I also picked up the Lodge dutch oven and the lid fits both of these. I commonly slow-simmer chicken thighs in seasoning over a couple hours to make a great dinner.
The Failings of This Specific Pan
The interior of the pan is sort of a rough, micro-textured, abrasive surface. I find that if I wipe it with a cloth or paper towel, it comes away covered in tiny cotton fibers. Not being interested in eating cotton, I have to rinse it again, and let it air dry.
The problem with this is that Lodge's cleaning instructions state, in bold letters, "DO NOT AIR DRY". I e-mailed them asking what exactly the risk in air drying is, and they said the pan may rust, "around the edges". This seems odd, considering that the point of coating the pan is to eliminate this problem. But it turns out this is a hint that Lodge does not expect the enamel coating to last.
Sure enough, within one week of use, I began discovering chips in the enamel of both this pan and a similar Dutch oven by Lodge. And I do mean "discovering". I never dropped either item, and there were no "Bang - Whoops" moments. I just found small patches of enamel missing. This seems mostly to be happening on the bottom of the pan, where it interacts with the cooking surface, but it is not limited to that area.
An enamel coating that won't stay on the pan defeats the purpose of its own existence.
Another problem with this pan is that it is poorly balanced. Its solid iron handle causes it to list to one side on a cooking surface with any give (like most electric coils). It may also have problems sitting flat on many cooking surfaces with significant gaps (like many gas burners).
The General Failings of Cast Iron
It seems that "high end" pans tend to have thick aluminum cores. This is because aluminum "transmits heat" very efficiently. An aluminum core moves heat from the point of contact, throughout the entire pan, causing its cooking surface to be heated relatively evenly (no hot or cold spots), regardless of the location or shape of the heat source. In addition, the mass of a thick core, and the encasing steel, will store heat, so that adding cold food to the heated pan will have reduced effect on its temperature.
It may seem (as it initially did to me) that if a thick aluminum core is good, then a heavy cast iron core should be great. This is not the case. If it were, they wouldn't bother with aluminum cores in pans made of steel (which happens to be iron, infused with carbon). They go to the trouble and cost of sandwiching an aluminum core between layers of steel because it greatly improves the pan's performance.
The only thing Iron's sheer mass has going for it is a thermal stability that minimizes cooling when you add food. Unfortunately, the overkill of Iron's mass also minimizes cooling when you remove it from heat, and minimizes heating when you put it on the burner. And iron doesn't have aluminum's heat transmission properties. It is easy to get hot spots or inadvertently overheat the pan (after a long wait). The result is that, with cast iron, it takes much longer to cook, and it's very easy to burn food. In addition, due to the pan being "cast" as a single piece, it's only a matter of time until the solid iron handle burns your hand (perhaps 10 minutes after you've taken it off the heat).
Iron is very prone to rusting, and despite the reassurances of those who live with it, this, along with its maintenance needs, unwieldy weight, and heat retention, all conspire to greatly complicate the purportedly simple activity of cleaning it.
Despite all this, cast iron pans are still sold because they are relatively cheap, and under the right conditions, they have a sort of non-stick surface.
The General Failings of Enamel Coating
Coating iron pans with enamel theoretically addresses rusting and maintenance issues. Unfortunately, it also defeats both of the reasons that iron is even still being used. The enamel coating costs more than the iron pan itself, and it isn't non-stick.
Conclusion
If, in addition to the general failings of cast iron and enamel coating, you get an oddly textured and flaky coating, and an unbalanced pan, what you have is a pan that:
- takes longer to heat than it takes to cook,
- won't sit flat on the burner,
- heats unevenly, overheats, and promotes food burning,
- takes forever to cool, and will probably burn you at some point,
- can't be washed for 30 minutes after using or it may crack,
- has an oddly rough interior, making it difficult to clean and dry,
- has no non-stick properties,
- is super heavy and unwieldy (a bad combination with scalding, slick enameled handles),
- is too expensive for cast iron,
- will probably end up rusting,
- is just basically a complete disaster.
Bottom line: Don't buy this pan.
Before discussing this I wanted to point out that I’ve been using Lodge Cast Iron for over 40 years. My family has been using Lodge Cast Iron for three generations. Which is why it pains me to write this review. I know the ends and outs of enamel coated cast iron.
The first issue was the coating on the inside of this skillet. I thought it was odd that this enamel on the inside of this skillet was different from what I’ve seen in the past. I tabled this concern because this is a Lodge product and I grown accustomed to a certain level of quality concerning Lodge cast iron; however, I was sadly disappointed. Within the first three months the interior of the skillet began to chip. At first it was just a single chip but after another few days it chipped a lot more. I had to stop using it when I started to find chips if the coating in my food.
The second thing was the odd size. The skillet is 11 inches around. The size made it absolutely impossible to find a lid that would fit this skillet. This turned out to be a big problem for me because I often use a lid to build up or retain heat in my cookware.
Although I do not use this skillet anymore I have saved it in the hopes that I will have the opportunity to point out problems with this design to Lodge and I genuinely hope that they will make corrections.
I ended up replacing the 10 inch Cuisinart model in December of 2014. This skillet is very similar in size and shape to the standard Lodge Cast Iron 10 inch skillet and the lid from my enameled Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens fit securely. To date the coating on the interior coating has not chipped and it appears to be good quality. I really hate to say this but so far the replacement skillet is performing a lot better than the Lodge model.
I’m still and avid Lodge user. If Lodge did correct the problems with this skillet and would consider a more universal size (like ten inches) I would consider purchasing one.
Top reviews from other countries
I cooked some breaded chicken in oil, which worked out alright, but after cleaning and drying the pan (after letting it cool of course) the next time I went to cook when I put the heat to it the oil from the chicken I cooked started oozing up from underneath the cooking surface enamel! Gross.
I cleaned it again very well making sure it s spotless and bone dry, put it on the heat again and yep, oil started coming up through the enamel again. Like it was porous somehow.
Tl/Dr after reading reviews and seeing it for myself the build quality is all over the map with this thing. Don't risk your money and time on this item.
Ps: I bought the Cuisinart 12 inch castlite plan to replace this and it's awesome.
