Lodge Signature SS12CS Covered Casserole, Black, 3.5-Quart

Everything about this casserole delivers. But I want to warn the future buyers that when cooking on my electric range, the handles do get very hot---probably not enough to burn since you will pull your hands off fast, but definitely not comfortable to hold bare-handed for longer than a second. This is not what I was led to think when I bought it.

Well, it isn't a big problem for me anyway since I have other lodge products that have cast iron handles. (Big Lodge fan here!) But don't learn this fact the hard way...

Got this as a gift for my daughter.We both have and use Lodge cookware and love it.You can cook foods evenly over a lower heat than normally required in other cookware and this skillet and lid can go in the oven.Best success with Lodge is to pre-heat your skillet for 4-10minutes on low heat then add your food. It TRULY does clean up with hot water and a paper towel.

I am not going to go into detail of all the pros and cons of this pan. I think they are well listed by the other reviewers however, if you are looking for this pan and wondering why the price has jumped drastically, it is because Lodge has temporarily discontinued the "L" Series (enameled cast iron) and the "Signature" Series (cast iron with stainless accents). You will not find these again till they re-introduce them with new look and design tentatively late 2013. So if you love the signature series buy them while you can or wait till they come back. I personally dont recommend the "L" series over the "Color" series which is not being discontinued but if you really wanted an "L" series get it while you can.
