Great but NOT for a glass drop-in cook top

The product itself did not disappoint and is certainly not limited to hoe cakes and the like.  It is a great 11-inch general purpose griddle of heavy construction that will hold heat well.

However, the literature which accompanied the pan cautioned against using it on a glass cook top.  I am quite satisfied with the quality of the pan, but I have had to cross our glass drop-in cook top off the list of places where I can use it.

Quality product and I made a mistake because it's really to heavy for my use with a glass top stove.  Bring in my mid 70's it'll get used for outside cooking or some oven dishes.

i bought to saute on a stove top.  i loved the coil handle top, the depth was about right for my needs (higher than an actual saute pan so that ingredients wouldn't spill out, but much lower than a stockpot so than i could maneuver inside without getting burned), but i would have preferred a pan/pot that had a diameter 2 or 3" greater.  lodge logic (nor does anyone else that i could find) doesn't make a fry pan deep enough, and the larger dutch ovens are designed for camp fire use have built-in legs, which wouldn't work on a stove top.  i kept it because it was the best compromise i could find.

I love that it's stainless steel and folds up. I haven't done some heavy duty cooking in it, but I've seen YouTube videos of people doing that. And the product I received seemed capable (versus aluminum or titanium which don't seem good for much real cooking). The only thing I don't like is that you can't pour water very easily. It spills all over the place, and when you're camping, you can't afford to burn your hands. I wish there was an easy modification for this. I read on a forum somewhere that someone had added a pour spout with a nail to bend it just a little, but I don't trust myself to do that without really specific instructions. If anyone has seen any instructions for that, please let me know! Till then, I'll just have to carry around a measuring cup to dip in and move the water around. I might just need to practice pouring with this. I'll start with cold water though because the hot water was stressful and messy.

There are some videos out there for making an easy modification so that you can turn the handle into a bail so you can hang the pot if you're interested.

I had gone back and forth between this MSR pot and the Stanely that is similar, but I ultimately went with this one because it seemed more heavy duty and could be put in the fire without worries of the plastic melting or ash coming in from the holes in the lid. I also like the idea of graduations on the Stanely, but also didn't want to deal with anything getting stuck in there.

I'm a chef's kid and grew up working in the family restaurant. Good cookware is a high priority in my kitchen. Although this pan has great looks,I am a bit surprised that an institution such as the CIA would put its seal on this design. I had been looking for a larger saucier for a while and this unit seemed to be a good contender. It does cook well with a low heat setting which is the hallmark of clad type cookware. The longer handle in itself is not the issue but it causes the pan to be tip prone. Seating well and in balance on a burner is a very big deal. Either the pan itself was not made with a heavy enough base or the handle was too heavy in ratio to the pan.  A very watchful eye is necessary if you want to include this one in your cooking arsenal.

I own other Lodge products and am very happy with them.  I have mixed feelings about their carbon steel line.  I bought the 10" pan, which is lightweight and induction-friendly.  I intended to use this pan for searing, but it's too thin to stand up to the heat.  After a few uses, I noticed the bottom of the pan was slightly warped, curving outwards so it no longer sits flat on the cooktop.  I have induction, so this impedes performance of the cookware.  If you have gas, you may not notice or care.

The stove works great.  I am giving 3 stars though for the stand.  My stand was not level and I tried to bend on of the legs, and it snapped/broke right at the bend.

You do not need the stand though as it will work with a pot sitting directly on top of the stove covering the main hole and will still boil water.

The second reason for the 3 stars is that the cover will not snuff out the flames.  instead the fire will burn around the rim of the lid.  So you will need a pot deeper than the hight of the stove to snuff it, or just let it burn out.

Nice enough pan, especially for the price and size. It's very light and great that it's oven-safe. However, the bottom is not flat and so it does not sit on my flat-top stove well. Everything shifts to one side or the other. I have to return it because of that.

Very nice to have an oven-safe skillet with high walls, but the base is smaller than I expected and more importantly it's not flat -- there's a slight bubble in the middle so oil always runs to the edges. I use this when I am doing stovetop-to-oven, but otherwise I prefer my Tramontina skillet for day-to-day use.

I made the purchase of this Amazon Basics 8-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set primarily for the use with the Chefman RJ21-IN Induction Cooktop, it's a lower cost Cookware Set and does mostly work with my Chefman RJ21-IN Induction Cooktop.

One or two issues, however, is the smaller 6.3-inch sauce pan and the small 7.9-inch fry pan did not perform well for this combination. I would suspect the area for contact with the induction cooktop was too small or not enough ferrous metal embedded into the small bottom of the smaller 6.3-inch (less that 4 inches in diameter, not enough area for the magnetic sensor) sauce pan and small fry pan. However this is not a real issue because the larger pot's and pans work great on the induction cooktop, they heat evenly and are NON stick. The overall set performs great on a conventional stove top.

The aluminum with ferrous metal embedded into the bottom of the surface (see the round dotted area on the bottom outside of the cookware) provided even heating - no hot spots - and are well constructed. This set is not a super heavy gauge aluminum or heavy weight set. I would use this cookware for everyday cooking. Also only use cooking utensils made of wood, plastic, or silicone for cooking.

My only other issue with this set is that the lids for the sauce pans do not fit onto the fry pans, perhaps this is intentional to protect the glass tops from being overheated by frying or because of the plastic top handle could melt. The tops are well made and vented, and fit nicely onto the sauce pans.

Easily this became my favorite pan in the house. Very heavy pan though however that is expected since its cast iron. I use it on my glass stove top and have had no issues with it, just be very, very, very gentle when placing it on a glass stove, the weight of it could break the glass if just flopped on a stove. Remember this pan must be washed right away after use, then dried and moistened with oil lightly at all times. Try to hardly use soap the more use you can give this pan without soap the better, it will build a nice coating of oil and create a natural nonstick service with time. If you use soap you have to start the process all over again.

Dimpled top for handle takes room up inside. Lid a little loose. Will try it out soon. I put it in our pizza oven outside after baking to cook a chicken.

I love this pan but for one glaring problem!!  When using oven mitts or potholders, it's virtually impossible to pull up the handles away from the pan's sides in order to remove the hot pan from the oven.  This past Thanksgiving was the 2nd time I've used it and it's a serious problem.  It finally took TWO people to do it:  another person grabbed a standard kitchen silverware knife (not sharp - even a butter knife would work) and slid the knife blade under the handle, lifted it away from the pan and then I could grab the one side.  She then walked to the other side of the oven and did the same for the remaining side.  Only doing this allowed me to grasp those "convenient" handles with the mitts.  I was even trying to brainstorm with my son's about how they could solder or attach a thick ball underneath the handle somehow so it would stand away from the pan.  Ridiculous having to do such a thing.

Oh - I DID want to mention that I use a 4-burner induction stove top and it works perfectly - I just straddled two burners to make my "famous" giblet gravy.  It tested perfectly with a magnet (I was surprised) to be induction capable - a nice bonus.

Very beautiful piece, but the wood top easily scratches and cannot (per instructions) have any liquid, cold or heat on it (even for cleaning). A kitchen island is a central piece and needs a resilient, working space surface, so I will probably get a glass topper for it. Beyond usage restrictions, it is a lovely piece, designed well and worth the cost.

I love that it is glass and I can look at my food while it cooks. The handle stays does not over heat so you can lift lid without worry. Remember this lid is specifically made for Ozeri Earth ware but might fit some of your other pans. Also you should only heat no higher than 350. I am satisfied with this purchase. I received this product for review consideration

This skillet is great compared to the crappy skillets I replaced with it.  I love the non-stick surface and how my food cooks evenly.  Cleaning the skillet is a breeze even if left in the sink overnight.  However, unlike the product description, the handle DOES NOT stay cool when cooking on the stove top and I found out the hard way...ouch!  Always keep some oven mitts nearby when handling this skillet.

Cooktop itself is awesome, though I wish it had more adjustments for temperature. Heats a pot of water to boiling in seconds, and cools off reasonably quickly after removing the pan.

I had high hopes for the pan that came with it, as it seems like a good idea (wide and tall; should function as skillet or pot). Unfortunately,  it is annoyingly thin so food burns way too easily, and the bottom isn't flat (wth?!). I tried the pan once, and immediately donated it to Goodwill, replacing it with a cast iron skillet and a proper pot.

Still, I'd buy this again for the unit alone.
