Enameled Cast Iron Skillet, Island Spice Red (11 inch) - Utopia Kitchen

Found this skillet while looking a higher priced ones, and figured it was worth the shot.I was on a hunt primarily to use this to cook rib eye steaks at about 1.5" thick, and at a high temperature.This skillet has reached 600 degrees in my BBQ, and then transferred to the side burner over a low heat. In testing the skillet remained a little higher than 500 degrees through the steak sear (around 4 minutes) with the burner. After that the steak was turned over and placed back in the grill for the next 4 minutes or so. I am very happy with the cooking performance at this price point, and cannot imaging a better performance done by anything higher priced.The enamel seemed to be intact well, however it is discolored from the heat. I would not expect the enamel to stay the same bright red on any skillet with these types of temperatures, however I do expect the enamel to stay intact and not crack, peel or chip - and this skillet handled it just fine.Cleanup is pretty easy afterwards, a light soap and some warm water, followed by a light coat of oil till its next use.

After I seasoned it works great ...had a Small chip out of the Cast Iron...Kept it anyway.

I love my glass range, but I was missing using my iron skillet.This skillet is the perfect solution to that problem.

I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, honestly, I didn't think it was going to be as nice as it was. I just treat it like pre seasoned cast iron pan i.e. Season some more with oil after use, n use oil when before frying. I love it!! It's heavy n looks well made.

bottom (cooking surface) is rough and has occlusions that may cause problems.

Gorgeous skillet

Looks so cute I leave it out on my stovetop.

Love this- it transfers from stovetop to oven very well and cooks evenly
