I'm looking for a good 10" skillet for searing steaks but I'm a bit overwhelmed. What should I be looking for in a CI skillet? Is one brand better than the others? |

You're likely to get a lot of differing responses.....and yes there is a difference in cast iron. That said, a Lodge cast iron skillet will work just fine and it will get better with use. If you don't have a budget, you could go with Smithy!! I can't wait to have me a set of Smithy cast iron pans.....man they are beautiful. |

I’m getting ready to order up a Smithy or 2 - they are bad ass!! |

I'd be looking at carbon clad pans. Much better thermal characteristics than cast iron. :twocents: |

The new lodge ware is the Walmart of cast iron cookware, much better stuff out there made in the USA cast iron. As mentioned Smithy, Lancaster, FINEX, Field Company, Stargazer, these are all premium cookware, plus several more if you research cast iron. But if you go on EBay, or other on line sites you can find vintage lodge cookware that’s good, along with other brands not made anymore. I went down the rabbit hole over a year ago because my daughter brought home a bunch of it that needed reconditioned, but anyhow another thread on here covers some of that. https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,289899.0/all.html |
