I really love that you all do the testing so I can buy the right product the first time. Thanks!

You two are awesome. I am appreciative of being able to watch your episodes on you tube. Thank you 🙏

I bought one for $20 at Aldi. Works fine.

Le Creuset is hands down spectaculars! I’d love to add that big skillet to my collection but gotta save for those and select wisely for sure. They are heavy too so consider storage. I think they will last long enough to be handed down to my children same as my grandmothers regular cast was handed down to me.

I love these videos I have learnt so much, great stuff.

Thank you for the enameled skillets comparisons. I am a fan of cast iron.

I just bought the Le Crueset Cast iron pan and I absolutely love it!! Sears beautifully and cleans so easy!! I would highly recommend !!

@@jonathanmark4306 The surface isn't really non stick, but if you use an adequate amount of oil/fat and don't heat it up way too much then things aren't going to stick. I bought one a few days ago and made steak, it stuck a tiny little bit, but it was about as easy to clean as my true non stick pan. Although it's not necessary to season this pan I gave it a couple of coats of flaxseed oil on the inside surface today and cooked some pork chops, nothing stuck to it. The enamel is ceramic, meaning it's extremely durable compared to any PTFE coated pan and will hold up for a very very long time.

Love my Le Creuset enameled cast iron...Even more than some of my All Clad.

The difference in the shape of the top two skillets is pretty significant. The Dansk one looks more like a fryer skillet, and the LC skillet is very shallow compared to the Dansk. Also, what is the top oven temperature for the LC vs the Dansk? Thanks for your helpful reviews. I’m a returning member and love the show and all the new hosts and cooks!

Grew up in the '50s with my Mom making cornbread in a regular cast iron skillet, frying eggs and bacon in it, etc. - So I'll continue to stick with the regular cast iron. Just wish I had Mom's old skillet. I'm in my 70s and I'd love to have it to pass down to my kids and grandkids. Nothing like great food with fond memories.

Nice comment, reminds me of when I was a kid too, I'm 71.

I'm very curious to see how Staub tested. In my opinion Staub is better than Le Creuset.

If you look around, especially around Christmas time, you can get good sales on Le Creuset. Can't ever go wrong with a Le Creuset. One thing I thought was odd for ATK not to mention was that the less expensive choice has straight walls where as the Le Creuset has curved walls. For a lot of cooking, I'd prefer to gently slide my food out of the skillet rather than have to scoop it all up. You can easily do that with the Le Creuset but not the Dansk Mario Batali skillet.

Just bought a Martha Stewart [insert comment here] 12-inch enameled cast-iron pan. Admitting that I have little clue what to do with it. Should I season it? Can I bake with it?

........I don't mean to sound like traditional cast iron is for everyone.......but......all of the little "extra" things you have to watch out for with enameled cast iron is not worth it to me. My 25 dollar Lodge cast iron...once a proper season was established, is NOT hard to take care of. It is easier to take care of than my All Clad. With a properly seasoned cast iron, I can literally wipe out most of the gunk with a nylon brush under running water. The stuck bits require 20 or 30 seconds extra with a thumbnail or the edge of the brush. Then you just dry it and wipe on a thin coat of oil. It is seriously easy when you consider that a cast iron can basically do ANYTHING in the kitchen (except simmer acidic things).

Different tools for different uses. These cast iron skillets would be better for heat retention, while carbon steel is better for rapid heat transmission. There is some overlap, of course, but each is ideal for some things.

If someone cooks in a cast iron pan, they're willing to season and do the work. If not, $25 bucks at Walmart every month, still worth it. I'm a lazy bachelor that Does do the work, even watched KZread videos on how to keep my 14" pan healthy

You probably saw the Traditional Cast Iron vs Enameled video that they posted 4 years before this. They say almost exactly the same things.

When you are buying Le Creuset you are buying the good quality AND the name. It's not worth it unless you want to resell it later in life... but who in their right mind would sell their family heirloom?

So ATK hasn't written off Batali after his decades of sexual misconduct in his businesses? They promote his products and help him profit, even having a woman be the voice of it? I wonder if she had any convictions over this. I feel the quality of his character matters more than the quality of any product with his name on it. I won't be purchasing any of his products.
