There are a few key reasons why carbon steel pans are often seen as being better than cast iron pans. For one, carbon steel heats up more evenly than cast iron, so you're less likely to end up with hotspots on your pan. This also means that carbon steel is better at retaining heat, so your food will stay warmer for longer. Additionally, carbon steel is much lighter than cast iron, so it's easier to maneuver and less likely to cause accidental injury. And finally, carbon steel is less likely to rust than cast iron, so it will last longer with proper care.
Yes, a skillet can go in the oven. In fact, many recipes call for starting the dish on the stovetop and then finishing it in the oven. This is because a skillet can evenly distribute heat, making it ideal for cooking food evenly.
You can fry in a skillet. In fact, many people prefer to fry in a skillet because it provides even heat distribution and prevents sticking. When frying in a skillet, be sure to use a small amount of oil and keep the heat at a moderate temperature.
A lot of professional chefs use non stick pans because they are very convenient. Non stick pans help to prevent sticking and make cleanup much easier.

I recently upgraded my nine-piece Analon Nouvelle Copper set, which I've been using for the previous six years, to include this 8-inch skillet. I take meticulous care of this wonderful cookware to ensure its longevity. The skillet has a strong copper and stainless steel bottom plate and robust walls. It is easy to hold and has a sturdy handle. The dispersion of heat appears even. Since using a nonstick pan over high heat is bad for them all, I avoid doing so.The finish is durable, and the entire series operates admirably. Analon claims that this pan is dishwasher safe, however I prefer to hand wash every piece since I think it makes the pan last longer. However, if you decide to wash this in your dishwasher, you won't have to be concerned about it being discolored like you would with regular anodized aluminum. Naturally, nonstick cookware won't last a lifetime. That can only be anticipated from stainless steel of high quality. But compared to other nonstick cookware sets I've used in the past, I've discovered that this set has lasted me longer. Over time, the copper tarnishes, but that is to be anticipated.It takes some getting used to, but using non-stick cookware without any kind of oil is achievable. I often cook the majority of items without oil by adding a little water or stock.My advice is to avoid using cooking spray and to only hand wash with soft dishcloths and use high heat sparingly (makes it gummy) Use silicone or other non-scratch utensils, or simply a little oil or liquid if necessary.This 8-inch Analon Nouvelle Copper skillet has made me extremely delighted. I've used this range of cookware for six years and have been pleased with the results.

I didn't have any particularly high hopes when I bought this. It's far larger than any other cast iron I own, and since it's a Lodge, I knew the finish wouldn't be excellent. I've recently begun using a few vintage Griswold skillets, and the mirror shine is really amazing. Having owned past lodges, I was aware that with time and effort the finish would become more than functional, but it would never achieve the same shiny polish as the older furniture.I was pleasantly surprised by the package's weight when it finally arrived. I began by using an orbital sander and heavy-grit sandpaper to smooth up the interior surface. The finish had a very rough texture. But after perhaps 10 or 15 minutes of minimal exertion, it had significantly improved. I seasoned it with lard after cleaning it with some light dish soap and water. I may have used three or four coats, and then I let it dry overnight.With the final product, I'm quite pleased. I now use this skillet almost exclusively for everything. Its size is modest, yet it has a lot of useful versatility. I am able to make multiple dishes or larger ones all at once. It has served as a baking sheet, a skillet, and an upper warmer. On my glass-top stove, a campfire, my outdoor stove, and my BBQ grill, I've used it. It works fine, however I think I'll definitely end up getting a lid for it.

Along with the Chad Robertson's Tartine Bread book, I bought this combo cooker. I've already baked two gorgeous loaves of bread in this Dutch oven. I've also reheated roasted vegetables in the larger pan while scrambling eggs in the shallower pan. In reality, I stacked the two pans while doing this.By preheating them to 450 degrees, coating them lightly with Crisco, baking them at 400 degrees for an hour, then letting them cool in the oven overnight, I did season them. Without a doubt, this wasn't necessary. But I still did it.So far, when I scramble eggs, I occasionally get some burned eggs on the pan that need to be cleaned off by heating some water in the pan. That has required much more effort than using a nonstick pan, but I believe that with practice, I will eventually get a superior nonstick surface. Having said that, I actually enjoy cooking with cast iron and would continue to do so even if I constantly needed to scrub a little more abrasively to get the burned-on parts to come off.The pans weigh a lot. The shallow pan should be on the bottom when baking, according to the Tartine book, as this makes it simpler to score the loaf without getting burned. I did as he advised twice. I initially neglected to score the loaf. The second time, I did it with a paring knife. But even with the deeper pan serving as the base, I don't see how I could ever burn myself if I used a knife. Particularly considering that I'm using my trusted blade while wearing long, cuffed oven gloves.For the following reason, I'll try baking the next loaf with the pans reversed: I think having deeper sides will make it much tougher to "skip" the pan when inverting the bowl to transfer the proofed and shaped bread into the heated pan. Instead of having all of the bread in the centre of the smaller pan for my second loaf, I ended up with some of it sticking along the side. I would have ended up overflowing over the side of the pan if I had been a little more off. If my dough is placed "onto the side," at least with the deeper pan on the bottom, the deeper sides will keep it in the pan better.Additionally, I think it will be simpler to use the deeper pan as the bottom because the bread won't be above the sides when the deeper lid is placed on top of it. This makes it simpler to put the lid on because I won't have to worry about the dough at that point, plus the smaller lid is obviously lighter.These will also be used to make deep dish pizza for me.Eta: I haven't had much luck creating deep dish pizza because the one time I attempted, the dough didn't cook all the way through. The lid of the combination cooker is excellent for making omelets, and scrambled eggs no longer adhere to it. I cook some chopped onions in a little coconut oil, add some chopped kale, and then pour the eggs over everything. The omelet cooks, and when I turn it with a metal spatula or pie server, it comes off with no effort. The eggs brown up beautifully. I'm not sure if cooking them on a lower fire will prevent them from browning, but I really enjoy the way they turn out when fried on a medium heat.However, making a country loaf is the pan's main function, and they turn out beautifully.

Over the years, I've purchased two of these 12" Lodge cast iron skillets from Amazon. My son's first apartment after college will use the second one I recently purchased in addition to the original one I purchased for myself years ago.I don't believe Lodge cast iron skillets can be beat for the price. Even though Lodge cookware costs many times more than cast iron, consumer research websites and publications like Cooks Illustrated consistently rank it at the top of their lists for the "best cast iron cookware."I can only think of older models of cast iron cookware that were made with higher quality than these. There is definitely a difference between my smaller Griswold cast iron skillets, which date from the 1930s through the 1940s. Cookware made of vintage cast iron in good condition typically has thinner walls and is a little lighter in weight. A raised bottom ridge, often known as a smoke ring, can be found on many older pieces. The smooth, polished surface of the vintage pieces, though, is what I consider to be the biggest distinction. Cast iron skillets made today, like those made by Lodge, frequently have a surface that is somewhat pebbled. Unfortunately, smooth-finished vintage cast iron cookware in good condition is becoming increasingly difficult to find. And it's generally fairly pricey when you do.My absolute favorite for searing thick tenderloin steaks and fish is an extremely hot cast iron skillet. I heated the skillet in a 500° oven for about 10 minutes without the silicone holder. Then I season the top side of salmon fillets or both sides of room temperature steak filets with a dry rub. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, set it over a high flame or burner, and add the steaks or salmon to sear them to the desired level of crispness and browning (usually just takes 1-3 minutes). Place back into the still-hot oven to complete cooking after flipping to other side for searing. Depending on the thickness of the steak or fish and the level of "done-ness," the oven time will vary. Since we like our steaks rare or medium-rare, it usually only takes a few minutes in the hot oven to finish salmon and other juicy fish.You'll discover that the surface of your skillet just continues getting better and better, even though the pre-seasoning on these skillets (Lodge uses soy-based vegetable oil) is a good way to start out without having to undertake that time-consuming step before using. I found them to be just as non-stick as a teflon coating for a lot of things.If there is anything stuck on that needs to be cleaned, I use a scraper, but that doesn't happen very often. I never wash mine with detergent. Instead, I clean with hot water and a scrubbie. Always make careful to completely dry cast iron objects to prevent rust from growing. Don't ever put them in the dishwasher either!When used on top of the stove, the silicone handle cover is a wonderful accent. Although it can withstand various oven temperatures, I take it out before putting it in a 500° oven because that is higher than what the silicone is supposed to withstand.

I therefore had to swap out a worn-out Teflon nonstick pan. I took a few moments to examine the brand-new nonstick coated cookware. This one received excellent reviews and was the ideal size for omelets and eggs. I went ahead and fired the shot, and I'm happy I did. I always add a little butter to my eggs or omelets to oil the pan. On occasion, I would get stuck patches with the old Teflon pan. With this pan, that is definitely not the case. It repels everything. Flipping your eggs is always a pretty simple process. The pan functions just as well as it looks. This little frying pan comes highly recommended if you're seeking for one.

At least in my opinion, a fantastic fry pan. The 14-inch width is excellent. I also have another 14-inch stainless steel appliance that requires two people to lift. This one is substantial yet not overly weighted. I regularly read reviews and find the negative ones for this pan to be confusing. The surface of mine hasn't flaked off, it hasn't warped, it's high enough for what I cook in it, and it doesn't slide. Therefore, I don't comprehend the issues others have experienced with it. One of Rachel Ray's goods, and as usual with all of them—I own a lot of them—this pan is simply outstanding in my opinion.

For many years, I've possessed a Lodge cast iron skillet, and I've always cherished it. Being a vegetarian, I appreciate being able to use cast iron to add iron to my food.I purchased this 5-piece set in order to receive the griddle and the Dutch oven with lid. Two skillets were also included, and each one is of a good caliber. Despite the inadequate packaging, none of the items arrived damaged (Lodge package put into an Amazon box with a piece of thick brown paper for cushioning). I immediately began seasoning them, and I already know they will serve me well for many years to come.It was the customer's problem, not the company's, according to several evaluations, that the skillets rusted readily. If you are unable to properly clean cast iron, do not purchase this. After buying it, you must season it; never use soap on it. After cleaning it with hot water and a rag or soapless sponge, always cover it with oil or another type of fat.Your cast iron will take care of you if you take care of it!

I'm aware that there are already a billion reviews, but after using Lodge cast iron cookware a billion times, I can't help but add my two cents. If you're just getting started with cast iron, read a lot of the unfavorable reviews first to find out who's really (often naively) ignorant of how to prepare, care for, and use dependable cast iron cookware.I own several Lodge skillets, a griddle, two Dutch ovens, and a pot with a self-basting top that fits both my old chef's skillet and one of my own. Specifically for use as an omelette and egg pan, I really needed a skillet with rounded sides. Given that I can neither acquire nor afford antique Griswold, the LCS3 is a great deal at $15.Like all Lodge products, it is pre-seasoned, which essentially means that an oily layer has been applied to stop oxidation. It is not the seasoning that prevents it from sticking. It depends on how you cook with it. After removing the seasoning from the package, I relished the cathartic ritual of baking four more coats of oil into it, turning it a gorgeous, lustrous black. Then I put it to use as a non-stick miracle.Some individuals bemoan the "pebbly" texture of the pan, even stating that this is the cause of food sticking, which is incorrect. The secret to cooking non-stick is using the right temperature and fat proportions. The texture is not indicative of anything. Additionally, the "pebbly" surface will become as smooth as silk with regular use. I've exhausted all of my lodgings at this point (except, of course, this brand new piece.)I can give you a quick summary of the many excellent YouTube videos that can help you learn how to cook with and take care of your cast iron. Cast iron should always be preheated over medium to low heat until it just begins to smoke. Reduce the heat a little. Add cold or room temperature butter, oil, or other fats. Coat the sides and bottom. Watch it glide around after adding your meal. After cleaning is complete, rinse with hot water; if fond remains in the pan, scrape it with a nylon scraper before rinsing. The cast iron on the stovetop burner should be thoroughly dried before receiving a very thin layer of oil. You're prepared for the upcoming use. When the coating reaches the right temperature, it will start to softly smoke, signaling that it's time to add your cooking fats.I personally don't use soap on my cast iron other than for the first wash-down after taking it out of the box. Certain folks do. Cooking with acidic foods and liquids, such as tomatoes or vinegars, can quickly require you to re-season your pan. Happy cooking and good fortune. Also, keep in mind the chef's adage, "Hot pan, cold fat."

For more than 40 years, I have been cooking. Over the years, I've probably purchased three dozen non-stick frying pans. Cast iron is popular, and I occasionally use it, but I never stick with it for very long since I simply don't find that it works well for me. Ceramic lasts for a short while until they start to stick after 6 to 12 months. Teflon, Silverstone, and all those other pans that resemble teflon function best for a time, but the lining eventually peels off. I now only purchase T-fal pans. They don't seem to stick at all and are really durable. Yes, they frequently cost a little more, but when they're on sale, they're a steal, and did I mention that they truly are non-stick?

I've been cooking with Iron for a while, but I'm not an expert (all kinds and brands handed down from parents and grandparents).Poor seasoning and a shoddy finish are cons. 1) As I was moving the skillets, I noticed how readily the seasoning rubs off on the bottom. However, the issue is resolved if you season your iron as you should. 2) Rough finish, but almost all brands have one now. So, regardless of brand, the issue would exist (unless high dollar skillets). The end of cons is pretty much at hand.PROS: Affordable and effective at what it is intended to achieve.Overview: If you're new to using cast iron, you should watch several YouTube tutorials on how to season and take care of it. I have read reviews stating that brands don't matter because iron will rust. Therefore, do some research on cast iron maintenance.) I never use cast iron that is brand-new right out of the box. I do use flax seed for the first 4-6 oven seasoning cycles at 450-500F, and then I grind/sand (to 220 grit) the inside down to smooth the surface and apply seasoning. After seasoning, I cook bacon until I'm no longer able to eat any more. Yeast rolls are my test for a new skillet to check how the heat moves up the side. I'm pleased that the heat in the oven was homogeneous after it reached temperature because my rolls browning on the sides and bottom were same. Although the Lodge skillets seem a little thinner, I haven't noticed any difference in functioning or heat transfer. So being lighter could have a benefit. My lone reservation is that I don't believe they are created in the USA. However, in terms of performance, I think re-seasoning is essential, and I personally prefer to grind or sand smooth. I feel they perform just as well as any other brand I own.
Cast iron skillets are a kitchen staple in many homes. They are durable and can be used for a variety of cooking tasks. While they require a little more care than other cookware, they are easy to clean and maintain with proper care. To wash a cast iron skillet, start by using hot water and a stiff brush to remove any food particles. If there is any stuck-on food, you can use a little soap to help loosen it. Rinse the skillet well and dry it completely with a towel. Once the skillet is dry, you can season
Cast iron skillets are a healthy option for cooking because they are made from natural materials and are coated with a natural non-stick surface. They are also less likely to leach chemicals into food than other types of cookware.
