This is a useful pan, especially for stir-frys.

The 5qt deep skillet, which is the same diameter as a Lodge 12" fry pan, where the lid meets the pan; when heated holds the heat like no other piece of cookware you've ever used. Before we became as health conscious as we are today, this pan was sold as a "chicken fryer". Indeed, someday, Im going to use this pan to fry some chicken or fish. Think of this pan as the pan that is taller than a skillet, but shorter than your dutch oven.

Lodge used to sell this with a cast iron lid (beter for braising, but the "look inside" feature of the glass lids is nice).

A major problem with making stir-fry at home is that residential stoves don't have put out enough heat energy (BTU's) to adequately heat a carbon steel wok enough to hit the stir-fry with enough heat to do the "fry" part of stir-fry. Instead the addition of each ingredient cools the temperature of the wok down to where it more steams the food instead of flash frying it.

When making a classic stir-fry, the addition of each batch of meat/fish/tofu and vegetables does little to cool off the blazing heat that this pan holds. (be sure to use your potholders)

Like all Lodge cast iron, it comes pre-seasoned, and needs to be stored absolutely dry. I lightly heat mine on a stove burner for a few minutes after washing to be absolutely sure. This pan will last so long, that you'll be handing it down to your children.

This was the widest deep cast iron skillet that I could find. I really like it. I am glad that I purchased it.

Honest reviews on Review of Download Lodge Deep Skillet with Glass Lid

I have a Le Creuset skillet, which I love, but sometimes it wasn't deep enough for certain recipes, and it doesn't have a lid. I ordered this skillet to address those issues, and I'm so glad I did. This pan heats quickly and retains heat well, and puts a lovely sear on meats when it's too cold to grill out. If you've never used cast iron before, be aware that "seasoned" does not mean "nonstick", and that cast iron does require some simple maintenance to prevent rusting. However, it's simple and will help this pan last you for life.

The pan arrived with strange little bumps and very sticky. I had to season it myself, even though it was advertised as "seasoned". False description.
