high dollar cast iron

Here's an older Lodge that I just finished tonight.  Their quality has sure dropped through the years, but this one is a dandy.

i have a cast iron pan, and a glass top stove.  Every time i try to cook on it gets WAY TOO HOT.  what temperature setting should i set the stove top to?

Your not supposed to use it on a glass stove top.😉

I use mine on glass all the time with no problems, even one with a raised ring. Frazier, you'll just have to experiment to see what it does on your stove. Agree with Corey, 4-5 is pretty hot on mine.

I tried again last night with some tri tip.  Kept the temperature at 5 and it worked perfect.  thanks for the help!

WELL SHOOT!  thanks lol

I use mine on a glass stove top with no problems at all. Just set it to Medium/Medium Low and wait until it heats up. I have never had any issues and I use mine often. Of course you have to be cautions about slamming the pan down and what not.

This is what I do.

I also use mine on a glass top, almost every day.  I put in on medium heat, and wait for it to heat up...takes a few extra minutes, but its a nice even heat, and cooks very nicely.  Don't slam, rotate, or slide the pan and you will be fine.  My wife also uses a lot of Le'creuset dutch oven type pots and pans with great results, she just uses lower heat settings than normal and waits for them to heat up with a little oil or pam type spray in them so they aren't dry.

People are worried that the castiron will scratch the glass top. Make sure your cast dosen’t sharp edges and you”ll be fine.

Good info guys, thanks. Very timely as we are soon getting a glass top stove and were wondering whether our favorite cast iron pan with the metal ring on the bottom would work.

not cast iron, but I'm using a lodge 12" carbon steel skillet on a glass top and it seems to be working out pretty well

I use cast iron on our glass top all the time, and I've never noticed any related scratching.

But since I like the cast iron better than the stove I probably wouldn't notice anyway.

How are you guys using your small skillets? They seem to be the redheaded stepchildren of cast iron world.

Kind of crowded in this wagner #3 that I liberated recently.

On the small cast iron I've made flapjacks in them a few times.  Pour the batter into the small skillet then flip onto a bigger skillet or griddle to finish cooking the top, rinse repeat. 
Makes them all the same size and perfectly round. 

been a while since I done that but it was pretty quick.


If I had a bunch of small cast iron skillets I'd make a bunch of corn bread, seal-a-meal and freeze.  We do that with cupcake tins but those #8's would make a nice smaller size corn bread cake.

With all this talk about Cast. I went and dug around in some of my old elk cook ware and rummaged these out of the box.

A pair of Griswold 12 skillet's.

Nice, wish I had something bigger than a 9 when I'm doing my herb-crusted lingcod.
