While the pan is hot, I take a little bit of Crisco Shortening (about a tablespoon) and drop it in the pan, using a pasty brush I spread the melted shortening over the full interior surface, then I take a paper towel and wipe out any excess (but not too dry you want it to have a slight sheen to it), then I rub the outside of the pan, including the handle, sides and bottom. If you do have a sticking when the pan has cooled add hot water only, allow to soak for about 15 minutes or so and clean as usual."
"But really, the proof in the quality of this cast iron was obvious when i made sweet potato corn bread and baked it in the oven in this skillet. I'm enclosing pictures, so you can see the nice way it cooked the corn bread on both the top and bottom of the bread."
"I love this skillet!"
"Perfect for egg muffin sandwiches, it's the right size and height after cooking compared to the "Mc" brand."
"To season the pan (yes, it is pre-seasoned, but...if you want the BEST non-stick pan...) just coat the pan with a light coating of cooking oil and put it in the oven (upside down) at 450 for 20 minutes. Then, turn the oven off and let the pan cool off. The best part is when a recipe requires cooking in a pan and then transferring the contents into bakeware, so it can be placed in the oven."
Easy care: hand wash, dry, rub with cooking oil.

"I didn't feel like spending $300 for an antique skillet on ebay, however, so I bought one of these and polished the entire interior surface with a power drill and an avanti quick strip disk, and finished it off with an orbital sander. Still, I find it pretty irritating that there are no major manufacturers of smooth-bottom cast iron skillets in this day and age."
"When it was past time to replace our non-stick fry pans, I started doing some research and even the "Eco" ones aren't meant to be used at high temperatures (that are easily reached on consumer ovens) so I set out looking for alternatives."
"The entire skillet including the handle gets extremely hot and it is safer and more convenient to use the silicone handle protectors then a oven mitt or dish towel."
"We have purchased several non stick pans over the years for daily use and they never last more than couple years."
"I cook grilled cheese, hamburger, eggs, bacon, country green beans, steak you name it, in this pan and it all turns out beautifully. Once a week I rub the inside down with shortening, turn it upside down on my center oven rack with foil below it on the next rack down and cook it for an hour at 375."
"The non stick pans no matter what they claim have a very limited lifespan. It make food taste great, but you have to learn how to cook with it."
"I got mine from my grandma and they were already seasoned and everything, but when I moved out I wanted to give the gift of cast iron to my roommate and got her this pan."
Measures 12.563”L x 10.438”W x 6”H (with lid), 12.563”L x 10.375”W x 4.563”H (without lid).

"I didn't have any way of knowing how big or small the 2 Qt would be because Amazon's specs and the specs in the Lodge catalog were different."
"I make a full 3 cups of flour recipe and divide the dough after first proofing in half and make two small loaves using parchment paper in the cast iron pot. I have given these small loaves of artesian bread to neighbors (with the browned parchment paper on and it looks perfect)."
"On my 3rd use with this pot (2nd time roasting a chicken, and baked some bread) the coating started coming off the bottom of the inside in flakes."
"I have used this dutch oven several times now and must say I like it very much. The ham was the best I've ever baked and was my first attempt at preparing the entire meal myself."

Best Skillets
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. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, theses virtually indestructible cookware should last for generations. Note the black patina given to the cookware by the factory seasoning process is, in fact, vegetable oil that has been baked into a piece of cookware that has emerged from an individual sand mold. As a result of this process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the rim, southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. Easy care: hand wash, dry, rub with cooking oil.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I recently ordered three enameled dutch ovens from Amazon, and two of them were damaged as a result of very poor packaging. It is not clear from the listing above, but if you look closely, below the ordering information, there is a small note stating that this item will ship in its original box. With the extra box, my Lodge arrived very carefully packaged, and the pot was in perfect, pristine condition. The Lodge dutch oven has lovely exterior enamel and the cast iron is a bit heavier than other models."
"Although the item doesn't state it, Lodge replaced all their silly plastic lid knobs with steel ones... meaning they can be in a 500F oven!"
"I haven't cooked in mine yet, but I did in the one my son has and he's had his for a few years, and it's still in perfect condition. Update: After using this gorgeous pot weekly for the past 5 months it still looks brand new as if I just pulled it out of the box with the exception of 1 small pin size spot on the inside enamel missing."
"Product received with a chip in the lid."
"But today when I brown chicken breast, I heard of a pop and the oven looks like as following pic.I promise I followed all the thing listing on the instruction, wash it by hand, never heat it when it's empty."
"I purchased a Lodge EC6D43 Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 6-Quart, Island Spice Red on January 31, 2017. After reading amazon feedback, there appears to be a number of people with similar problems. I am waiting to hear back from Lodge, but probably should have gone with a higher end product."
"Enamel inside bottom chipped on the second use."
"Outside package was not damaged but as soon as I opened the box there was green enamel all on the inside!"

They only thing I have ever had stick during cooking are packaged red beans and rice which require frequent stirring."
"Or else you will be trying to heat a surface area of maybe a half dollar coin...pan just does not remain flat. It did maintain its integrity with regard to the non-stick surface...but the non flat is why it is now just ill spent money to me."

In my humble opinion, these are a necessity for those of us that have a life and want do not want to spend all of my time trying to prop my loaves up to try to get a decent loaf of bread that can be used to make sandwiches measuring more than 2 inches tall."
"The difference that this rack made was that instead of being flat as they were on a cookie sheet, the loaves were nice and round, which made them much better for making sandwiches from."
"So if you follow a baguette recipe you'll end up more with a 'Pain' shape than a 'Baguette shape' means your bread will be shorter and bigger than a baguette."
"It is light weight too and the non stick makes for easy clean up, Since it isn't recommended that you put in a dish washer ."
"I rubbed the pan very lightly with oil and there was absolutely no issues with the bread sticking to the pan."
"I've made bread for 65 plus years, and I took a picture of the 2 loaves."
"I'd maybe try flattening the pan out a bit to minimize this discrepancy, but would be concerned with weakening the center connection ridge since it's already perforated and bent."
"Best for those wonderful crunchy loaves that taste so amazing when you rip em open still hot just for the joy of fresh hot bread."

"The two best things about this product are: A: It's cast iron, it will out last you if you take care of it. just spend five minutes after your meal to wash it (no soap needed). dry it (with a dish rag and then on the stove over low to medium heat) oil it (light coat with a paper towel). Ooh, I wanna take ya! Okay, Its only about seven or eight pounds, but you still shouldn't drop it on your toe. Or an Ewok, which is not a Wok at all, but a joke played on all of us by George Lucas."

Best Popover Pans
The cups are designed so that as popovers bake, rise, and "pop over" just like in the bakery—they won't spread into the others in the pan. That’s why we’ve been crafting innovative equipment, for professionals and serious home bakers, for over 100 years. Use this pan to make traditional popovers, Yorkshire puddings but can also be used to make traditional muffins.

Find Best Price at Amazon"But you could also save $3 and buy this other pan that, in my opinion, is a smidgen better than the Chicago Metallic. Compare this to: Bellemain 6 Cup Nonstick Popover Pan. (Available on Amazon). Yes, I felt like a doctor with a jar of butter oiling up the pans, but ANYWAY... That's why popover pans are separated like that to allow air circulation. The extra 0.25" wider mouth allowed the pop over to open ever so slightly more than the Chicago. The Chicago brand had a more straight side (so to speak) whereas the Bellmain curved out slightly more rounded at the top of the cups. I was America Test Kitchen's #1 pick and recommended product. Again, the extra edge the Bellmain had was: smoother opening/curvature of the cup, darker color for better heat absorption, and slightly heavier weight. The slight problem the Bellmain had was more imperfection as detected by my fingers and this may lead to longer term non-stick performance issue but again I cannot predict this without a long-term trial. Both cups when new released the pastry very, very easily without any issue whatsoever. The Bellmain produced a slightly prettier popover than the Chicago. Make sure you hot water soak your eggs, milk, and melt that better before whisking the batter."

"This is the best popover pan for the Hudsons popover recipe I have perfected."

My iron skillets and kettles are so well-seasoned I don't expect to ever have to use it to clean any of them, but I can recommend it for all of the above cleaning jobs and have no reason to doubt that it works well at restoring cast iron."
"I've always used stainless steel scrubbers on my cast iron, but they would get really dirty and they're really hard to clean, so I'd throw them out and get a new one each time I cleaned my cast iron."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I decided to go with stainless steel because no matter how much it sticks, you can always get it out with Bar Keepers Friend, soaking or as a last resort; steel wool. Read all the reviews before getting it and noticed a lot say it does not heat up well enough, it sticks, it doesn't clean well, the lid is too heavy and the wok is too light, and to only use it on medium low heat to avoid burned or stuck food. I tried it on medium low heat and it had so little heat that I could touch the sides of the pan and it wast even warm to the touch. I finally decided to use it on high heat, which is how stir-fry is supposed to be cooked at and everything worked great. Whatever leftover food stains on the wok can be worked out with some soaking and Bar Keepers Friend. As for the wok being too light, that's generally how it should be as the method used during stir-fry is to lift the wok up with one hand and dish/scrape the food onto a place with the other. If there's still food stains, use Bar Keepers Friend. I'm happy with this purchase."
"It makes sense that some people may have simply overlooked this, and started boiling water, cook steak etc, on high heat and then been confused as to why things were burning."
"However... the rivets that they used to attach the handles onto the cookware are made of cheap crap. The first time I made a soup in the stock pot I had to store the pot in the fridge for a couple of days. I don't understand why you would make a good pan, but attach the handles with cheap product that break down from simple food and washing over time."
"How a manufacturer van make a pot and handles out of stainless steel and use a rivet with a lesser grade of SS is I am sure not a design flaw but a part substitution."
"After it was done, I turned the heat OFF, took some on my plate and put the lid on to keep the rest of the food warm."
"While the pan is nice, I received a defective glass lid that shattered the first time I used it, while cooking with it."
"I commented on another review that wrote that the glass top shattered, but I feel the need to write another so that this can product can have a lower star review and to encourage people NOT to buy this product. This is a big safety issue that has seriously made me consider not buying any Cuisinart products as this should have been tested."

Find Best Price at Amazon"This is an honest review from a professional chef who has used this product in their home kitchen almost every day for an entire year. I was not paid to write this review nor did I receive any compensation for my efforts. The handle felt comfortable in my hand and the riveting appeared to be sturdy. The pan withstands high heat, does not warp and is easy to clean. The unique T-fal Thermo-Spot heat indicator shows when the pan is perfectly preheated for cooking. Prometal Pro nonstick interior is exceptionally durable and scratch resistant. The two most important claims that T-Fal promotes (i.e. that the surface is durable/scratch resistant and is safe to use with metal utensils) are false. An alternative coating would eliminate this issue altogether and would not significantly increase production costs: https://www.google.com/patents./US20100276432. My 4 star review is extremely generous considering the fact that advanced material science and nano-technology are not being used to create a superior consumer product."
"I bought this 12-inch pan after having seen a review on 'America's test kitchen' where they basically tested different sets of saute/omelette pans ranging from cheap to very expensive brands and they picked this one based on its performance. I was surprised that after just 3 months of use, this pan is no longer flat and circular."
"Second, and more importantly, the lip on the pan is on the left side. Plus, the pan is so slippery that it is difficult to control the pour without the lip."
"First time using this pan and it has an overall a good nonstick surface but it isn't entirely flat."
"I take my cooking seriously and I cannot recommend T-fal non-stick pans. If you want a good quality non-stick pan spend $10 more and get the one in the right side of the pan."
