Mario Batali 14-Inch Pizza Pan, Persimmon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pan is great from the design point of veiw; except that its handle is made so fragile. It could break easily if not handled with care. When I first received it, the packing was poorly done and because of that the handle was broken. I observed the handle and noticed that it could break easily if not handled with care. But the baking surface is excellent and the look is excellent too. So I re-ordered it and I am hoping that this time I will get it in tact.
Well, I finally got the second shipment. I still think the packaging is poor for such a fragile item. The packaging from the manufacturer is itself not good; to top it off Amazon's packing was poor also; which is very unusual. Hopefully this will serve as a constructive criticism for future improvement.

Camp Chef CSC-8 6-Ounce Bottle of Cast-Iron Conditioner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This conditioner is better than Crisco or any other shortening or oil because it won't go rancid like other oils can. If you don't use your Dutch oven or other cast iron all winter and it just sits somewhere, chances are good that it will be rancid come spring and you'll have to strip and re-season it. That won't happen with this conditioner.

Lodge LCC3 Logic Pre-Seasoned Combo Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)if you are just outfitting your kitchen, start with this pan. Especially if you are cooking for 2 or 3. The 10" deep skillet is one of the least expensive, decent fry pans available. You can do a dutch apple pie with the lid on in the oven, you can cook eggs, pancakes, french toast on the lid. If you are cooking for 4, and want just one fry pan, get the 12". Otherwise this pan does it all. Roast, fry, oven and stove top. The pans are tough, mine is going on 20+ years.
Downside, takes a bit more oil or grease than a Teflon pan, but then if you own a parrot you already know you can't cook on Teflon. Makes you wonder how good it is for the rest of us.

Get two pieces of cookware in one package with this cast iron Combo Cooker from the Lodge Logic line. It features a 3-quart base that can act as a deep skillet or shallow Dutch oven and a shallow 10-1/4-inch skillet/griddle that also acts as a lid to the 3-quart base. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box.
While both come pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, they work best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After the meal is done, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately. Lodge covers the sturdy oven with a lifetime limited warranty against defects, and when cared for properly, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cornbread Wedge Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very glad that I finally picked up this piece! I have several Lodge pieces and they are all very important pieces in my kitchen.
I would like it to be a little bit larger and was also kind of hoping it would come with some basic cooking instructions. But, since I am fairly experienced with cast iron, I didn't have a hard time figuring out the best way to use this pan.
If anybody out there is thinking about getting it, or has already purchased this pan and has yet to master it, here is what I have come up with -
1) Preheat your oven (I use 450F for cornbread). THEN, put a small amount of butter (or whatever fat it is that you prefer) in the wedges and kind of brush it around so that it will coat both the sides and the bottom. Put the pan in the preheated oven to get it nice and hot.
2) Meanwhile, have your cornbread batter ready to go. I found that it takes about half of the recipe that I was using in an 8" square Pyrex previously. Take the pan out of the oven (I have one of those Lodge skillet handle potholders that works great). IMMEDIATELY, spoon the batter into the wedges. I have found (through trial & error) that filling each well to about 3/16" from the top works great. Get it right back in the oven. For me, 15-16 minutes baking time seemed to be about perfect.
As long as you heat up the pan and the fat that you use in the pan (I prefer a little tiny bit of butter in each well), it will cook evenly and nothing will stick to the pan. I mean, there isn't even residue in the corners or anything. The pan looked clean when I removed the cornbread. I did this several times with identical results.
One more hint for the day - If you want to additionally season the pan (I did this before the first time I used it), scrub it out and dry it VERY well. Place a thin coat of Crisco over every surface of the pan. Don't slather it on thickly, and be sure that the top surfaces don't have any excess (I gently run a paper towel over the top ridges of the pan). Preheat the oven to 400-425F. Put the pan in the oven upside down, so that there is less surface area on the oven rack, and leave it in the hot oven for at least an hour. Turn off the oven, leaving the pan inside to cool of its own accord. You will have a beautifully seasoned pan that doesn't have the residue that you get using oil.
