Besides the cast iron vs. aluminum base, what is the difference between the 613 and 612 models?

The 612 model uses a large type pin for rotation, the 613 model uses ball bearings for rotation. Both of these models are sold on Amazon. The 613 is slightly more expensive. Hopes this helps.

I cannot speak to the difference as I have the 612 model. I love it and have no complaints about it whatsoever. I highly recommend it. Sorry I cannot speak to the difference for you

To be honest I don't know what differences there are between the models. But what I can tell you is that I am very happy with my purchase. I used it to make a wedding cake last March. It handled the 14 inch round 4 inch high cake with no problems. I would buy this cake stand agian in a heart beat. Sorry I can't be anymore help then that. :)

its comes in both models. the one for about $50 is Aluminum, the one for about $98 is carbon fiber. I have the aluminum ones and they are very light and very well made.

I am not quite sure if there is a difference but it really bakes evenly and releases from the pan plus it is decorative, and easy to clean. I am really glad I have this set. Hope this helps. I also think cast would be heavier.

I am looking for that too, I doubt it, it says aluminum base. If someone who has used (all of) them on induction top can confirm that would be good.

Do not know. Was not cast iron base as advertised-was plastic. Also, would not turn on so sent it back for full refund.

essentially the difference is both sets are stainless steel inside, but the less expensive one has a brushed aluminum surface. The more expensive one is stainless on the outside too.

the difference is clear .. if you want the grill marks from the competition cast iron is the answer, but if you do indirect or l & s can do without! for me is irreplaceable .. andrea

Sorry - I answered it wrong the first time. The inner layer is steel. The base is also magnetic steel - it works well on induction. You will be cooking in steel - I do not use aluminum either.

Not a whole lot until you get to an even higher series that is guaranteed for commercial use. We bought the 1363 for the stainless steel color. ALL are guaranteed for the home use the same, so you can choose with confidence.

Have never used anything but the cast aluminum one we purchased. Am not an authority on either one but the one we got seams to work just fine to me.

Carbon steel is LIGHTER than cast iron, stronger and, heats quickly. CI holds heat longer. Both can be used in oven. Both are excellent pans and can be used on open flame. Buy one of each I recommend the 10 inch carbon lodge for a good all around kitchen pan.

The heat is the difference plus the cleaning. When I have cooked with the SS one that I had it handled the heat better without scorching. The aluminum has a lower heat rating(not mentioned anywhere just what I have observed). Also cleaning the residue from cooking from aluminum to SS different. But I am happy with my aluminum pressure cooker. There are a few small adjustments. The difference in price and size was important in getting a new pressure cooker for us. But If you don't have price in mind go with the SS. If price is a consideration/size the aluminum is a very GOOD purchase!!

I bought this w/o prior knowledge and have not used the 613 product. I can tell u it is different than regular Wen and it deep conditions better. However, it has a fairly unpleasant smell but is meant to be additive to existing conditioner.

The only difference I can figure out is the 121 has a steel grate for the grill part and the 141 has a porcelain coated steel grate and the 141 has a variable gas control valve where the 121 just has 2 settings, High and Low. I have the 121. Hope that helps

The original is aluminium and the replacement is cast iron. We bought two because of this

Not necessarily, I had a griddle and a grill. My aluminum grill I had originally finally melted to a point I wanted it replaced. I also replaced the griddle since I was not using that. I like both sides to be grills.The cast iron appears to be doing well and not deforming at all.

It does have the traditional Norwegian pattern......I don't believe it is cast iron because I have an very old cast iron krumkake iron that is used on the stove top....Also, I'm not sure if this new electric iron is made of aluminum or stainless steel.....it's been put away until before Christmas so I can't check right now.....Used it for the first time last Christmas and was very satisfied.....it's alot easier than the old fashion way on top of the stove. The heating plates are somewhat bigger than the old stove top version.
