Beautiful heirloom cast iron skillet!
Beautiful cast iron skillet! Very well made with a very smooth surface. One of the main reasons why we bought this over Smithey or Finex is that its lighter than the other two, making it easier for both my wife and I to hold in one hand whilst cooking if needed. Made garlic butter steak bites as my first meal on this pan, and it turned out incredibly delicious! Next was fried eggs, and those were very good too; did not stick at all. I did use some more avocado oil and butter to fry the eggs. Very happy with this skillet!

Lancaster Cast Iron #10 skillet
When I was looking at cast iron skillets, I chose this because of the size and it is made in America. I compared this to the Smithey skillets because both of them are super high quality skillets. However, I opted for the Lancaster because I think the shape is more to my liking. I’m still eyeballing the Smithey pans but I wanted to try this one to see how I liked it first.It is smoother than a baby’s bottom, and I went ahead and preseasoned it in the oven like I do all of my cast iron. That’s not necessary but that’s my thing.First cook was fried taters with extra fat so they wouldn’t stick and they didn’t. I could have used a little more fat in the skillet though.Second cook was more spuds and I added enough fat to the pan to “float” the spuds and my eyes rolled into the back of my head; they turned out excellent. The booklet that comes with it recommends frying bell peppers and onion as a first cook, I believe. I’m working up to a porterhouse but haven’t gotten there yet. I’d rather get a good base seasoning in the skillet before I go to searing meat in it.I have a number of carbon steel pans but I’ve cooked in cast iron for years and in my opinion cast iron is my preference over carbon steel. It seem to not be as finicky as the carbon steel pans. I am 100 percent satisfied with my new Lancaster number 10 and you won’t go wrong with any of their pans.One of the other things that’s so nice about the Lancaster is that the heat ring on the bottom is at the outside of the bottom of the pan, and it gives it a much more even heat than if it were set in just a bit. I haven’t experienced any hot spots in it and I’ve checked it with an infrared thermometer. It heats evenly so you get a much nicer cook. Hope this helps. Bon Apetite

Good replacement for vintage Griswold.
I purchased this skillet to replace a beloved vintage Griswold #10 which suffered a fatal accident. I was very pleased with the Lancaster #10 skillet, as it arrived very well pre-seasoned and the surviving lid from my Griswold fits perfectly. I have used it about a dozen times on a variety of foods from salmon to eggs and bacon to grilled cheese and it performed just as well as my well-seasoned old Griswold. I would note that the Lancaster is slightly heavier (~1 lb.) than the Griswold and the Lancaster handle seems to get bit hotter. I plan to keep the Lancaster for a very long time and pass it on to my heirs.

Super smooth.
Absolutely the best cast iron pan I have purchased. It is super smooth and ready for cooking. Love it! It's now part of my every day pans, along with my grandparents old cast iron pans.
