Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 10-1/4-Inch Square Skillet Grill, Red

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 10-1/4-Inch Square Skillet Grill, Red Review



Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 10-1/4-Inch Square Skillet Grill, Red Feature

  • Square grill pan made of even-heating enameled cast iron
  • Ridges impart tasty grill marks on food and allow for lower-fat cooking
  • Cast-iron handle and opposite helper handle facilitate convenient transport
  • Hand washing recommended; oven- and broiler-safe
  • Measures approximately 12 by 13-1/2 by 2 inches; limited lifetime warranty
By squaring this skillet and flaring its sides, famed French cookware manufacturer Le Creuset offers extra cooking room for steaks, fish, burgers, or any food that benefits from stovetop grilling and the caramelized flavor imparted by seared grill marks. The ribs in the grill's bottom not only provide those marks but also elevate foods so that fat collects between them for low-calorie cooking. Because cast iron is unmatched for heat retention and even distribution--no hot spots--foods will cook uniformly in the 10-1/4-inch-square grill. Enameled outside with a bright, smooth surface and inside with a black satin-texture finish, this is a heavy, durable grill that works on any stovetop, in the oven, or under a broiler. It's also stylish enough (think French farmhouse kitchen) to bring to the table. Though it's dishwasher-safe, hand washing preserves a patina that builds up with use and aids in the grill's stick resistance. --Fred Brack With Le Creuset grills you can cut the fat but retain the flavor. The deep ribs separate the fat from the food allowing for healthier cooking. The grills can go on the stove or under the broiler - a rainy day will never prevent you from enjoying your favorite barbeque foods. The ribbed base sears food evenly and gives the characteristic char lines. With Le Creuset grills you can serve it with a sizzle. Whether frying, grilling, or sauteing, the satin black enamel interior on our grills can withstand the rigors of everyday use and offer great flexibility. Best of all, they require no seasoning and will not absorb odors or flavors..

Lodge Logic 3-Piece Cookware Set plus Cookbook

Lodge Logic 3-Piece Cookware Set plus Cookbook Review



Everything you need for cast iron cooking, preseasoned in the unique Logic process: 5-quart Dutch oven with lid, 10.25" skillet, and "A Skillet Full" cookbook of traditional Southern recipes, compiled by the Historic Preservation Society of South Pittsburg, Tennessee, home of the Lodge factory.

The oil used to season Lodge Logic is Kosher Certified soy-based vegetable oil. The oil is electrostatically sprayed onto the cookware, then baked on at high temperatures. It would take approximately 20 home seasonings to replicate the seasoning process used at Lodge's Tennessee facility.

The Lodge 10 1/4" skillet was rated one of the 20 most essential tools in the kitchen (Martha Stewart, February 2006). This cookware can be used on the stove top, in the oven or on the campfire.

The traditional Dutch oven with wire bail has been around for more than a century. It's perfect for camp and hearth cooking and is a natural for countless recipes.

Lodge Color 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice Red

Lodge Color 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice Red Review



Lodge Color 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice Red Feature

  • Dishwasher-safe, but washing by hand recommended; lifetime warranty.
  • Lid fits 11-inch Lodge color skillet; oven-safe to 400-degree F
  • 2 Coats of durable porcelain enamel in colorful exterior, cream-colored interior
  • Heavy cast iron pot cooks on stovetop or in oven; superbly retains heat
  • Lodge color series enameled cast-iron dutch oven; holds 6-quart
Lodge Color is one of the newest lines from this respected American cast iron cookware company. Traditionally shaped and more affordable than some European brands, Lodge Color enameled cast iron is just as durable, requires no seasoning, and attractively serves at the table. Lodge infuses this 6-quart Dutch oven with two coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel, in a choice of several bright colors that are gradated (dark to light) on the exterior, and which are nicely set off by a cream interior. Embellished with concentric circles and a black knob, the lid, which also fits the Lodge Color 11-inch skillet, is oven-safe to 400 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 6-quart Dutch oven measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep.

Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its versatility-you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won't absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, sauté, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge's meticulous specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also for the pricier Lodge Enamel series, with its unique L-shaped lid knob, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen. All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri This 6 Qt enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 10 3/4" diameter, 4 1/2" deep. Island Spice

  • Pre-seasoned heavy cast-iron skillet
  • Superior heat retention and even cooking
  • Two handles for heavy lifting
  • 12 inches in diameter, 2 inches deep
  • Heirloom pan for kitchen or camping
Pancakes, eggs, and bacon somehow taste extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. Fry up a mess of catfish, roast a chicken, or bake an apple crisp in this generous 12-inch pan that features two handles for heavy lifting, and two subtle side lips for pouring. While the skillet comes preseasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use.

The even heating of cast iron is necessary for golden, tender, perfectly pan-fried chicken. What other cookware can rival the heat retention, versatility, value and durability of cast iron.
