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

Average Reviews:

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.

Olvida 13 Inch Nickel Plated Cast Iron Skillet Review

Olvida 13 Inch Nickel Plated Cast Iron Skillet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cooks Illustrated reviewed this product favorably and was the catalyst for my purchase.To have something with all the benefits of cast iron and the benefits of stainless steel was worth the extra expense.

It's pretty disappointing that these expecations were never met.

The skillet arrived with a "hole" in the cooking surface about the size of a pinhead.I was very concerned about this and tried to contact Olvida directly about it.Turns out Olvida is just a marketing label and this product is turned out by a small plating foundry in the Eastern United States. After expressing my concern about the hole, I was told not to worry about it as the nickel plating was 100% covered and was safe to use.

Still not convinced, I cooked up a pair of cheap pieces of meat just to put it through a single use cycle.Olive oil, pork, spices - it cooked evently but was an absolute pain to clean.The finish was marred, discolored and showed very uneven heating discoloration.I followed the directions for cleaning and then put it in the dishwasher once it cooled.

When I pulled it out, that single pin hole I was concerned about showed it's true colors.Rust. The assurances that I was given that the product was safe and as described were false.

Save your money, get a regular cast iron or a ceramic cast iron and put the elbow grease into maintaining it.It'll be worth it in the long run.
Do not purchase this product.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Chicken Fryers Review

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Chicken Fryers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one sturdy pan--be ready for a bit of heavy lifting if you're going from stove to oven, because it takes two hands. I knew I wanted a cast iron skillet for frying and other things, and knew I wanted it to be a heavyweight (because that's how good cast iron skillets should be), and decided on this one because I liked the looks and the pouring lip, and Cuisinart tends to be reliable. It has a sorta high price tag, but from what my grandmother told me, a good cast-iron skillet will last forever, so I dove in. And so far, it's been more than worth it. Not just for chicken frying, though the straight tall sides make it great for frying (I've tried a couple things, chicken, hushpuppies, and zucchini and all have come out nice an hot and crisp), but also for making things from browning a ton of onions, to simmering a sauce, to making a big curry for about 10 people. It's just a workhorse of a pan, and the ability to drop it in the oven (using both hands, don't forget) to finish off a dish is very helpful. Oh, and it does look great (I have red) on the stove, too, which is a bonus. Overall, I'd suggest this pan to anyone, whether they want to use it to fry chicken or not. It's an investment that you'll be using for many years.

Enamel Cast Iron Skillet - 8 Inch Review

I was very happy to have found this skillet. Not only is it really pretty, but it cooks like a dream. I love to cook with cast iron, but after using the 12 inch enamel coated cast iron skillet that I got with this one, it will be hard to ever go back to plain cast iron. It was easy to clean, the food did not stick at all and no seasoning required.I'm ordering a stew pot and casserole dish that is enamel coated cast iron. I will still keep the cast iron I have now, but these will be the everyday cookware from here on out.

The seller's also had great customer serive. They sent email confirmations, order status and updates, and tracking numbers when they shipped and the skillets came quickly with Fed Ex. Very reliable seller.

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.

This is a wonderful skillet. It is nice a heavy which helps it to heat evenly. The handle is long so it doesn't heat up too much when cooking. Even with the pan on the stove a couple of hours the handle was only warm to touch. The small side handle does heat up quickly so be careful. The design is functional with the little spout on the side to pour off liquid and the swirl pattern gives what might be considered a "rustic" pan an elegant feel. Though it is preseasoned I would recommend seasoning it yourself as well. Great pan! - just be prepared for a workout, it's heavy! :-)

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.
