Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 11-Inch Skillet, Cafe Brown Review
So I got this skillet a few months ago and was a bit dissapointed with the fact that everything I cooked in it will stick like crazy even when adding oil or butter. Eggs were a mess and pancakes I can't even start saying; so I decided to use it for deep frying and see if it was good at least for that! Well after I fried some "empanadas" and discarded the canola oil that I used I saw that the skillet had developed that "patina" they talk about and that I was wanting so bad; so I just cleaned it with a stiff brush and water; no soap, as recommended. Well, next day I used the skillet to make pancakes and eggs and I achieved the results that I was expecting when I first bought this pan. The surface is now completely non-stick and I have made pancakes and eggs several times after that, I always add a bit of butter and let heat just a bit. I always clean it with a brush and no soap, dry with paper towel and put away until next time. Most of my enameled cast iron is Le Creuset which I love but you don't need to spend that much for the skillet, this Lodge will perfom the same if not better. Oh and by the way I did my research and there is no lead or harmful chemicals in this line even though it is made in China. I'm now going to order the grill pan and panini press from this same line. Thank you Logde and thank you Amazon for the amazing price!

Great Basic Pan - angelluv -
Cooking with a basic cast iron skillet is wonderful. Fun to have the pretty blue enamel, and you can't beat the functionality of cast iron for cooking everything from soup to nuts! Yes, I've toasted pumpkin seeds but haven't made soup in it - yet!
Cast-Iron Skillet - Di -
I made this purchase because I love cooking with cast-iron and need one with the enanel coating on the outside because I recently purchased a glass top stove. However like some of the other viewer's I agree about the inside coating. I thought the inside was just going to be the regular cast iron. I didn't realize that it had a coating on it. It works pretty good and things don't stick to much so overall I am pleased. But would rather it just be left with no coating or the enamel coating like the dutch oven has.
