Heats up quickly, cooks consistently. I foresee having this a long time

Excellent pan. Easy to clean, and non-stick. Enamel cast iron pans are my favourite to cook on. Surface was a bit coarse at first, but after a few cleanings with a green scrub pad, is nice a slick for cooking and washing. A small amount of oil is all that is needed to make it non-stick, even with eggs. Best used preheated at a low temperature. Holds heat as all cast iron pans do. The beauty of enamel is you can wash it with soap, unlike a traditional cast iron pan. Lid is also heavy which also holds heat and allows for excellent oven use.

This fry pan is very nice. Pretty colour, heavy cast iron, heats really well, love that it has a lid ... and the perfect size 10" with straight sides so the bottom is also 10" .

I was surprised by the weight of this skillet which weighs as much as an iron dutch oven (6qt). The finsih on the outside was perfect and polished. But the internal finsih was rougher than expected. Still it is easy to clean. So I expect a lot of use from this skillet.Update: after three months of use - hand washed only - there are small chips forming in the exterior paint. I find the internal surface quite rough compared to other enameled surfaces which makes it more difficult, but not impossible, to clean. Consider this a three star product.

Once seasoned this pan works amazing. Yes the white enamel does brown a bit but it doesn't have to look pretty to work good.

First of all the color is so pretty. Exactly as shown. I love the pan but it’s by far the heaviest pan I own. Having a cover is a big plus and it’s also very heavy! The pan performs very well. Because I bought this mainly for using on top of the stove the weight is not as important. However if you’re planning on regularly using it in and out of the oven make sure you have strong muscles to support the weight! I bet it weighs over 15 pounds. It is cast iron after all... If you’re looking for a good quality pan in a beautiful color then this is for you!!!I believe the Le Cruset brand is half the weight but it’s also 4-5 times as much money! If money is no object make another choice and go with the lighter pan. If you’re on a budget like me then this is an excellent choice. I would highly recommend it. Plus the color is gorgeous!!! It looks beautiful stored on your stovetop

This is a nice looking pan with matching press. My first cook on it tonight and I grilled a NY strip steak. Dry pre-heat, oil up the streak and applied S&P. Placed the steak once the pan reached 370 to 380 degrees F and it laid in nicely with a beautiful sizzle. The pan retained heat very well and the cook was positive the whole way through. On the flip I added a few table spoons of butter along with a string of rosemary and thyme and a crushed garlic clove. I tilted the pan and used a spoon to baste the steak with the bubbling hot compound butter. The grill marks were fantastic on both sides. Pulled at internal 125 F and covered to rest. The steak was juicy and delicious and more importantly, the pan cleaned up very easily with a light scrub using soap, sponge, and hot water. The handle did not get hot enough to burn me but you'll want to use a towel if you are going to hold it for more than a few seconds during the cook. The helper handle is convenient and the press is an exceptional matching accoutrement which will be great for bacon and panini sandos. I needed a grill pan and did not want to spend a ton for this add on to my cookware. I picked up the red one and I could not be happier with this purchase. 5 stars across the board.

I waited a bit before reviewing so I’d have a good grasp of how I like the skillet first.Pros:Easy to clean and seasonCooks food perfectlyNon toxicLarge, cooks skillet dishes easily big enough for my family of sixBeautiful—lots of compliments on this oneHolds up well, SturdyCons(ish… there really aren’t any):Very heavy so if you have never handled a heavy skillet you’ll be surprised at its weight. Personally this is a pro to me, but my 60 year old mother could never lift this thing.The bottom will eventually get a little brown. I mean, it’s a skillet. You put it on heat. What do you expect? Unless you are staring at the bottom you wouldn’t know it, though, and as heavy as it is you likely won’t be doing that.It is cast iron so that means low and slow. You don’t want to turn the heat up to high on this one (or you’ll really turn the bottom brown). I’ve found that my stove top burner does well on level 4 or 5 heat out of a ten-level heat setting. It takes five minutes or so to get the surface ready to use but patience pays off because when heated and oiled properly, it doesn’t stick and mannnn does it cook well!I would have one of these in every size if I could afford to.

It’s a very attractive enamelled cast iron frying pan. With the lid on, it’s very heavy. It is a 12 inch fairly deep frying pan. It’s beautiful and I’m very pleased.

I got this to replace a black cast iron pan. I was tired of all the maintenance for so many years so I decided to go with porcelain on cast iron. I have no regrets. This is a very well made item. I have acquired quite a few other pieces of porcelain/cast iron and this is as good as any of the others and better than most. It cleans up nicely and cooks as well as my vintage black iron skillet. A real nice touch is having a lid which I didn't have previously. It fits tightly and seals in the splatter and juices. This is my first Tramontina but it will not be the last. Very sturdy and quite heavy, which I consider a good thing when cooking with cast iron.

I have only used this pan once since it's purchase it but I love how it worked. I grilled hot dogs in it and it worked great. It is a bit smaller then my last, nonstick, grill pan, but I can deal with the size. It's cast iron and the weight may be a problem for some but for the way it cooks I will deal with the weight. The clean up was a breeze. No soaking, once it cooled I used straight hot water from the tap and a bit of soap with a scrub brush.I was sure to dry it like my traditonal cast iron pans.Note to that the handles do get hot, you will need pot holders.This is my fourth Tramontina enamel coated cast Iron pan that I have purchased and I love them all thus far.The blue color is very pretty, but I was looking to find an off white one to match my off white stock pots. I wish more color choices were available.It is hard to tell that it has an enameled coating on the inside since has a rough texture and it's black, just have to take the word of the comapany. But it did clean up easily like my other pans with the white enamel inside.
