Pre-Seasoned 12-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

The “non-stick” aspect has a little to do with the pan, and a LOT to do with how you use it. You can’t expect to use this like a conventional nonstick pan (Read below for cooking tips). This is the second piece I’ve ordered from Bruntmor and both items have been of good quality and have come without defect. Packaging was good, no damage from shipping. The pan itself is a lot bigger than I was anticipating. It’s actually wider than my burners which makes the edges of the pan not get hot enough. It’s heavy (obviously) but feels good in your hand. The enamel is smooth and beautiful. I was able to cook scrambled eggs without sticking, then some bacon that got nicely crispy. When I was done it washed clean with hardly any effort. Tips for using this pan (and other enameled cast iron): ALWAYS preheat the pan; If you put food in a cold or lukewarm pan it WILL stick like crazy. You know your pan is hot enough when food sizzles when it’s put in, but not so much that it’s smoking. This pan is close to being nonstick, but you still have to use some sort of oil. You don’t need much, but you can’t put most foods directly into a dry pan. When washing, be SURE you are using a sponge or brush that is non-scratch. I recommend a plastic bristle brush with a scraper, or the BLUE scotch pads/sponges. The green scotch pads (or anything abrasive) will leave tiny scratches in the enamel which will cause rough spots where food will start to stick horribly. All in all: buy it! It’s a great pan for this price, but you have to get used to using it a little differently from other pans.
