We have just received it today and after washing it thoroughly we used it for the first time to "grill" T-bone steaks in it. We would normally cook such thick pieces of steak on the barbecue - Texas style, but with the current freezing temperatures by us that was out of question.
With a little butter and olive oil, searing the meat on medium high was perfectly uniform. Then slow cooking in the steak's own fat resulted in a very tender meat at the perfect temperature.
The enameled cast iron skillet was easy to clean. This is our second enameled cast iron product that bears the "Crock Pot" brand and we are very happy so far.
The quality of the enamel coating is very important in cast iron cookware and Crock Pot as a company seems to be doing a good job based on our own experience. Although we read here and there feedback about products getting their enamel chipped on the first use or out of the box, I guess we were lucky that we didn't have such misfortune.

Not no-stick! But still a great pan.
Be very clear - this is NOT a no-stick pan! After having used this for a few months, I'm changing my review. Once you get past the fact that enameled is not no-stick and is not meant to be no-stick, you begin to see how good that pan can be. Enameling is meant to avoid the hassle of constantly needing to oil a cast iron pan, not to make food not stick. The pan has held up well, and other than some elbow grease to clean after use, is doing rather well. Even the stain in the picture eventually scrubbed off. It now looks almost like new. This is a fine cast iron pan and I recommend it. It's wearing a lot more slowly than my old teflon-coated cast iron pan, and I'm not eating teflon.

After three weeks it sticks and can't get the black off after scrubbing
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019
I received all four of these pans on May 1st 2019. Today is may 23rd 2019. The three that are not black in the middle, where off brand super cheap 14.99 for all three. The one in the middle with the black stuff that I can't seem to get off after scrubbing is the item I'm reviewing. I figured I'd buy 3 super cheap pans and then just replace them after the non-stick wore off which I assume would happen within the first six to nine months. What I did not expect was for the crockpot brand cast iron non-stick skillet to no longer be non stick after 3 weeks of use. Literally I think I used this pan 10 times. No I did not use a nonstick cooking spray on it. Extra virgin olive oil or butter. But it really doesn't even matter as even bacon with all of the bacon grease that it creates still stuck to this pan. Definitely not worth purchasing.Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019
