Crock Pot Artisan 10 Inch Enameled Cast Iron Round Skillet, Sunset Orange

I have become so disgusted with buying non-stick skillets that don't even last a year. I'm done with them. I have re-outfitted my kitchen with strictly cast iron, enameled cast iron, and carbon steel skillets. This one is sharp-looking, cooks well, and cleans easily. I paid just as much for it as I did for each of the last three brand-name non-stick pans that are now residing in a landfill. Such a wasteful shame.

Even heat distribution. Easy clean up. Great skillet for any kitchen

The media could not be loaded.  It’s so heavy I hate it. It slides around on my glass top stove when I’m trying to cook in it. I can’t hold on to it by the handle without a mitt because the handle is scorching hot and I do not want to wear a mitt I’m already hot enough cooking . I can’t pick it up and take food to plate or dump it and I’m not even going to try to wash this I’m throwing it away bc I never want to see it again or have to move it. It’s not practical. It’s very pretty and I guess if you don’t mind the inconvenient weight then it’s great but personally it’s a no for me I wish I could return it but I don’t feel right doing so after I used itI’m giving it 5stars bc its not fare if I didn’t . It is everything it appears to be and says it is but for me personally I give it one star bc it doesn’t work for me . I told my husband I hate cast iron and heavy stuff never buy this and I’m mad he even brought this in my small home. I prefer light weight non stick skillets . But he ruined mine so I’m thrashing this

There are several "famous" brands of enameled cast iron cookware that are quite expensive. After years of my spouse using a couple of plain cast iron pans (I don't like them, myself). I persuaded her to try a two enameled cast iron pans as they're easier to take care of. We've had this pan for a few weeks, and it works just as well as the plain cast iron pan, but it doesn't get rusty, food cleans off it more easily, and you can soak it with detergent to help release burned on food. (We're not commenting on my wife's cooking -- she cooks her own breakfast in it as I cook my own using a "teflon" pan.) Ultimately, I'm quite satisfied with this pan as it's so much less ugly than the old rusty, crusty, plain cast iron pan. With its relatively low price, it's a bargain for this type of pan. (Our other pan is a much larger cast iron model from a "big name" brand. It isn't used as often, but it is also of excellent quality and is easy to care for.)

This is a very heavy pan - just like a regular cast iron one. I purchased the aqua one and it is pretty and I keep it on my stove so as not to scratch it in the cabinet. It's very easy to clean and a good size. I've only used it 3 times, but already I noticed a small area where the enamel chipped off on the lid! ugh!!! That one chip will bother me forever. Having the enameled surface to cook on is so nice though because I was always struggling to keep my cast iron properly seasoned and working to remove stuck on foods and yet not hurt the surface. That's why I moved to this pan.

WORKS WELL

Really loved this pan at first, I’ve had it since the end of Dec 2022 and it’s been losing it’s nonstick quality over the last month or so (feb/mar). It’s also gotten chips on both handles. I only hand wash and I’ve never used it in the oven, only stove top. I’ve had a Martha Stuart Dutch oven for about 2 years and it’s never given me issues like this pan. Very disappointing.

The first pan received was clearly a "return" item, very poorly packed and dirty/chipped. Sent back. Received the next one MUCH better packaging (looked new) but still not happy with how hard it is to clean. Nice size pan, seems to cook well so far but even following instructions to the tea (and common sense) it still does not come clean as it should. Oh well... guess "you get what you pay for" kind of thing. If this were a pan over $40 I would insist on a refund but for the price it's "ok" for now.

Spreads heat, cleans easily, cooks greatWhat more could you want in a fry pan?

All of the advantages of a cast iron pan with excellent thick coating

If you want the heat capacity of cast iron, but don't want to be bothered with caring for the pans' seasoning, enamel coated cast iron is a godsend!Like several people here, I did receive a damaged pan when I ordered the 10". It looked like the pan had been dropped in the warehouse and packed up for my order anyways. I returned it to Amazon, who shipped me out a replacement same day as I filed for a return, and before they'd gotten the damaged unit back. Taped the original box back up, printed out the shipping label Amazon emailed me, slapped it on, dropped it in the mail. Little hassle, and only a little delay.I've been using these for about a year now, as everyday cookware.Overall, these are great everyday pans. You need to take a bit of care with these, as the enamel isn't indestructible, and it WILL lightly scratch and darken with use - but that's all enameled cast iron, not just this pan. These take less maintenance than the pure cast iron cookware I've used in the past. Try not to burn food into the enamel. Still, you CAN bleach the enamel periodically overnight with a mild solution if a mild coloration patina build over time isn't to your liking ( probably once every 6-12 months if you require them to be returned to their original condition; I don't ). Note that this is coloring only - you can run your fingers over the enamel and it feels perfectly smooth; no material build up of any kind.The 8" is what I use for one person breakfast fries, the 10" for a general cooking use, and the deep lidded saute pan with lid makes for great one pan meals you can start on the stove top, and finish in the oven. Silicone handle and knob covers are definitely worth picking up to go with these.The 10" pans work GREAT as pie pans, and the 8" is great for making "skillet cookies", so they can do double duty as bakeware.You can pay 100s of dollars for pieces by Le Creuset - and they undeniably are wonderful pieces of cookware - but for the money, these are good, solid, everyday use enamel coated cast iron cookware.

Great pan that spreads heat evenly. Quite heavy as is cast iron but will last forever if cared for.

Great for making Pan buns
