Anolon Advanced Bronze 11-Inch, 5-Quart Covered Sauteuse with Glass Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We love this pot! It turns out we use it far more often than we expected, because it holds a lot, has straight sides so a good flat area on the bottom, and yet isn't too big or too heavy to be a good everyday choice. Not to mention it is quite good looking. The lid is heavy and fits well, the handles are sturdy, and the base is nice and thick.

The one thing I would say is, silicone coated handles are a really nice feature and this pot doesn't have them. But, that being said, we still love the pot.

Iron Chef 12 Inch Stir Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this pan for almost 2 years, and I really love it. I didn't like it at first - my first few attempts at cooking in it stuck badly, and then it rusted once when I didn't oil it right after washing it. These issues go away when the pan gets seasoned from use. Now that my pan is seasoned, it is great, and I'm so glad I continued using it rather than throwing it away! The reason this doesn't get 5 stars is that the handle could be better. Mine hasn't broken, but there is a little play between the plastic and the metal which makes it feel less than sturdy.

Iron Chef 14-Inch Wok Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this wok despite the reviews. There was a blemish in the interior wok, that appeared like a crack but didn't go all the way through. I imagine that there was not enough metal in the mold when it was cast and then most of that flaw was ground out as a normal step in finishing the wok. I can see how such a blemish, if more severe could result in a crack. I am hoping that the blemish will not get worse with use. I have heard that some of these new light weight cast iron woks can crack if cold water is added to a hot wok in cleaning. It certainly seems stronger than the tradition thin round bottomed cast iron wok I own.

ExcelSteel 12 Inch super lightweight cast iron frypan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very happy with this pan. It's practically non-stick if treated properly. It cooks evenly, heats quickly and is large enough for stir fry. I highly recommend this especially for the price. It's also very light for a cast iron pan. The handle is also great as it's the only cast iron I have that where the handle doesn't get too hot to handle.

Joyce Chen 10 inch Lightweight Cast Iron Flat Bottom Chinese Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After watching non-stick frying pans deteriorate within a year or two of use, I decided to get an old fashioned pan made of iron. When this product arrived, the surface (cooking side) was covered by rough spiral grooves from machining and I was skeptical of its quality. However, after a month of regular use, with occasional Tempura making with 1/2 inch of oil, the surface is sufficiently seasoned and I have no serious issue with food sticking to the surface (as far as stir-frying meat, vegetable, and rice or making an omelet goes). The product seems quite sturdy, too.

The only minor complaint I have with the product is a small oil leak from the rivet holes, where the handle is attached to the pan, though this might stop with further use.

Starfrit Light Cast Iron Fry Pans Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Based on the good reviews on Amazon, I picked up the 12 inch stir fry pan and I just gave it its first test run making curry.

In general this is an excellent pan, it's a good weight, meats brown and vegetables saute quickly, it cleans easily, and it is very responsive (i.e. it heats and cools quickly as you adjust the burner).So it makes a very good alternative to a stainless steel or anodized aluminum skillet or saute pan for everyday cooking.

That being said, it does not completely replace a standard cast iron skillet because it is so responsive...if anything, this pan heats and cools a wee bit too fast. Traditional cast iron heats and cools slowly because of its mass, making it very good for certain types of cooking that need the temperature to hold steady like deep searing meat, stir frying vegetables, shallow and deep frying, and braising.

I also wonder if the ceramic surface will hold up.As anyone who cooks on terra cotta or stoneware knows, ceramic in general makes a tough and easy to clean cooking surface, but Cook's Illustrated recently reviewed Starfrit's ecological cookware and said the ceramic surface began to quickly degrade.However, the base of that cookware is aluminum which has very different thermal properties than cast iron.Since ceramic and cast iron are more similar, I hope this pan does better.Only time will tell.

P.S. If anyone from Starfrit is reading this, I would love it if you made this pan in a 13 or 14 inch, 6ish quart size. The wider base and extra volume would make this more useful, especially when cooking for four or more.Even though I appreciate the lighter weight, a bit heavier of a gauge of iron would be good too and resolve the sometimes too rapid heating and cooling issue. A lid would be nice too.

UPDATE: After a few weeks of use, It's my pleasure to say these pans (I eventually bought the 11 inch skillet too) are more versatile than I originally thought.The 12 inch stays hot enough to do a very decent job at stir-frying. Sure, my Staub wok does a better job, but it must be three times the weight. The skillet sears steak like no one's business. My only issue is I wish both were a tad larger...a standard 12 inch for the skillet and 13 inch for the stir fry.

Product Description:
Our new line of light cast iron pans are made in a metal mold, not a sand mold, so we are able to reduce the gauge and offer a pan that is 50% lighter than traditional cast iron pans on the market. The light cast iron has the same features as traditional cast iron, without any of the negatives. Our cast iron has a reinforced ceramic surface that prevents rust with no PTFE, no PFOAs and no toxic fumes, even when using high heat. The light cast iron retains and transmits heat quickly and evenly for perfect browning without needing to use a maximum heat setting. The riveted stainless steel handle stays cool to the touch on stovetop, yet still allows oven use.
