Lodge Deep Skillet with Glass Lid

This is a useful pan, especially for stir-frys.

The 5qt deep skillet, which is the same diameter as a Lodge 12" fry pan, where the lid meets the pan; when heated holds the heat like no other piece of cookware you've ever used.Before we became as health conscious as we are today, this pan was sold as a "chicken fryer".Indeed, someday, Im going to use this pan to fry some chicken or fish.Think of this pan as the pan that is taller than a skillet, but shorter than your dutch oven.

Lodge used to sell this with a cast iron lid (beter for braising, but the "look inside" feature of the glass lids is nice).

A major problem with making stir-fry at home is that residential stoves don't have put out enough heat energy (BTU's) to adequately heat a carbon steel wok enough to hit the stir-fry with enough heat to do the "fry" part of stir-fry.Instead the addition of each ingredient cools the temperature of the wok down to where it more steams the food instead of flash frying it.

When making a classic stir-fry, the addition of each batch of meat/fish/tofu and vegetables does little to cool off the blazing heat that this pan holds.(be sure to use your potholders)

Like all Lodge cast iron, it comes pre-seasoned, and needs to be stored absolutely dry.I lightly heat mine on a stove burner for a few minutes after washing to be absolutely sure.This pan will last so long, that you'll be handing it down to your children.

This was the widest deep cast iron skillet that I could find. I really like it. I am glad that I purchased it.

It's so nice to have such a flexible piece of cookware that I can use on my gas stove and induction cooktop.I can fry my chicken in it on the induction cooktop outside (we don't like to fry in the house), then clean out the oil and make an omelette or just about anything else on the stove.I love the glass lid I like to be able to watch my food cook.I don't have much space in my kitchen and was able to get rid of a smaller pan and larger pot after buying this.It's a winner!
