The skillet is incredibly beautiful. The seasoning wasn't great upon arrival, but I don't bother worrying about the factory seasoning on a skillet I plan on building on. It's not quite as smooth as I was hoping, as the grooves from the milling process are noticeable, but fortunately not problematic, as seasoning builds easier than other, smoother skillets I've tried. The biggest problem I have with the skillet, and the reason it doesn't get a five star rating, is the handle. I understand that their goal was to keep the skillet as traditional as possible, but traditional handles are not desirable, in my opinion. It's too short for a comfortable grip, and it gets hot enough to require an oven mitt. Also, there is no "helper handle" as would be helpful with the short ... MoreThe skillet is incredibly beautiful.

Just an invaluable piece of my kitchen arsenal that I am fortunate to have.

Beautiful pan that is a perfect replica of early 1900’s Wagner, WAPAC etc. No modern design, true statement to old vintage cast iron. Very light and great texturings fir seasoning to hold. The outside finish where the cast is grind off is not on par with competition (Field, Smithey, Butter Pat, Finex). At this price the finish should be spotless like others. Still very happy of this pan, I will use it the most because of the light weight.

The pan is beautiful. It feels great and the workmanship is evident. The cooking surface compares with my Griswolds. I use my CI to cook and bake most everything. I regularly use vintage Griswolds, a modern Lodge and enameled Le Creuset. I just baked a cornbread in a pan that predates 1900. The two that live on my stove are 70 and 90 years old. This pan will be added to the rotation. I have my own method of seasoning that I won't do in the middle of summer. I expect it to perform very well once I start cooking with it and it should perform just as well for my grandchildren 100 years from now if it's taken care of.

I have used cast iron for well over 45 years and find Lancaster skillets to be as good as cast iron gets. Most of my cast iron is older, although I still purchase new stuff every year.There have been a number of startup cast iron cookware companies in recent years, and I have purchased something from most of them.There really isn't much to say that hasn't already been said by others, but there are a couple of items I will mention. These skillets are as light as any vintage cast iron, and lighter than any of the newer skillets currently on the market that I have purchased. This is of course a huge plus for many people. The inside finish speaks for itself.One thing on the skillet I received that I will note, is about the heat ring on the bottom.

These skillets are as light as any vintage cast iron, and lighter than any of the newer skillets currently on the market that I have purchased. This is of course a huge plus for many people. The inside finish speaks for itself.One thing on the skillet I received that I will note, is about the heat ring on the bottom. My casting didn't fill out all the way around, so the ring is thinner in one area, although the depth is OK. This has nothing to do with the integrity of the skillet, it is purely cosmetic. The same is true in one small area of the lip. Again, this is purely cosmetic.The best thing about the Lancaster skillet that really stands out to me is the depth of the sides, making the skillet deeper than most, and the steep angle of the sides, maybe only 10 degrees from a 90 degree vertical. These attributes make these skillets much better for frying larger items like chicken than most other skillets. The depth allows food to remain below the top of the lip for deep frying. That way the pieces can be submerged in the oil at least half way while cooking. The steeper sides also help by keeping the oil from spreading out as pieces are added. When the sides flair out too much and say an inch of oil is put in the skillet, as the pieces to be cooked are added the oil is displaced but the depth of the oil doesn't increase in proportion to the displacement due to the sides allowing the oil spread out instead of getting deeper. This may not sound like a big deal, but it really is. That is why many vintage cast iron companies made cast iron specifically for frying chicken, with deep, nearly straight sides.Lancaster has reached a fine and dandy compromise, an everyday skillet that is actually far lighter and more versatile than most others currently on the market. Well done. Good show.I brought my Lancaster with me to Canada for work since I will be in country for several months and I've been in too many outfitted apartments or staff houses that had really bad cookware. I wanted to make sure I had at least something I could use no matter what kind of range was available or even if I had to cook on an open fire. Lancaster is light enough to travel with.
There is a few things that I like about the skillet, but there were others that disappointed me. I like how incredible light weight is the skillet, food stuck a little bit, but that was in my first cook. The company logo is very appealing and beautiful, and the skillet is very smooth in the interior and exterior. What really disappoint it me was that the part where the skillet is attached to the mold, it was not professionally grin down, it looks terrible and it have two big lumps. It looks that the person who did the grinding was not experience at all. Customer service was excellent, Rachel was very professional at all time. Lancaster offered a full refund, but I decided to keep the skillet. Thank you!
I own all the usual suspects (Griswolds and the newer premium iron) — my favorite is a 100-year old Erie. I happened to see a YouTube video of a Lancaster and an Erie side by side — I jumped out of bed and ordered one on the spot. That is not a lie. When I lifted my new Lancaster skillet out of the box, it actually exceeded my expectations. — it is SO GREAT to see people just try to make the best product they can without reinventing the wheel. Everything about this pan looks and feels classic. The weight is just right. The iron is smooth — and the handle is perfect. This whole pan is perfect — I can’t imagine picking a single flaw in it. I put three other pans in storage after making room for the Lancaster.own all the usual suspects (Griswolds and the newer ... MoreI own all the usual suspects (Griswolds and the newer premium iron) — my favorite is a 100-year old Erie.

I am not normally someone who takes the time to write a review, but I want Lancaster Cast Iron to succeed and prosper because they got it right. I am one of those guys who has a lot of skillets both vintage and modern. My wife considers it a mental illness. In the last ten years there has been a renaissance of cast iron. I am not sure what spawned this renaissance after so many decades or dormancy, but it has been exciting to participate in. My point is that I have tried most of the modern entries, Butter Pat, Field Company, Finex, Lodge-Blacklock, Marquette, Nest, Smithey, and Stargazer. Now I have to say that I think that all of these manufacturers make good products and I use some of these pans for specific tasks. For instance, Finex makes a beast of a skillet ... MoreI am not normally someone who takes the time to write a review, but I want Lancaster Cast Iron to succeed and prosper because they got it right.

Now I have to say that I think that all of these manufacturers make good products and I use some of these pans for specific tasks. For instance, Finex makes a beast of a skillet that is great for putting in the oven and soaking up heat to pull out and sear a steak, but I don’t fry eggs or make cornbread with it.The highest compliment I can pay the Lancaster Cast Iron skillet is that if I were to purchase one skillet, and one skillet only to give to a friend or one of my children as a gift, I would give them a Lancaster and here is why:I want the person who I give this skillet to as a gift to have a good first experience with it. Many modern skillets require some cast iron knowledge, time and patience to get them to the point where they become good cooking tools. I pulled my Lancaster skillet out of the box and made cornbread without doing a thing to it. The cornbread released perfectly the very first time. Excellent surface and factory seasoning.I want my cast iron gift to be a pleasure to use. The Lancaster skillet is very light for a cast iron skillet. The lightest of any of the modern skillets. Not everybody has strong hands and arms. Also, most of the modern world is used to light pans, so when you hand them their first cast iron skillet, they are less than pleased with the idea of using it. Hand them a Lancaster skillet and this will not be the case.I want my cast iron gift to be versatile and capable of being used for whatever. I love the high walls, pour spouts and classic design of this skillet. I would reach for it for baking or frying. It is just a great all-around use skillet. My youngest daughter loves over-easy eggs in the morning and this skillet heats up so fast and releases eggs like a dream right out of the gate. It takes months to achieve that release with some of the other modern skillets. That is what you want for anyone who is using cast iron for the first time. A great experience. Otherwise it will end up in the back or some cupboard and never realize its glorious potential.For those who already love and have a history with cast iron, I would still give them a Lancaster. They would love the classic design of this skillet. Now I in no way mean this as a criticism. While the cooking surface if perfect, my skillet has what I like to call some cast character like the old pans when it comes to the company logo on the bottom of the pan, and I love that. It just looks like a cast iron pan should. This will appeal to cast iron veterans.You can't go wrong with a Lancaster. If you are thinking of trying cast iron for the first time. If you want to give the gift of cast iron. Or if you are a long-time fan of cast iron. Get a Lancaster. You will not be disappointed. I wish you guys great success. Well done. Bravo.
As my kitchen is VERY small, every kitchen tool must work very hard. I have no room for stacks of pots, pans, and what all.Missing my cast iron pan of several years ago I researched cast iron companies and various pans. I did not know of Lancaster pans but the site and reviews won me over-- despite the rather hefty price. Worth it!I am thrilled to use this pan! Heat distribution, lightweight, glassy bottom, already seasoned. Foods cook beautifully: eggs, meatballs. My go to pan workhorse from here on out. I will try cornbread next. I also got the seasoning paste and the leather handle cover. Food cooks beautifully in this pan!
When I ordered my Lancaster Cast Iron skillet, I was saddened to learn that it would take three to six weeks to get it in. I was anxious to try it as I had heard good things already about it. This week, it finally came (about 4 weeks after my initial order). There was a hand written note in the packaging, and I was "welcomed to the Lancaster family". The first thing I noticed when I pulled the pan out of the box was it's ease in handling. WOW! It was light weight, and I can't say I wasn't a little concerned about how fast it would heat up and how difficult it might be to regulate the temperature. This turned out to be not true at all. I scrambled some eggs in it, then quickly cleaned it and made milk gravy immediately afterwards. The temperature was easily regulated ... MoreWhen I ordered my Lancaster Cast Iron skillet, I was saddened to learn that it would take three to six weeks to get it in.

This evening, I plan to give it a test run with cornbread. I'm not a rookie to cast iron, I'm a collector and my Lancaster makes pan #42 in my kitchen chronologically, but it will surely be in my top three of pans that I use every day. The Lancaster joins a family with Lodges, Fields, and Stargazers along with some no name legacy pans that previously belonged to my great and grand grandmothers. I'm hopeful that someday soon Lancaster makes pans of different sizes.Another great benefit I noticed was that the handle did not heat up as quickly as other skillets do - I of course exercised caution to prevent burning, but the handle remained manageable through the cooking process.
I have used and seasoned many old pans, so a bran new pan thought I would fallow the makers directions with one exception we added 1 stove top seasoning and two oven with Buzzywaxx. We made veggies 7-8 days, then made a corn bread from your recipe listed made now it three time my wife's new favorite and my daughter loves it also baked pizza, chocolate cake and a few proteins This pan hold seasoning well and is becoming my go to pan. From low and slow to baking heat is quickly radiant all over the pan. Light weight with that old world feel of Griswold the only pan I own that works this well to bad it's a #6. I will be buying a second for sure, sits flat on my glass top stovethe quality and feel are exceptional. customer service perfectly done ship out when they said, ... MoreI have used and seasoned many old pans, so a bran new pan thought I would fallow the makers directions with one exception we added 1 stove top seasoning and two oven with Buzzywaxx.
