rinse it, wipe it, and rub a little oil all over it.Don't leave water in it, or it will rust.

Lodge Mfg. L14SK3 Skillet With Assist Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own several Lodge cast iron products and use them everyday. I have 3 teeneage boys that enjoy cooking, and after they destroyed a few teflon coated pans, I decided I would go heavy into cast iron. These pans are indestructible. You can use them in the oven or stovetop, and if you keep it seasoned properly food will not stick. Also, to avoid sticking problems, you may want to remember to allow the pan to get hot before applying oil or food.
As to seasoning, the Logic line now comes preseasoned. But don't make a big deal about this. To season a cast iron skillet simply coat it lightly with oil and bake it for a half hour or so. I have also seasoned these skillets on the stovetop. Cast iron is also great because it does not easily scrap like stainless steel and aluminum pots. Aluminum pans are painful to me, as my teeth fillings react to the aluminum. With cast iron, you won't have this problem. I also take my Lodge pan camping and set it right over the coals to cook. No melted handles or scorched bottoms to mess with.
