Then, I set a timer in 30-second increments and took the temperature in the same m...

   Which Size Cast Iron Skillet Was Best?

   A 10- to 10.25-inch skillet will serve most people well—it’s the perfect size for frying up some eggs, flipping a few pancakes, or searing steaks. It’s what we reviewed in the past and what I stuck to in this update. That said if you’re looking for a slightly larger skillet, all of our winners are available in bigger versions. A 12-inch skillet, for example, is large enough for a family of four or for more substantial servings.

   Seasoning and Surface Texture Wasn't Super Important

   One interesting difference between old-school and new-school cast iron skillets is the color and texture of the pans. Newcomers like Lancaster and Smithey make brassy pans with smooth, shiny surfaces, while Lodge and Victoriasell black skillets with a grainy texture. The pan’s color reflects its seasoning: The darker it is, the more seasoned it is. (Seasoning is a buildup of polymerized fat, which creates a nonstick surface.) The brass-colored pans I tested (from Lancaster, Stargazer, and Smi...

   Cast Iron Was (and Is) Durable

   Cast iron skillets are sometimes misunderstood. I’ve known people who refuse to buy one because they think they’re too high-maintenance and yet others who have balked when they see me using a metal spatula to squish and scrape smashed burgers on my favorite dual-handled Lodge skillet. To all of them, I say: It’s going to be okay. Cast iron is an incredibly forgiving material; unlike PTFE-coated nonstick pans, you can safely use a hardy metal turner without ruining the surface. And while it’s...

   A cast iron skillet should be durable and easy to maneuver—you’re dealing with a ripping hot pan after all. All of my top picks were on the lighter side, which made lifting cornbread out of the oven less of a workout. Helper handles and pour spouts were optional features that, while helpful, weren’t essential. Surface texture is often an indicator ...

   What's the difference between bare, seasoned, and enameled cast iron?

   A bare cast iron skillet has not been seasoned (take a gander at the next FAQ to find out how to do this!). A seasoned cast iron skillet has been coated with fat and heated, creating a polymerized layer that’s naturally nonstick. Finally, an enameled cast iron skillethas a cast iron core that’s coated in, well, enamel. This makes it more nonstick out of the box, and it doesn’t require seasoning.

   How do you season a cast iron skillet?

   It’s easy! First, take your freshly unpackaged skillet and give it a wash just in case there are any errant metal bits from the manufacturing line. After hand drying, you can set it over medium heat for a few minutes to ensure all the water is gone. Then, preheat your oven to 450°F. Rub the entire skillet with a neutral, high-smoke point oil (canola oil works) and place it in the oven for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the skillet (it’ll be hot), rub with more oil, and repeat another three to f...

   Do I need to pre-season my cast iron skillet?

   All of the cast iron skillets we tested were sold pre-seasoned or had a pre-seasoned option. In this case, you don’t need to do any more seasoning off the bat—you can get cooking and let that seasoning grow over time. If you buy a bare, unseasoned cast iron skillet, you’ll need to season itbefore getting started so you don’t end up with food stuck on the pan.

   What is the lightest cast iron skillet?

   • The Lodge Chef Collection 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet did well in all our tests, and impressively it was the lightest of all the inexpensive skillets we tested (though some $80 to $100-plus pans weighed a bit less). While it’s a little shallower than the classic Lodge, this skillet’s slightly sloped sides make it great for searing and roasting.

   Which cast iron skillet should I buy?

   • Although there are many cast iron skillets on the market, a few brands dominate the cookware competition. This includes the likes of Lodge, Le Creuset and Staub. To choose the right skillet for you, consider what your ideal weight would be. Too lightweight and your cast iron won't feel secure on your stove.
