Crock-Pot 10 Inch Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Handles - Ideal for Searing, Roasting, Frying - Even Heat Distribution, Pour Spouts - Oven-Safe & Stovetop Safe (Red)

I have recently been adding some cast iron pans to my collection of cooking pots. I have learned the ones with an enameled inside are much easier to clean. I found a really firm nylon spatula that gets the crispy bits off the inside of the pan so it doesn't stay stuck to the pan while it cooks too. I have learned to use a much lower heat setting for cooking. If the recipe says to cook on medium high I set the heat for medium and watch the cooking carefully so I can turn it down if the crispies start turning too brown. I am very pleased with the quality of this pan. It is quite heavy and the instructions said not to slide it across the surface of an induction heat cook top, so I try to lift it. The handle gets hot and after surprising myself by grabbing a hot handle I got a silicone handle cover to protect my hand. The price is very good compared to other brands. I have a 10" glass lid I got to use with a different pan and it fits this pan well.

I purchased this after getting a CrockPot baking pan in the same enameled cast iron at TJ Maxx. Having used a variety of cookware in the past, I knew I didn't have the patience for actual cast iron anymore but was wanting to move away from the aluminum skillets I had. It's not an exaggeration to say that this skillet (also got a 3 QT pot) has significantly improved the cooking experience and makes better food. It has all of the nice qualities of cast iron (like retaining heat) but is much easier to clean. The CrockPot brand is less expensive than others and very nice. As others have noted, it is heavy and does stain a bit even if you clean very well. I'm fine with both of those things.

The chef in our house loves this skillet. He raves about how evenly and easily it cooks a sunny side up egg and is very pleased with how easy it is to clean. It's a work horse in our kitchen every day!

The pan is amazing i use it all the time for stakes and pork chaps. very easy to clean. The only thing that i dont like is that it has some micro hairline cracks you almost cant see them and i dont think there on the surface but i guess that happens with high heat. Its a sine that there ceramic process is less then amazing but unless you want to pay $200 for a Le Creuset im fine with it. I haven't noticed any performance issues do to it. and its not like food is getting into the cracks or anything. If your thinking about getting one just do it there still really nice pans and being able to go from stove top to the oven is really nice when cooking.

Bought this to replace my old cast iron pan that had started to flake on the outside. I decided not to use bare cast iron anymore as I’ve had such good luck with the enamel version in my various Dutch ovens. I won’t use it on top of the stove as I have good oxo non stick pans for eggs, etc. I will mainly use this new one for roasting chicken and turkey thighs, just like with the old one. I did do a large chicken breast the other day and it came out great. After I took the meat and drippings out, I let it cool completely and then wiped the pan. There were a few minor bits stuck on but when I washed it, they came right off in hot, soapy water. Due to the extra handle , it does weigh slightly more than my old one but the handle compensates for the weight. The skin didn’t get quite as brown as with the old one but I had it on 350. With thighs, I normally set it on 365 for a shorter cook time so I’ll just have to see.

I gave this one star because it is very nice looking, but it is way too hard to clean. Everything sticks to it and it takes days of soaking to even loosen stuck-on food. I have greased it prior to cooking with no results. I have it soaking in my sink with vinegar but that isn’t helping. Was going to donate, but I’m throwing it away.

Perfect size for morning eggs. Easy to clean

The skillet is right size, right weight, with a nice red and white porcelain enamel finish. Exactly what I wanted except that it arrived with a flaw. There is a 1/4" by 1/2" spot of the red enamel finish chipped off the handle. See image. I did not think it was very well packed for shipment and sure enough upon further inspection I found the enamel chip inside the shipping box. It's serviceable and I won't return it but three stars is best I can do for this review.

As this was relatively inexpensive for an enameled cast iron skillet, I have been pleasantly surprised at its durability. I do use and clean it correctly, without harsh chemicals or abrasives. It performs exceedingly well for its price. I've given it 5 stars because I can't fault it.

The one shown in the picture has a helper handle also, but the one I received doesn’t have helper handle, as the pan is heavy it’s difficult to use without a helper handle, I think I have received a duplicate one, not the original pan

Só beleza. Panela pesada e prega todas as comidas. Não adianta comprar panela de ferro para cozinhar e ter que colocar óleo,azeite para cozinhar. Até uma tapioca que é para colocar com a panela quente, prega. Não recomendo.

Love it! Quality is amazing. Might order the bigger size too

Estoy muy feliz con este sartén. Obviamente hay que saber usarlo: calentar a fuego lento e ir subiendo temperatura. Pero me gusta mucho cómo sella carne sin quemar elementos como mantequilla tan fácilmente. Es fácil de limpiar y puedes desglasar con ácidos, vinagres o vinos sin preocuparte. Es pesado pero esa es su naturaleza. Ningún problema en hornos o cocinar con altas temperaturas. Un indispensable en la buena cocina. Ojo que amo mis hierros fundidos crudos, pero no podría cocinar tomates o ácidos en ellos. Este sartén es muy amable y un poco más suave que un hierro fundido sin esmaltar
