User questions & answers

Question:	Why is the red so much more than the blue
Answer:	My best guess is that it comes down to popularity. Red glazes also "pop" more that many other colors, making a smooth finish potentially slightly more difficult to achieve.
Question:	are enamel pots and their lid oven proof and what is max temperature
Answer:	They are oven proof. Not sure about max temp but I have put them in a 450 degree oven without any problems.
Question:	is weight really 16lbs as stated in product details
Answer:	LoL.....it's not quite 16 lbs. however it is heavy. I appreciate the weight of the cast iron and the quality of the product. I own all their (Lodge) enameled cast iron pieces and it's admired by even my mom who owns the other very expensive enameled cast iron.
Question:	Where is it made USA or China
Answer:	Just received (5/20/2020) the Lodge 3.6 qt. Casserole made in China.

User questions & answers

Question:	what weight is the pan
Answer:	Hello, the weight of the pan is approx 11 lbs
Question:	How do you season cast iron ? What temp an for how long
Answer:	Seaoning cast iron requires a chemical reaction.Seasoning is really not the correct term. I prefer coating with a non stick finish because the "seasoning does not affect the cast iron. How To Season Your Cast-Iron Skillet: Scrub skillet well in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Spread a thin layer of melted shortening or vegetable oil over the skillet. Place it upside down on a middle oven rack at at least 450 degrees. Most oils need this heat to start the chemical reaction to cling to the cast iron. (Place foil on a lower rack to catch drips.) Bake 1 hour; let cool in the oven. Repeat 2 0r 3 times until the pan is a s slippery as ice.
Question:	Rusted inmediately. what am i suppose to do? the deep pan is heavily rusted even though the frying pan is perfectly fine. i followed all instructions
Answer:	Copied directly from their product information on Amazon Use & Care While the skillet comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After cooking, we recommend cleaning with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap or the dishwasher is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used. Towel dry immediately cleaning and apply a light coating of oil to utensil while it is still warm. But because it's already damaged through this barely acceptable "pre-seasoned" layer. After you get your skillet back to a smooth surface, Fry some chicken in it or use Crisco or lard when you first cook in it as the fats will bind with the iron as it heats. Don't use too high of a heat until you have reseasoned it well. I use a rough steel wool for removing food or a green scrubby if I don't think it's too bad. Yes I have used soap but very little and never soak it for more than a hour. I always follow up cleaning my skillets by heating them at a medium heat on the burner then use a generous amount of Olive oil then put it in my oven upside down to cool.
Question:	can you tell me where this is made? thanks
Answer:	This is not manufactured in Tennessee. Lodge is manufactured in Tennessee. I know of two other cast iron cookware manufacturers in the United States. They both extremely nice, they are pricey. American Skillet Company is in the process of making state shaped pans (7 so far). The other American company is Finex (the skillets are gorgeous and high quality. This brand is made in China.

Question:	Is the 5 qt braiser number

Question:	I have a family of four. Is this a good size
Answer:	It seems to be about 9 1/2 inches in diameter. I love the pan. Very heavy and very useful in oven or top of stove
Question:	Does anyone own both the 3.5qt and the 5qt braiser? I'm torn on what size to get...I have a 4qt round and a 9.5qt oval for other jobs. Family of
Answer:	Heating is very similar to regular cast iron. It gets hot and holds heat well. The enameling means it doesn't need to be seasoned (except maybe rubbing a little oil around the rim edge, which is exposed and not enamel-covered}. It is also more non-stick, rust-proof, even heating and can be deglazed very easily, and in general, is easy to clean. You can also cook acids without it affecting the pan. Be careful not to bang it too much with metal utensils, as it will chip the useful and attractive enamel, however if it does chip, it has no affect on cooking, as it is just regular cast iron underneath. Regular cast iron can be used on outdoor grills and over campfires (open flames), but not recommended with enameled. Also in the case of this pan, it can also be covered to work as a dutch oven, though not as deep, more like a skillet version.

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron Braiser

The enameled cast iron braiser is uniquely designed for maximum performance, transforming tough cuts of meat and hearty vegetables into tender, flavorful dishes. Food is first seared over high heat, then finished slowly in a flavorful liquid. The wide base of the braiser allows ingredients to be placed in a single layer for proper searing; once liquid is added, the domed lid continuously circulates steam to lock in moisture and flavor.

Cooking with cast iron

Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing.

Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.

Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation.

Heat recommendations

Le Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources including gas, electric solid plate or radiant ring, vitro-ceramic glass, induction, and ovens fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. When using any glass-topped stove, always lift the pan when moving it; never slide it, as this may damage the stovetop or the base of the pan.

Always match the pan’s base size to the stovetop heat zone to maximize efficiency, and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles.

Gas flames must always be confined to the base area, and must never extend around the sidewalls of the pan. Long handles should be positioned safely where they do not hang over the front of the stove or other heat zones.

Cleaning and Care

Always cool a hot pan for a few minutes before washing.

Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water. While Le Creuset’s enamel is designed to be the most durable on the market, thermal shock may still occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel.

If there are food residues, fill the pan with warm water and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. A brush can be useful for removing small food deposits, or for cleaning between the ribs on grills. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface. To avoid damaging the enamel, do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive cleaning agents.

Light stains or metal marks caused by metal tools can be removed with Le Creuset cookware cleaner. An occasional cleaning with this product will also retain the new appearance of your pans. Le Creuset enameled cast iron is extremely durable but it may be damaged if accidentally dropped or knocked against a hard surface.

Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Skillet

The black patina given to the cookware by the factory seasoning process is, in fact, vegetable oil that has been baked into a piece of cookware that has emerged from an individual sand mold. This coating of oil is a functional application and not a cosmetic application. The cookware is hanging as it rides through the electrostatic sprayer and commercial conveyor ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron which creates an easy release finish. As a result of this process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. If visible, it will rub or flake off with your finger, leaving a brown spot. Don’t worry, it’s not rust but a seasoned spot that is brown, indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning. As a matter of fact, this is the color of home seasoned iron until it has been used several times. The brown spot will turn black with use.

Product Highlights

The right tool for searing, sauteing, simmering, braising, baking, roasting, and frying.

Made of Cast-Iron

Cast-Iron is a form of cookware developed over a millennia ago remains as popular today as when it was used to prepare meals hundreds of years ago. Cast Iron is one of only two metals compatible with induction stovetops. Unparalleled in heat retention and even heating.

Can Be Used With A Variety of Heat Sources

At home in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or over the campfire. Skillet may be used on various heat sources including gas, electric, induction and ceramic-glass top stoves and ovens. When using on glass stove tops, be careful not to slide the cookware around as it's possible to scratch the surface. Seasoned cast iron can also be used on the grill or outdoor fire and coals for camp cooking. Begin heating cookware on low and slowly bring heat up to medium or medium/high. Always remove cookware from the stovetop after cooking.

Eco-Responsibility

Lodge is a zero hazardous waste stream foundry. Lodge designed a vegetable oil recycler for the seasoning process to reduce waste and unusable oil is recycled and used as biodiesel generator. Lodge uses recycled and biodegradable packing materials. Reuse of foundry sand used in the casting process is recycled and unusable sand, works to purify the water of the local streams and planting trees to improve air quality and beautification.

The Clean Water and Air Acts of 1970 led American companies to install new equipment to meet the pollution control laws. Not only did the updates meet the requirements of the Clean Air and Water legislation, by 1976 our automated processes produced as many molds in an hour as one man’s daily productivity 30 years earlier.

With the switch from antiquated electric furnaces to more efficient induction furnaces, 1991 proved to be a pivotal juncture in the green standards of Lodge Manufacturing Company. The use of magnetic energy to produce heat changed our status from a Large Quantity Generator of Hazardous Waste to a Small Quantity Generator, and we received the 1994 Tennessee Governor’s Award for Excellence in Hazardous Waste Reduction.

100 years & still cooking. ..

Lodge is the oldest family-owned cookware foundry in America. Since 1896, the Lodge family has been casting premium iron cookware at our Tennessee foundry. Starting with raw materials and finishing with our seasoning process, we continue to improve on the highest quality standards that go into every piece we make. As the sole American manufacturer of cast iron cookware, we are proud to carry on the legacy started by founder Joseph Lodge. Lodge doesn't just make cast iron; we make heirlooms that bring people together for generations.

Two historic events—the introduction of foundry seasoned cast iron cookware and the recent expansion of our foundry—represent dynamic examples of Lodge Manufacturing Company’s century-plus commitment to product innovation and investment in new equipment and technologies.

Seasoned cast iron propelled Lodge from the position of a regional manufacturer to the national stage, with Good Housekeeping presenting a 'Good Buy' Award for the product enhancement. Our appearance on the national stage expanded throughout the first decade of the new century, with record sales leading Lodge to the largest expansion in our history.

While we are proud of our recent history, there is a backstory. So travel with us to the small town of South Pittsburg, Tennessee at the end of the 19th Century. Nestled at the base of the Appalachian Mountain’s Cumberland Plateau and on the banks of the Tennessee River, the town was abuzz with new opportunities.

In 1896 Joseph Lodge began a cast iron foundry, named in honor of his minister, Rev. Joseph Hayden Blacklock. Family owned, our origins were humble and our products varied, from stoves, to skillets and kitchen sinks.

As each decade passed, Lodge developed a business model to continually update and improve equipment and foundry practices. Work was labor intensive, with all of our cookware poured and cleaned by hand.

The 1950s saw the installation new molding machinery, mechanized sand delivery systems, the construction of a gas fired aluminum furnace to cast patterns for the production of sand mold impressions and a machine to clean castings.

When the introduction of new cookware metals and coatings increased competition in the 1960s, Lodge countered with a Disamatic automatic molding machine. Two years later, Lodge added an electric furnace to operate the Disamatic molding and pouring system, outpacing the capacity of the coke-fired cupola, at lower cost.

After in the introduction of seasoned cast iron cookware, Lodge broke ground for our foundry expansion. With completion of the first phase in the fall of 2014, the expansion includes a new melt system, an additional pouring/molding line and most importantly—new American jobs!

In more ways than he could have ever imagined, Joseph Lodge would not recognize the business he started over a century ago. Lodge continues to be family owned and we are the sole manufacturer of cast iron cookware in US, producing over 120 different foundry seasoned cast iron items for worldwide gourmet, outdoor and restaurant markets.

More importantly, Lodge Manufacturing Company is universally accepted as the world leader in the cast iron cookware category.

This 7-quart enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. The cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds then coated with multiple porcelain layers. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron creating a smooth, hard surface that is easy to clean while maintaining superior heat distribution and heat retention. Better heat retention will actually reduce the amount of energy needed for cooking so it saves money. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. Stainless steel knob is oven safe to 500-Degree Fahrenheit. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. The black rim on the pot is matte enamel, not exposed cast iron. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance.

It is not to be used in microwave ovens, outdoor grills, or over campfires. Bake or broil in any conventional or convection oven.

Question:	Country of origin
Answer:	I believe China. It is very, heavy.
Question:	Is this made in the US
Answer:	Iron products produced in China are of poor quality as compared to U.S. products. They tend to crack when exposed to high oven heats. I would recommend U.S. made products. You get exactly what you pay for on cast iron products.

Product description

The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. Now lodge has added a new line of seasoned steel skillets. This handy 12-inch seasoned steel skillet is the only pre-seasoned and ready to use out of the box steel pan in the market place right now. Each skillet is pre-seasoned with natural soy bean oil. Maintains very low and very high temperatures, making the pan a highly effective and versatile cooking piece. It performs well in residential and professional kitchens as well as outdoors. Made of 12 gauge carbon steel. Steel is a high density metal that does not retain odors. If maintained correctly, it will last a lifetime. Thickness of the cooking surface allows the pan to heat up quickly but also retain the heat needed for even cooking. The handle angle is conducive for both stove top and oven cooking. Each handle is attached to the skillet with 3 secure rivets. As a result of the pre-seasoning process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. The cookware is hanging as it rides through the electrostatic sprayer and commercial conveyer ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the cookware which creates an easy release finish. If visible, it will rub or flake off with your finger, leaving a brown spot. Don’t worry, it’s not rust but a seasoned spot that is brown, indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning. The brown spot will turn black with use. Made in the USA.

• Takes high heat for best browning/searing
• 12 gauge carbon steel heats quickly and retains heat for even cooking
• Brutally tough for decades of cooking. Steel riveted handle
• Use on gas, electric, induction stovetops, outdoor grills or open fire
• Refer user guide below before using the product .Made in the USA
• Seasoned with oil for a natural, easy-release finish that improves with use
• Easy care: hand wash, dry immediately, rub with cooking oil

User questions & answers

Question:	why is this black vs DeBuyer's which is silver? both say carbon steel. thanks
Answer:	I don't know but I suspect the DeBuyer's pan is made from the kind of steel that a steel griddle is made of. The Lodge pan has a very slight dimpling to the steel and it is black and looks very much like a cast iron pan but the metal is much thinner. I have been very happy with my pan. It easily cooks delicate foods like fried fish. I suspect the DeBuyer's pan would also.
Question:	what is the difference between this pan that is carbon steel and a regular lodge cast iron? can i use this pan in the oven like a cast iron
Answer:	Luis,There are a number of differences. First, the pan is much lighter, as the thickness of the steel is much less than cast iron. This also means that it has less "heat inertia." It heats up more quickly and evenly, and cools down faster when removed from heat, giving you much better control of the cooking process. It is very sturdy. An advantage it has over stainless steel (besides being cheaper) is that, like cast iron, you can use it at very high heat without damaging it. This makes it perfect for high temperature searing. These are the only pans I use for searing meat and fish and then finishing in the oven (yes, perfectly oven safe). As they are pre-seasoned, they start with a stick-resistance, and if used properly and NEVER cleaned with soap, they becoming surprisingly "non-stick". I sear at very high heat (you do need some oil), and all I need to do is run hot water over it, wipe it out, and maybe rub a little oil in using a paper towel.
Question:	Looking for a dedicated non-teflon egg pan. Should I go with this or cast iron
Answer:	I have the 12" version of this pan and use it for 4 eggs over easy at least five days a week. However, there is a learning curve with this pan and you will need to spend some time properly seasoning it and maintaining that seasoning it. When I first started using it I cursed it every morning but forced myself to adjust to it as I was coming from a nice Teflon pan. That said, for the value cast iron will also be terrific and honestly is a little more forgiving ( just remember to keep the heat on both pans a lot lower than you are properly used to and let them preheat: I go about 2 min. On medium and then reduce to just a hair under medium low on my gas range for another 2 minutes before adding butter and then frying the eggs). The 12 inch version is a must if if you are cooking for more than one. I also use it for scrambled eggs and omelets for which it now does a good job after having been seasoned well beyond what comes from the factory.
Question:	How wide are the pans across the flat part inside of the pan were you cook? Not the width across the top. 8",10" & 12" pan measurements if possible
Answer:	9.25 inches on a 12" pan.

Lodge Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Skillet

The Carbon Steel Skillet is perfect for professional, home or camp use. And like our cast iron cookware, these pans are pre-seasoned and ready to use.

Lodge Carbon Steel Skillets are factory seasoned with natural soy bean oil. This easy release oil finish improves with use. The heavy gauge carbon steel maintains very low and very high temperatures, making the pan a highly effective and versatile cooking piece. It's brutally tough and takes high heat for browning and searing. Carbon steel performs exceptionally well in residential kitchens and is actually preferred in professional kitchens. Lodge Carbon Steel skillets also work extremely well with outdoor cooking sources.

Made of 12 gauge carbon steel which is a high density metal with excellent heating properties allowing the pan to heat up quickly but also retains the heat needed for even cooking. The handle angle is conducive for both stovetop and oven cooking allowing a comfortable grip yet still fits inside most ovens. If maintained correctly, it will last a lifetime.

Product Highlights

The right tool for searing, sauteing, simmering, braising, baking, roasting, and frying.

Heavy duty 12 gauge and carbon steel is preferred in professional kitchens for the best browning and searing. The cooking surface only gets better with use as it acquires natural non-stick properties.

The surface is safe to use with metal objects, such as knives, forks and spatulas. Made of 12 gauge carbon steel. Three steel rivets hold handle securely.

Can Be Used With A Variety of Heat Sources

The steel pans can withstand and maintain very high temperatures, such as professional gas ranges and campfires, making them great for searing. They work exceedingly well with electric and induction cooktops too. In fact, they work on all heat sources except microwave ovens. The steel pans also maintain very low temperatures, making them highly effective and versatile.

Pre-Seasoned for a natural, easy-release finish

Oil is baked into the pores of the steel at the Foundry to prevent rusting and to eventually provide a natural, non-stick like cooking surface. Unlike synthetically coated cookware, it is possible to restore the cooking surface of seasoned carbon steel.

Lodge uses a soy-bean vegetable oil to season our cookware. The oil contains no animal fat or peanut oil. The seasoning is functional application and slight inconsistencies may appear in the seasoning finish. The inconsistencies will not affect cooking performance.

100 years & still cooking. ..

Two historic events—the introduction of foundry seasoned cast iron cookware and the recent expansion of our foundry—represent dynamic examples of Lodge Manufacturing Company’s century-plus commitment to product innovation and investment in new equipment and technologies.

Seasoned cast iron propelled Lodge from the position of a regional manufacturer to the national stage, with Good Housekeeping presenting a “Good Buy” Award for the product enhancement. Our appearance on the national stage expanded throughout the first decade of the new century, with record sales leading Lodge to the largest expansion in our history.

While we are proud of our recent history, there is a backstory. So travel with us to the small town of South Pittsburg, Tennessee at the end of the 19th Century. Nestled at the base of the Appalachian Mountain’s Cumberland Plateau and on the banks of the Tennessee River, the town was abuzz with new opportunities.

In 1896 Joseph Lodge began a cast iron foundry, named in honor of his minister, Rev. Joseph Hayden Blacklock. Family owned, our origins were humble and our products varied, from stoves, to skillets and kitchen sinks.

As each decade passed, Lodge developed a business model to continually update and improve equipment and foundry practices. Work was labor intensive, with all of our cookware poured and cleaned by hand.

The 1950s saw the installation new molding machinery, mechanized sand delivery systems, the construction of a gas fired aluminum furnace to cast patterns for the production of sand mold impressions and a machine to clean castings.

When the introduction of new cookware metals and coatings increased competition in the 1960s, Lodge countered with a Disamatic automatic molding machine. Two years later, Lodge added an electric furnace to operate the Disamatic molding and pouring system, outpacing the capacity of the coke-fired cupola, at lower cost.

The Clean Water and Air Acts of 1970 led American companies to install new equipment to meet the pollution control laws. Lodge accepted the standards by replacing the old electric furnaces and adding a second Disamatic molding machine.

Not only did the updates meet the requirements of the Clean Air and Water legislation, by 1976 our automated processes produced as many molds in an hour as one man’s daily productivity 30 years earlier.

With the switch from antiquated electric furnaces to more efficient induction furnaces, 1991 proved to be a pivotal juncture in the green standards of Lodge Manufacturing Company. The use of magnetic energy to produce heat changed our status from a Large Quantity Generator of Hazardous Waste to a Small Quantity Generator, and we received the 1994 Tennessee Governor’s Award for Excellence in Hazardous Waste Reduction.

Today, Lodge Manufacturing Company maintains a zero hazardous waste stream foundry, earning accolades from the environmental and manufacturing communities.

Eleven years after in the introduction of seasoned cast iron cookware, Lodge broke ground for our foundry expansion. With completion of the first phase in the fall of 2014, the expansion includes a new melt system, an additional pouring/molding line and most importantly—new American jobs!

In more ways than he could have ever imagined, Joseph Lodge would not recognize the business he started over a century ago. Lodge continues to be family owned and we are the sole manufacturer of cast iron cookware in US, producing over 120 different foundry seasoned cast iron items for worldwide gourmet, outdoor and restaurant markets.

More importantly, Lodge Manufacturing Company is universally accepted as the world leader in the cast iron cookware category.

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron Braiser

The enameled cast iron braiser is uniquely designed for maximum performance, transforming tough cuts of meat and hearty vegetables into tender, flavorful dishes. Food is first seared over high heat, then finished slowly in a flavorful liquid. The wide base of the braiser allows ingredients to be placed in a single layer for proper searing; once liquid is added, the domed lid continuously circulates steam to lock in moisture and flavor.

Cooking with cast iron

Enameled cast iron is a remarkable and robust material that performs well with modern requirements for food preparation and cooking. Whether you choose to stir-fry, slow-cook a casserole, sear a steak or bake a cake, there is a shape that is suitable. Cast iron performs well for either slow cooking or high-temperature searing.

Cast iron can be used reliably on any heat source, including induction, and with any oven or grill. It has the ability to retain heat efficiently, which allows for use of lower heat settings in stovetop and oven cooking. On the table, a hot covered dish will keep food hot for second servings.

Cast iron can also be used to keep foods cold. A chilled dish becomes an ideal cold food server on a hot summer day. It can also be placed in the freezer for food storage or advanced food preparation.

Heat recommendations

Le Creuset cast iron cookware can be used on all heat sources including gas, electric solid plate or radiant ring, vitro-ceramic glass, induction, and ovens fired by gas, oil, coal or wood. When using any glass-topped stove, always lift the pan when moving it; never slide it, as this may damage the stovetop or the base of the pan.

Always match the pan’s base size to the stovetop heat zone to maximize efficiency, and to prevent overheating of the pan sides or damage to the handles.

Gas flames must always be confined to the base area, and must never extend around the sidewalls of the pan. Long handles should be positioned safely where they do not hang over the front of the stove or other heat zones.

Cleaning and Care

Always cool a hot pan for a few minutes before washing.

Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water. While Le Creuset’s enamel is designed to be the most durable on the market, thermal shock may still occur, resulting in cracking or loss of enamel.

If there are food residues, fill the pan with warm water and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing. A brush can be useful for removing small food deposits, or for cleaning between the ribs on grills. Do not use scourers or abrasive cleaners on the cooking surface. To avoid damaging the enamel, do not use metallic pads or harsh abrasive cleaning agents.

Light stains or metal marks caused by metal tools can be removed with Le Creuset cookware cleaner. An occasional cleaning with this product will also retain the new appearance of your pans. Le Creuset enameled cast iron is extremely durable but it may be damaged if accidentally dropped or knocked against a hard surface.

User questions & answers

Question:	induction usage possible
Answer:	Yes the rule if a magnet will stick to the bottom it is induction ready I have only used mine on my induction cooktop.
Question:	Anyone with experience cooking salmon? Suggestions? Recipies? (I don't like highly-seasoned foods
Answer:	1. season your salmon with some oil seasoning paste (oil + seasoning+ salt+ other spices of your choice). Let rest for 10-15 mins for the oil seasoning paste to be absorbed into the fish. If you don't like highly-seasoned foods, then make sure you buy good quality salmon, and you can just season it with some salt and a thin layer of oil, then adding some fresh lemon juice before serving. If you want to skip the oil too, then you need the part of the salmon that has more fat)2. Heat the pan until very very very hot, you don't need to put oil into the pan.3. Use medium high heat. Put the fish with the side you want to present on the plate DOWN. Seal for 2-4 mins depending on the thickness of your salmon.4. Flip the fish when you see the meat is almost half way cooked (you will notice the cooked part has a slightly different color)5. Turn OFF the heat or turn the heat down to low, because the heat from the pan will cook the meat for you and this process will prevent from over-cooking your fish.6. Cook for about 2 to 3 mins or until you see the color of the fish meat is slightly pinkish and when you press the fish with your finger the meat will not bounce back.7. Serve with some freshly cut lemon wedges, the squeeze the lemon juice on the fish before eating.
Question:	The best way to clean a cast iron grill pan
Answer:	Cast iron cookware is my favorite! I usually just rinse with hot water and use a mild scrubber on mine. After some time, however, my cast iron gets buildup on the sides - I put the pans in the self-cleaning oven and they come out like new. They do have to be re-seasoned but that doesn't take much effort. I'm sure it would work fine on this ridged pan that is sure to be more difficult to clean.
Question:	how does this compare with the much more expensive enamel coated version? and why
Answer:	Much better. I have this Lodge and the LC enamel version. Trust me on this - never buy this style pan with enamel coating. Grill type pans are more difficult to clean because of the ridges, nooks & crannies. Because cast iron seasons better and becomes more non-stick than enamel, it is MUCH easier to clean with use. My LC is in the garage awaiting disposal. I love LC, but their grill pans should be avoided.
