Con
Very heavy
Weighing 6.8 lbs, this skillet may not be suitable for cooks with weaker wrists.

Top
Pro
Can be used to cook acidic foods
Since this skillet's enamel is non-reactive, nothing from the cooking surface leaches into food, even when exposed to highly acidic foodstuffs. As a result, pasta sauce, chili or anything else can simmer for a long time or even be stored in the pan.

Con
Expensive brand
The smallest and cheapest 6.3'' skillet version costs $119.95. The largest 12'' skillet costs $199.99.

Pro
A looped extra handle for easier handling
Since the skillet is heavy, it has an extra handle for added balance when moving the pan. The handle is large and looped, comfortable to grip even when wearing bulky oven mitts.

Con
Sensitive to sudden changes in temperature
To use with high heat, this skillet should be heated up slowly for 10 minutes. When heated up, it should never be cooled suddenly (such as plunged in cold water), as the enamel coating may crack and come off entirely.

Pro
Can handle high heat
This Le Creuset skillet can be used in temperatures of up to 500 ºF. Most of the other enameled cast-iron frying pans are not supposed to be used above 450 ºF.

Con
Not suitable for using on a campfire
Unlike the bare-cast iron skillets, this enameled skillet should not be put straight into campfires. The temperatures of open flames are hard to control, and if the skillet gets too hot, the enamel can soften enough to get damaged.

Pro
Wide range of colors
The skillet comes in 16 colors: matte black, white, mineral blue, cerise red, sugar pink, cashmere grey, cotton beige, amethyst purple, marseille blue, soleil yellow, palm green, flame orange, carribean teal, hibiscus pink, marine blue, and oyster grey. The glossy outside enamel looks appealing and decorative.

Pro
Comes preseasoned for immediate use
This skillet comes with a layer of seasoning and can be used right away. The cooking surface of Le Creuset's enamel allows for some more seasoning, but not so much as a raw cast-iron skillet.

Pro
Spouts for easier pouring
This frying pan has spouts on two sides, so it is easy to pour out grease or gravy.

Pro
Suitable for various cooking mediums
The enameled Le Creuset skillet can be used with these heat sources: gas/electric/induction stove-tops, oven, broiler, and grill, although using a grill risks damaging the pan's outer glossy enamel layer.

Pro
Comes preseasoned for immediate use
The Lodge skillet is perfect for people not familiar with cast-iron cookware because it comes with a layer of seasoning and can be used right away. The non-stick properties improve with further seasoning. This can be done by either cooking greasy foods in it for the first few times or seasoning with oil/lard (see Care Of Traditional Cast Iron Cookware).

Con
Takes a long time to heat up evenly
For more even heat distribution this skillet needs to be heated in an oven for 20-30 minutes or alternatively on a stovetop for 10 minutes, rotating by 45 degrees every few minutes.

Con
Needs to be cleaned and dried immediately after use
After cooking, food should be removed immediately and the skillet should be cleaned. It can be scrubbed with a nylon/plastic brush if needed. Then it should be washed in warm water, dried off completely and wiped down with cooking oil.

Con
Heat diffuser needed for small burners
The heat might not transfer evenly if the burner is smaller than the skillet, so an additional heat diffuser might be needed.
See More
Top
Pro
Comes with a silicone slip-on holder for burn-protection
The silicone handle holder protects from burns, as the short handle of this skillet gets very hot, especially after using in an oven. The holder slips on and off easily, providing a good grip.

Top
Con
Can scratch ceramic glass stovetops
This skillet is heavy and might be a bit uneven (pebbly) on the outside. When using ceramic glass stovetops, you must only lift the pan out as sliding it around can damage the surface.

Pro
Perfect for searing meat
Once hot, the skillet holds heat for a very long time so it is perfect for searing meat.

Con
Silicone handle holder can slip off
Some users reported that the holder needs to be gripped tight, especially if the cook has difficulty lifting the skillet.

Pro
Very versatile use
This skillet can be used for a wide variety of cooking such as searing, roasting, frying, baking, and one pan stove-to-oven recipes.

Con
Not dishwasher safe, rusts if soaked in water
The Lodge Cast-iron skillet should not be put in the dishwasher or soaked. It will rust and chip if exposed to water for too long. The pan needs to be dried off completely directly after washing.
See More
Top
Pro
No fear of overheating
Cast iron can handle temperatures well above any home oven (melting point above 2000 ºF). This skillet will need to be reseasoned if left on heat, empty, for a long time or if it's often subjected to temperatures around 500 ºF.
See More
Top
Con
Not suitable for cooking acidic food
When cooking with tomatoes, citrus, pineapple, or other acidic foods, the seasoning can strip away and the pan will need to be reseasoned. Without seasoning, the iron may leach and give food a metallic taste.

Top
Con
Rough, pebbled cooking surface
Some users dislike rough cooking surfaces of these skillets, because they take time and frequent use to get smoother.
