Gorgeous skillet
I had considered this before when the price was 110 but it seemed a bit pricey (and I can pinch a penny), when they lowered the price to 55 it is a clear absolute buy! I do not go in for name brands at all, I research and buy quality. For example I found the pans that are heavily marketed by a certain celebrity chef, and bought one that existed before his collaboration and actually better quality (search for hybrid or honeycomb pans). The same with this enameled cast iron. I looked at the typical French pans, but this matches the quality yet offers more color choices (and the yellow is amazing in person) and is a 1/3 the price.The 27cm skillet is the perfect size for just about everything. I put some oil in the pan and cooked eggs just to test the pan (normally I use the hyprid pan for eggs but wanted to see how it would go). You have to make sure your pan is to temp and use oil, but the pan performed just fine (still prefer the hybrid for eggs). But for cooking anything else (steaks, chicken, beef and brocoli, sauces) This is the go to pan! It can do stir fry, but the edges are to shallow and you get spatter, but the actual cooking performance is excellent.Clean up using hot water and soap (yes, you can use soap it is enameled so no problem about having to re-season) Do not use an abrasive to clean, just soak in the event you do have something sticking. I was concerned at first with the lower price maybe the cooking surface was made out of a teflon material (There is a popular cast Iron that on this site that has a teflon style coating) Which I do not want teflon for anything but eggs and acidic foods. The seller responded asap that it is indeed enamel cooking surface as well.You Can not go wrong with this, it cooks very well, and it just looks amazing.

Great quality and value
Wasn't sure what to expect at this price point since other enameled cast iron cookware is double the price but Larder and Vine did not fail to deliver the goods. Beautiful color choices with a solid well made product. Fast shipping from amazon got this pan in my hands quickly and I was off to the races making some scrumptious hash. The cook surface is durable and basically non-stick and the pan doesn't need any seasoning. So far very impressed.

Game changer with cooking
This skillet is definitely a game changer for me. I made a breakfast frittata and it was amazing. Very quick and easy to make and absolutely delicious. The skillet allows the heat to go all the way thru and cooks the insides just perfect. Clean up was just as easy. I use soap and water and let the pan dry. Very very easy!! I LOVE my skillet.

NOT non stick
When I received the pan it was not the color I ordered. It was actually Bondi while I ordered Okra. I thought “oh well I can deal”. I followed the first wash instructions to the letter before using it. I found the non stick surface to be very rough but thought maybe that was normal for an enameled cast iron with non stick coating. Upon first use, I cooked some green beans on Medium heat with a little olive oil for about 8 mins stirring often. They began sticking immediately and I had a very difficult time. I lowered the heat and did my best to finish. After the pan was completely cool. I soaked it overnight in water and Dawn dish soap. By morning the surface of the pan was almost impossible to clean. Without using anything abrasive I cleaned and cleaned. I even tried the recommended baking soda paste. No luck. I have begun a return as a result. I’m really disappointed as it was the perfect size too. I gave two stars cause it is actually attractive. Back to the drawing board for the perfect pan
