I'm interested to see what others use for cooking with the 17 inch pan. It doesn't really fit my stovetop but I use it in my oven and on my grill.

I have used mine as a roasting pan mostly and have made: lots of bacon, beer can chicken, chicken fried steak, milanesa steak, pizza (thick crust too), focaccia bread,various roasts, and bacon wrapped turkey for thanksgiving. I usually use it in the oven, the grill or on the camp chef 90, rarely on the stove top. It also does great for tacos/fajitas on the Weber.

I have used the pan to make an okra roux for a pot of gumbo. I have also used it for a large roasting pan in the oven. My wife has roasted veggies and I have used it for a turkey.

I have a Jenn Air range (wouldn't recommend that product) but I use the pan on that stove (gas/propane). I usually use it for low heat cooking like Paella, etc. I also have a portable induction burner and it works fine on that also.

I also use mine mainly in the oven or outside on the grill or in a wood-fired oven.But I also use the pan on my gas cooktop for fajitas. I use my largest burner turned up fairly high. Not all of the pan will get hot, so first I sear the meat (steak or chicken), push it to the side to keep warm, sear the onions, peppers and tomatoes, push them to the side and lastly warm the tortillas. It makes a nice presentation to bring the whole pan to the table (with lots of hot pads :-) and let everyone dig in.

Easily cook bacon, hash browns and eggs at the same time, same pan on grill or gas burner while camping

I use mine across two burners of my gas stove, three burners of the RV stove, on our Camp Chef stove, or in the oven. This has to be one of my favorite pans; it's all purpose! I've made pizza in it, cooked cast iron steak, made huge batches of stir fry, and for meat for tacos las lenguas barbacoas.

I use this pan for large meals in our indoor stove top. It take up at least 2 burners and in our RV it takes up all three burners. I love this pan since it is large enough to use as a wok and for cooking up eggs, chicken and everything when we have a big group to feed. I hope this helps.

I use mine outdoors on gas grill or charcoal grill as a paella & jambalaya pan....

It comes with a 17 3/4 by 12 pan. I think a pan 1/2 inch wider (12 1/2) inches will fit .

If the pan is 7" - 8", that's a problem with this one as well. It's just too large, and can't be placed squarely on the rim. But I mostly use it on 10" and 12" skillets, and there's no problem. I love it! And I use a lid from one of my saucepans for the small skillets.

Try a Lodge cast iron skillet the same size as this. Just turn it over this pan. I've used skillets as lids many times.

I have the cuisnart round grill pan. I use it alll rhe time on my glass top stove. I get it pretty hot as to GRILL my pork chops, hamburgers ect. It does a great job with grill marks and taste. Place your meat crosswise to get the real nice grill marks and to smoke the meat. This will add a lot of smoke for you. The aroma of the smoke is fantastic. You can scramble eggs to!! I love this pan. Hope this helps.

I use mine for a bacon press in my larger pan. But for my ribbed pan I found it just as easy to flip the food over and it gives me a reason to check the food. Good tip is pre heating press in pan when going to use. Helps cook food a little faster.

I used 12" pan. the issue is there is not much space between the edge of pan and the burner, and because the burner is flat, all it takes is a little nudge and pot slides off. So it should be fine if you're careful.

I've done it and it works just fine, the only negative factors are the size (ie, I don't have a 14-inch skillet) , and it's a little unwieldy when the pan handle is flush against the level of the oven rack. The two handles on this pan are nice.

this is a great pan. i have many pots & pans but i use this one the most. i use only a moderate flame under the pan on a gas stove. i find that i dont need to crank up the flame & they warn you not to. with or without the lid...it is a super pan.!! enjoythe pan comes with precise directions for how hot in the oven.if you go to the cuisinart site & look at the pan they give the all the info.

What kind of pan do you want to use? The picture I see is an aebelskiver pan. I don't know if there's even a cover for it. I think the best thing you could do would be to contact Lodge Mfg.--they have sites on the internet--and see what they tell you. otherwise, you could measure the diameter and what kind of lid would work. (I'm sure you'll want a lid that won't rest too close to the food and squish it.)

The measurement has already been answered I see but I will add that it is in my opinion not deep enough to cook anything that will produce fat drippings or any other juices otherwise it would surely leak over the sides onto the bottom of your stove.

I really like this pan. I have a large burner on an electric cooktop, so it seems to heat evenly. Don't know how well it would do on a small burner.

I believe that's way too big for this cooktop. I use a 11" and that works fine. 15" is alot larger then the surface and cast iron is very heavy as well.

Gotta tell you. Think this is one for the manufacturer. I would not use it in oven till it was cleared with them. I love it for stove top for long cooked sauces and soups. . Just what I needed!

That's exactly what I use mine on and I have had no issues. It cooks evenly and hasn't scratched my cooktop. I love this thing!

I just got mine. I have a 9 X 13 that I was hoping to be able to use, but the handles make it entirely too long. Do you know where I could find a 9X13 GLASS pan WITHOUT handles? I need this size for my cake, but I HATE to use the big stove oven.
