User questions & answers

Question:	can you put this cast iron with silicon handle in the oven? if so, what is the max temperature
Answer:	I have put my cast iron pan in the oven along with the silicone handles, but I still had to use an oven mit. Each pan is different as far as what the max temperature allowed would be. I would look up the pan on Amazon and see what is said.
Question:	Can someone who bought this value pack (skillet with silicone handle) confirm if the silicone handle will comes off. Thank you
Answer:	Yes it comes off, I also found this nifty set on Amazon That comes with the assist handle cover, and extra main handle cover and some other pieces. Here's a link to what I'm talking about if you're interested.. http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Handle-Holders-Silicone-Pieces/dp/B010FGETAA/ref=sr_1_89?ie=UTF8&qid=1437189844&sr=8-89&keywords=cast+iron+skillet+handle+cover
Question:	what is the difference between this lodge pan LCS3 @ $25 and the lodge LK8S3 pan which is $15? Both are ten 1/2 inch pans look the same
Answer:	the LK8S3 is 12" diameter, has more a sharper "corner" where where the sides join the bottom, has more vertical sides, and is 2" deep. the LCS3 is 10" diameter, has sides that are angled outwards more, the sides join the bottom in more of a curve, and is 1.75" deep. basically, it much easier to slide an omelet (or anything else, I suppose) sideways out of the LCS3 without breaking.
Question:	Mine seems to be rusting. I just bought it. Should it have rust? It got worse after the first use and wash
Answer:	It sounds like you may have accidentally not cared for it correctly right at first. The nice thing about cast iron pans is that the rust problem can be fixed and it can be made just as good as new with a little elbow grease as long as you haven't let the corrosion go on long enough so that it causes pitting. What you'll need to do is remove the rust and any current seasoning with steel wool or something like that. When you remove the rust and seasoning, that is about the only time you might want to use soap along with the water, because the soap will help to remove the seasoning. You want to remove the current seasoning because you will be re-seasoning the entire pan and you don't want thicker parts of the seasoning or else the pan will become sticky or tacky in spots. Lodge seasons their pans with a canola oil spray. However, the best initial seasoning method I found stated to use Crisco (vegetable shortening). Their method worked extremely well for me. I don't remember the process to exacting details, but here it is to the best of my memory. First, heat the pan up by putting it in the oven at about your lowest oven setting of about 150F-200F for about a half hour or maybe a little more. This should make the pan pretty warm but not burning hot to the touch. Still take care in handling the hot pan to not burn yourself though. Before you start wiping the pan down with Crisco, turn the oven up to about 300F because the pan will go back in the oven. The first heating makes sure the pan is dry before applying seasoning and gets the pan just warm enough to spread Crisco over the pan and have the Crisco melt. Once the Crisco is spread all over the pan (inside and out) wipe it down some with a paper towel to keep the seasoning thin. You don't want too much seasoning on the pan. If the seasoning is too thick in spots it will get tacky at those spots. Place the pan back in the oven upside down with a sheet pan or sheet of aluminum foil underneath the pan to catch any oil drippings. After about 45 minutes, pull the pan back out and wipe the pan down again. You want to do this because the seasoning will drip downwards due to gravity and collect near the rim, etc. You want to wipe that excess off before it gets too dry and tacky. I can't remember if you sort of buff it at this point or at the end. I think you may want to buff it some with the paper towel at this point some. At the end it should have a somewhat dull black finish. But after you remove the excess, stick it back in for about another 20 minutes. Pull it out, buff it a little more if necessary and let it cool and the seasoning is done.At this point, your pan should be back to a nearly brand new state. My recommendation for the first few times you cook with it is to cook some chicken with the skin on or some bacon or something with some grease or fat to it. One of my grandmother's old cast iron pans stated "Chicken Fryer" on it. On one of my cast iron pans, the first couple of dishes I cooked in it was skin-on chicken. I used a little olive oil to cook the chicken in with the skin side down first. It was a chicken dish with olives, grapes and rosemary from the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. After you cook the chicken on the stovetop, then it goes into the oven for a bit. After cooking that dish a couple times on the stovetop then finishing it in the oven, it gave my cast iron pan an amazing finish that looked like my grandmother had been cooking with it for 60 years. I think that the chicken fat from chicken skin, especially when cooked in the oven does an amazing job of helping to season the pan beyond the initial seasoning.Now after you cook your first dish, what I do is let the pan cool down some. Then I wash it down with plain hot water and no soap. If anything gets stuck to the bottom of the pan, I use this little 3" x 3" chain mail scrub pad. It gets the gunk off without damaging the seasoning. It kind of surprised me with it being metal. I thought it would hurt the seasoning but it didn't at all and it got the burnt on black gunk off pretty well if you have any. After I rinse it with hot water, I then just dry it off. I don't oil mine down or anything after that. If oil is added after cleaning it can become a gummy sticky mess with too thick of a seasoning that becomes tacky. Not to mention you can get oil all over where you store it. Instead, you just want to make sure you store it in a dry place right after you dry clean it and dry it off.For example, I once let some of mine sit on the counter close to the sink too long and the bottom of the pans started rusting. But when I let them cool and clean them off, dry and store them in a dry place right after cooking, I've had no issues at all with rusting.I wouldn't say there was likely anything wrong with your pan. You just need to get use to cooking with cast iron. Also as an FYI, avoid cooking foods with a high acidity at first until the seasoning is somewhat well developed. Acid can tend to break down the seasoning.PS - You don't really need to put it back on the stove to evaporate any remaining water. I've tried that and you really don't need to do that to prevent it from rusting. In fact, I think there is more risk to it than to not doing it. That's because if you're not careful you can overcook the pan with nothing in it and then you burn and ruin the seasoning. You can tell if you've burned and ruined the seasoning by how it will change the color of the pan from that nice dull black finish to this off colored spot on it. Then you have to go back and re-season it all over again.

User questions & answers

Question:	Want to make gluten free pizza - recipes have you patting the dough into a pizza pan and then baking. Has anyone used cold and then in preheated oven
Answer:	I have the shirt pictured here. I've had it for a couple of months, and I've laundered it a few times. It's trash. I did an initial review of the shirt, then thought I was unfair and reversed myself-- and now I have a real verdict. This shirt is trash. It's shrunk vertically by three inches and hangs on me like a limp rag. It's definitely *not* on a Gildan teeshirt. The worst Gildan teeshirt is far superior to this rag...

Answer:	Good news we do have one :) If you check the additional pictures we've added a chart showing a more specific view then the generic one Amazon provides. Thank you for your interest in our tees!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this really only 4.2 oz? The other similar ones seem to weigh 11 - 12 oz
Answer:	According to my food scale, it is 10.8 oz. It measures 13" in diameter. It is very sturdy; I love it.
Question:	My frying pan is 12,5 inch . I am not sure if I should get the 13 or 15 inch platter screen? Any advice would be appreciated
Answer:	Either would work. If you think you might get a bigger pan someday go for the 15, but the 13 will work with your 12.5 pan. It doesn't matter if the screen is bigger than the pan.
Question:	Anyone know how to clean grease that has worked its way into the rim over time? Was great for a year now it smokes from hidden grease inside the rim
Answer:	Dear customer, At this point, it does need some heavy duty cleaning. Try soaking it in a soapy water for a while, running it though dishwasher (at the highest water temperature), applying extra effective detergent.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with interchangeable plates, like plates to make mini waffles? Some hotels that I stayed at, had waffle makers that made 4 mini waffles
Answer:	It's one big waffle that has baked perforations you can pull apart into 4 smaller waffles, if you have kids with small appetites or a dieter. Cooked excellent on #4 setting which made them a perfect golden brown. Look at the video directly underneath the item's picture. It is the last dot to the right. Click on it and play the short instructional video. Amazon is good about that. This item was top pick from Comsumer Reports. That is why I bought it and because it is the model a lot of hotels use in their complimentary breakfast room. Very durable. I also like the drop pan for spills. Make sure to follow the video and you will not have it running over. It makes a perfect no mess waffle as long as you use the cup that comes with it and quick guide and follow the directions on the waffle batter mix you use and do not over whip/mix. Only mix by hand also. I only needed to read over the quick guide once and read in 30 seconds. Real easy peasy. 😊
Question:	Our new waffle maker will only make lame blonde waffles. No crispy crust. We put it on setting six out of six. Are we doing something wrong
Answer:	I use diastatic malt powder in my batter to make really crunchy but soft inside waffles and also don't spray or butter the waffle maker
Question:	What is the purpose of flipping the waffles
Answer:	There is a purpose to flip the waffle even if you are only making one waffle. Pour batter on hot iron, close the iron and then flip. The rotation (flip) of the waffle iron causes the uncooked batter to disperse on the hot iron and cook evenly on the other side.
Question:	What diameter does it make the waffles
Answer:	6 3/4 inches

Product description

Wok pan -- the name of a deep pan with a round bottom of small diameter. The main purpose of the wok is to "stir-fry" -- fast frying with frequent stirring on a hot skillet, but in addition the wok pan can be used as vessel used for deep frying food in hot oil and for preparation of various soups. It can also be used as a steamer and even as a smoker. The steel wok is suitable for open fire, and you can even take it with you outside the home and surprise friends with unbelievable Chinese dishes. Always remember to season a carbon steel wok! Manuals for doing this can be found on the internet and with the wok as well. Round bottom: not suitable for flat electric or flat induction stove. Easy refund policy: if something is wrong please don't hestitate to contact us. This wok is a heavy wok: 4.6 pounds.

• Heavy 15 gauge (1.8mm) carbon steel, commercial grade. Original design by Craft Wok since 2014, proven quality over the years.
• Traditional chinese wok pan with round bottom: not suitable for flat electric or flat induction stove. Do not forget to season it before use! Instructions for easy seasoning are included with the wok. Our customer service is ready to guide through the process whenever you need it.
• Hand hammered by Chinese professionals in Guangzhou. This wok is the proven choice of many professional Chinese chefs. Wok weight: 4.6 pounds (2.1 kg). Heavy and sturdy.
• Steel helper handle will not burn when you stir fry over high heat, also helpful for hanging the wok for storage. Wooden handle has special hygroscopic not slippery surface for tight grip when you stir-fry.
• Craft Wok - Love Wok! We are a team of professionals drawn together by our passion for the carbon steel wok.

User questions & answers

Question:	Acids (tomato, vinegar, lemon) should be avoided when using carbon steel. but cooking w wok is quick. Can I cook w/ acids w this
Answer:	With well seasoned wok I have no trouble with tomatoes. I always care to wipe it clean and oil it while it is still warm. I really like this wok!
Question:	Can the wood handle be removed/unscrewed so that I can season it in an oven
Answer:	Dont remove handle screws. I think handle is a potential design flaw. Two small wood screws holding all that weight in a hot environment. My handle started to loosen day 1. Wood screws in wood cant be perpetually retightened. Eventually the soft wood holes arent going to be able to hols screws tight. Seeminly huge design flaw in an otherwise well-crafted wok. So I wouldnt intentionally remove/loosen the screws any more than I had to.
Question:	After seasoning the wok the wooden handle became loose. The screws only spin in place and don't actually tighten any more. Any suggestions
Answer:	Sometime it happens because of low air humidity (comparing to where it was made). Firstly, try to put wet towel onto wooden part of handle for a night. If not helps then the option is to unscrew it, put for example small pieces of paper to holes to tighten the connection. Then screw it again. Usually it works.
Question:	Has anyone found a kid for this
Answer:	All the kids I've tried so far, don't have big enough hands for this wok. And they keep complaining about "the burns" and "I want my daddy...blah blah blah...'

User questions & answers

Question:	Are there diff. sized aebleskiver pans? Are there 1/4 and 1/2 sized holes for making smaller or larger aebleskivers? I'm reading this the reviews
Answer:	I'm not sure about the white marks but I looked up the part about "whitish or grey spots" and they might be mineral (calcium) stains. I read some answers from using some lemon juice on the stains and/or a bit of dish soap and scrubbing the spots.Here is the link to the site I found. Hope it helps:http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/35629/white-stains-and-stainless-steel-cookware
Question:	does anyone know what oil was used by Norpro originally to season the cast iron
Answer:	I've had mine for over a month and have not oiled it. No sign of rust. I emailed the seller and he indicated it was stainless steel and wouldn't rust. I don't have any enamel coated stoneware so cannot answer as to whether it would scratch it. I have used it on glass pans without scratches. Hope this helps!
Question:	Is there a non stick coating? Or is it a seasoned cast iron through and through pan? Thank you
Answer:	search "made in"> you get 4 results> go to #2> "Made in North America"> see the countries lit up on the map> > so, to answer your question: God only knows where this product is made!> ANTIGUA & BERMUDA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC NICARAGUA BAHAMAS EL SALVADOR PANAMA BARBADOS GRENADA St. KITTS & NEVIS BELIZE GUATEMALA St. LUCIA BERMUDA HAITI St. VINCENT CANADA HONDURAS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COSTA RICA JAMAICA THE CARIBBEAN CUBA MEXICO GREENLAND
Question:	What is meant by "Removable bottoms for easy removal and cleaning"? Does this pan have removable parts, not clear or indicated in pictures. Thanks
Answer:	A quick note. To those who say NEVER use dish soap on cast iron: you don't know what you're talking about. That's an old wives tale. The process of seasoning cast iron produces a polymerized coating that is chemically bonded to the pan. A little dish soap and nylon bristle brush works just fine. I've been cleaning my cast iron that way for decades. The only thing you need to do is to make sure it is completely dry.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why isn't this dishwasher safe
Answer:	When I asked the web site - Gibson Home 109450.10 Eco-Friendly Hummington Aluminum Cookware Set Charcoal exteriors with Ceramic Non-Stick Interiors, White - was the only one it came up with afoa free - had jockey what pfoa meant - thanks!
Question:	Can this be used for no kneed bread cooked at 450 degrees
Answer:	This happened to me as well. First time I used it rust dripped into the simmering food and stained the enamel. I haven’t used it since.
Question:	Is the enamel used cadmium and lead free
Answer:	I have the 7 qt round. It is absolutely amazing. It cooks exactly like my $360 Le Creuset we got as a wedding gift. The fact that I paid $42 delivered same day as ordered makes everything taste even better. I have used it over a dozen times since receiving it and it cleans up like new. No chips, no damage and I toss it around and treat it like a $42 pot. I have used our Le Creuset only a couple of times in 15 years! I felt like I had to baby it out of fear of damaging it. In fact, we decided to make it a family heirloom - i.e. I won't use it again and will gift it to my daughter when she is married. She is thrilled! Of course, I had to let her believe that the Crockpot was nearly as expensive and the only reason I am keeping the Crockpot is because it is blue. The Le Creuset is red, her favorite color. I figure I'll deal with explaining my lie when the time comes. She's just a tween and has not yet fallen prey to the cynical capitalism that would have her checking prices on Amazon. Hell, maybe I'll be dead when she marries then I don't have to worry about the Crockpot lie (OR paying for her wedding!)
Question:	What country is this enameled cast iron 6-qt made
Answer:	The package insert says made in China.

Product features

Dynamic Use

The enameled cast iron dutch oven can be used for baking, boiling, braising, or roasting a wide range of favorite or newly inspired recipes.

For Cooking & Serving

This versatile pot moves seamlessly from the refrigerator to the stovetop or oven to the table for serving and single-dish cleanup.

Cast Iron Construction

Made with heavy-duty cast iron, the Dutch oven retains heat well and distributes it evenly when cooking on a stovetop, oven, or grill.

Additional Features

Includes looped handles and a removable lid. Avoid metal utensils and hand-wash in warm, soapy water for best results. Avoid citrus-based cleaners.

• Cast iron cookware is less smoother than the Non-Stick cookware.
• Iron deficiency is fairly common worldwide especially among women so cooking food in a cast iron skillet can increase iron content by as much as 20%
• Hand wash even before first use and dry immediately; rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after every wash
• Allow cast iron skillet to cool completely before washing them in hot soapy water with a sponge using regular dishwashing liquid soap; it is not dishwasher safe
• Its superior heat retention will keep your mouth watering food warm for a long time

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the skillet very sticky to cook? nothing like non-stick
Answer:	Surprisingly, no. This skillet is not sticky to cook. Not even cheese really sticks like in some pans, and the skillet cleans easier than I expected.
Question:	Is This Dishwasher Safe
Answer:	Hand wash with water. Never submerge cast iron or use a dishwasher.
Question:	where is this made
Answer:	The cast iron skillets made in China that are made for use in the USA have to meet specific FDA regulations. So grab them up quickly as the current administration in Washington DC is getting rid of a LOT of regulations for clean air, clean water, specific regs for cooking utensils made elsewhere. Otherwise get Griswold, Wagner, or Lodge pans all made here in the USA. Or you can go to yard sales, farm sales etc and find one made 75 years ago. But come on! How many great chefs do we have here? As a doctor I love the people who get upset about cast iron pans, then drink sugar sodas (probably #1 for obesity and heart disease) and all processed foods. Folks who go for gluten-free when the only people who need it are those with celiac disease...and so on. These Chinese made pans are cheap---that’s why we buy so much stuff made in China.
Question:	Does it protect against firearms
Answer:	This is actually a complicated answer that depends primarily energy dissipation. Cast iron's higher carbon content translates to a very stiff molecular structure of iron, carbon, silica, and impurities; which is physically very hard and has more ceramic / brittle characteristics than ductile metals. Cast iron won't bend; structural failure is driven by unpredictable and catastrophic crack propagation. Cast iron will shatter like a clay pot in a direct strike, but has a very high surface hardness, resilient to compression and superior at deflecting less-hard materials. If you bought 20 or so skillets and embedded them in a matrix of rubber and kevlar at varying surface normal angles, it would protect against smaller firearms. Need thicker plate for bigger rounds.

User questions & answers

Question:	can I stack the pots
Answer:	They are very hard to stack because of their lids. The lids do fit nice and tight on each pan BUT when you flip it upside down to have the handle out of the way, for a nice flat surface to stack, the lid slides off causing a tumble. We stack the pots and pans only (no lids) and place the lids on the side. It's not space friendly but they didn't compromise on these for storing ease..... Wish we could of had both
Question:	Why are mine yes-stick and black after the first use? I have been boiling them with dish washer to see if i can remove the stains with no luck at all
Answer:	The blackness is charred glazing from whatever your cooking. To prevent or minimize, heat the pan slowly with low heat and a little oil. For cleaning, Bar Keepers Friend is great. Other things you might have on hand are cream of tartar, and or vinegar. My personal favorite is using wine while the pan is still hot. Wine is an excellent deglazing tool, and depending on what you’re cooking can add flavor, if done while the food is still in the pan. Happy cooking!
Question:	Have any of you considered the multi-ply set from Cooks Standard and Tramontina? If so, what made you choose Cuisinart? I'm having trouble deciding
Answer:	UPDATE: Comparing Cuisinart, Tramontina and Cooks Standard triply clad stainless steel cookware. In checking further professional reviews, I realised that there were a couple of errors in the information in my original review, below. Tramontina is manufactured in both Brazil and China. The triply clad cookware is ALL triply clad stainless. Another model is their gourmet prima, which looks very similar, but has only the triply base. Tramontina tested out positively against both Cuisinart and Cooks Standard in three cases, and both its triply and prima models beat out Cuisinart altogether. Cooks Standard was not a contender in the latter review. The main selling point for Tramontina over Cuisinart and Cooks Standard is quality, design and efficiency. Cuisinart and Cooks Standard both have flared rims, making pouring better. Cooks Standard is thought to lack beauty. However Cuisinart’s handles are poorly designed, stay too hot and have a point which can cut into the hand. Tramontina triply only offers the flared rims on its skillets. Their Prima model offers it throughout. Regardless of that drawback, Tramontina is consitldered a superior product in the three areas tested. In view of these clarifications and additional information, I have since decided to purchase the Tramontina cookware, over the Cuisinart. I do apologize for the original review errors, and hope that this additional information is as helpful to other buyers as it has been for me! baj
Question:	Will it work on induction cooktops
Answer:	Stainless, cast iron and enameled cookware generally ok. Some cladded pans as well. Goodwill got all my old aluminium. Be cautious of sizes of the bottom of the pan. My LG induction top has three sizes and too big or too small just will not turn burner on. Perhaps as it should be, I guess. But check your cooktop's manual for any word on pan sizes.
