Can I use this as an every day skillet or am I better off getting the 11" Lodge Color skillet?

I own the 11 inch but bought the smaller ones for our sons and daughter. I would recommend the larger one.

Hello. It really depends on what you are cooking everyday. While this casserole is serviceable as a skillet, it is really ideally suited for a long braise. It's big and heavy and takes up a lot of real estate on the stove, and its deep sides are less than optimal for flipping and turning. If you are seeking something in which to regularly cook eggs, pancakes, or fish, the 11" skillet would be better; as well as easier to handle and clean. Thanks.

This skilet is large ad very heavy. For everyday, I would use my regular cast iron skillet with the handle. This is good for stovetop casseroles, stroganoff, etc. Mine has a chip so be careful with it.

I have the 12 inch skillet and the 12 inch glass lid and they are a match. (they should have sold them together and saved us some bucks.. but i digress) My guess is if you have the 10.25 Lodge brand pan then this Lodge lid should fit it just fine. Try a local Target or Macy's that has Lodge products and measure them before you buy? If you catch a sale you might even get a better price.

I own both an advanced 3.5 qt pot and three nouvelle skillets. Both have the hard annodized surface which is very nice and durable (even though they say you can use metal utensils I stick with wood, plasitc or silicone). The nouvelle has the multi-metal multi-layered bottoms which distrubute heat very evenly as well as are less likely to warp which was a big concern for me. The nouvelle pans also have the flush rivets for the handles which are a very nice feature as well. I would do the same as I did and buy the nouvelle skillets and go with the advanced for the pots. Hope this helps.

Cook's Illustrated/ATK prefer this pan, yes. The handle is a bit skinny for some users. It both cooks very well and cleans up nicely with Barkeepers Friend. Great skillet.

Gosh yes, and what a great setup THAT will be! I'm sure Weber makes them all to standard diameters, so pick a kit that will fit yours. In terms of making pizza on it, I highly recommend the Lodge Pro Logic cast iron pizza pan, but that needs at least a 21" diameter grill for there to be enough air circulation up to the top. Set up that way, the whole thing can get to 900F quickly and stay there all day.(But in order for it to actually stay there all day, you need to also order (or modify) a grill rack that allows you to feed the fire without having to disassemble everything. Either KettlePizza makes one or they can tell you where to get one.) Gosh yes, and what a great setup THAT will be!

Absolutely, I use mine for bread recipes all the time. I use it for slow cook recipes, too. Cast iron holds the heat evenly and can be used in all situations. I have the dutch oven, 3 skillets, a grill and and I don't known what it's called but it's a grill like a skillet. I use my cast iron for everything. best investment I have ever made. I am not on the payroll for Lodge products, i just use and believe and trust.

Checked into this myself and was satisfied with what I found that they are one and the same. Gave a skillet to my son and he loves it so bought more for him for this Christmas. If you're still not sure just research the company. Hope this helped.

Mine is 11" across so it will not fit, why do you want to put it in a skillet?

I don't have the other pan. I have a 10 inch and i needed a 12 inch .didn't even know they had a 11 inch. Go for the 12 if you only need one.

Follow up to my response seconds ago......the skillets in my set were 8 and 10 inch.....but feel certain this one is equally as great!

This "looks" like the glass lid that goes with my 10.25 skillet. I bought the skillet and tempered glass lid from Amazon, but NOT as a set. I use them together all the time. It is better made than others I have because the nob on the top is "solid" and does not get water in it and have to be unscrewed to get the water out. Enjoy your Lodge cast iron! Evelyn

I'd say it is more like 11 + inches. My only issue was the slight cupping in the center of my skillet. I would encourage you to check that the whole cooking surface is flat.

Depends what you're looking for whether a campfire Dutch oven or one for stove top and or oven. Generally, the heavier it is, the more stable it is with regards to holding/dispersing heat. I have a campfire version, the enameled one, and another 8 qt with a dome lid. All are Lodge. There are others out there, although I'm not familiar with them. I have an older cast iron skillet that is not a Lodge, and it is fine. I also have a cast iron loaf pan in which I have made breads and meatloaf. I also recently purchased a 12 inch Lodge cast iron skillet, and got a stove top griddle and ribbed square pan as gifts; all are Lodge. Keep your un-enameled cast iron well seasoned. Even if pre-seasoned, I still season them myself.

Not sure what you are asking. Mine has a diameter of only 6 inches. An 8 cup pot with a 11-inch diameter would look more like a skillet, wouldn't it? If you're looking for something else, I'm sorry.

I would say that yes you could - in theory. I have noticed that the enamel (?) chips off pretty easily. I think the grill might really annoy it. Hunt around and find an old NON-LODGE deep skillet with lid in just plain cast iron and you'' never have that problem. I hate the Lodge finish.

I am no expert on this unit even though I have one. I am just a consumer. But I know the All Clad skillet is induction capable and I see no reason why your 12" skillet should not work perfectly on the Berghoff which can accommodate many sizes. I have used a small 6" inch skillet with it and it heats up beautifully.

Not efficiently unfortunately. I installed with drawers above and can only use it with saucepans, no skillets.
