KitchenAid 12-Inch Cast-Iron Chicken Fryer, Garnet Review

I guess I should have been more careful, but I didn't realize it would be this fragile. But the first time I used it, and cleaned it up, it had chips (chunks chipped out) on the ridges in the bottom of the pan. Otherwise it appears to work well. I guess time will tell if it was worth the amount of money spent on it.

I bought this pan just for doing scrambled eggs. I like the enameled coating. Doing the eggs in a regular cast iron pan just wasn't as good.

Cajun Cookware Enamel Coated Cast Iron 12 Inch Skillet Review

The skillet looks beautiful, and it was well received as a Christmas present.Unfortunately, the first time it was used a blister formed on the bottom of the pan and a large chunk of the enamel coating just fell off the skillet.It honestly is probably still usable as an oven roaster, but I do not feel comfortable using the skillet on the stove top which is the whole point of cast iron.

Lodge Enamel Coated Cast-Iron Skillet, Red Review

Lodge Enamel Coated Cast-Iron Skillet, Red

This handy little skillet is actually a HEAVY WEIGHT! It has the durability of cast iron, and the convenience of non-stick coating. I hesitated when ordering because I have had teflon skillets that would flake after a while, but this is not like the non-stick of old. It has a 25-year limited warantee!

Since I have an electric stove, it took some time to learn how to adust the stove because it retains the heat so well. I finally started turning the stove off the last 10 minutes or so. That works great for me. Also, if I'm cooking a steak, I sear it good on one side, turn it, and finish cooking in the oven at 450* for another 10 minutes. That's another thing I like...the fact that the skillet can go right from the stovetop to the oven. Careful, because the handle does get very hot, and also the skillet is HEAVY because it's cast iron, but it's a good heavy!

I was so excited to get this since it was so affordable, I thought!But you get what you pay for!This smelled like enamel, so I don't know what type they use.It didn't smell completely safe, though!It looks like only one layer of enamel and you can see the metal through it with imperfections in the iron peaking though.The edges are rough and uneven.I bought one 11" Lodge enamel pan for about the same price as this and it was worth that and more!The Lodge has excellent quality!

Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 11-Inch Skillet Review

Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 11 inch Skillet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this pan for several months now and had previously been used to frying with regular cast iron or stainless steel. I have a flat top stove and am not supposed to use my cast iron on it so I thought I would try this one instead. I've found that the interior is better than stainless steel for cooking certain things (like over-easy eggs) with a simple clean-up and minimal sticking. It's also good for reheating left-over meals, or making pancakes.

However, when I tried cooking things like sausage, or stir-fry meat, or with any sauces that contained sugar, I ended up with charred bits that would not come off. I tried boiling the pan with vinegar, or scouring gently with baking soda and nothing works. I did of course follow the directions and have never cooked on any setting above medium (usually, I use medium low). Then I made the mistake of frying falafel in the pan. I now have a permanent layer of caramelized oil on the bottom of my pan. Add the two chips on the handle that came off within the first week of use (and I am extremely gentle with this pan), and I would have to say I am fairly disappointed.

I also own the Lodge Enamel 6 quart dutch oven, and that item is fabulous. Not a chip or stain on it, even though I use it extensively. Also, I have fried up some of the same things in the dutch oven as the fry pan - with no sticking/stains in the dutch oven, but with permanently charred bits in the fry pan. Lodge should have made this one with the glossy interior.

Perhaps I'll replace this one with the 3 quart covered casserole since it has the glossy interior.
