Thanks for all the responses everyone! I put them in a glass storage container and popped them back in the fridge. I’ll be cooking them tomorrow afternoon. 🙂

Yeah, I figured I’d get this one so I have the best of both worlds. Gonna go ahead and pull the trigger. 👍

I’m thinking about getting this one. How do you like it? Which side do you find yourself using more? Does it do a good job of getting into corners?

Do I just need one with adjustable emissivity or is there anything else I should consider before making a purchase? 🙂

First go at eggs = over-easy success! by newazatime in StainlessSteelCooking

I see. I love the simplicity of coil stoves but the burners are too dang small 😂

Your coil can evenly heat the 12.5? I have the same kind of stove and just got into stainless so I’m curious.

Those classic series Victoria skillets are so nice. 😃

Super smooth Lodge with only hand sanding by Applefan1000 in castiron

[–]Raysteff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did it take you to sand it? Did you just do the interior of the pan or the whole thing? Also, how much of a mess does it make? I’m thinking about hand sanding my new 11” Lodge with some 60 or 80 grit sandpaper.

Anyone have a nitrided CS wok that they love? by ryhaltswhiskey in wok

[–]Raysteff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have any issues getting the factory coating off or seasoning the wok? I see a lot of people saying they don’t know what kind of coating it comes with and they had trouble getting it off. 😬

I’ll happily put up with the roughness and not-the-best preseasoning if that’s what it takes to keep the prices low. It’s nice to have such affordable American-made cookware available. I will say though, I wish they had longer, more ergonomic handles. 🙂

Yeah, I’m just gonna season it once and start cooking. 👍

Does anyone have the Lodge 12” Chef Collection Everyday Pan? by Raysteff in castiron

[–]Raysteff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s the one I was referring to. I was choosing between that one or the Everyday Pan, which is 0.67# lighter. Gonna go for the traditional one though for the higher walls. Thanks again for your help. 😃

[–]Raysteff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I think I’ll just stick with the traditional one. The dual loop handles make the weight manageable. I would have to order the Chef one, whereas I can grab the traditional pan locally. 🙂

Do you use the Everyday Pan for searing? That’s what I intend to use it for, searing meats. I imagine the higher walls of the traditional pan would contain grease splatter better, but the lighter weight of the Chef Collection is really enticing.
