Tramontina 12.5" Covered Cast Iron Skillet

This is a very nice cast iron pan, like any other seasoned pan if the surface feels a bit rough you may have to sand it down smooth and reseason it, i did mine and it's good to go, followed kent rollins on youtube on seasoning cast iron pans. Am very pleased. Use it every day.

The Tramontina 12.5" Covered Cast Iron Skillet wit a lid is a good companion in the kitchen. It is much lighter (in weight) than comprable cast iron (CI) pans of its size and it has a lid. The high sides allow me to cook those larger dishes much more easily than my other CI pans. The added grip makes it easy to pick the CI pan up when moving it to another burner and to the oven. Did I mention it has a lid? Over all I am pleased with my purchase. The quality is there and it has a good warranty, which adds to peace of mind.

I love using cast iron, I'm growing my collection and this one was a must have. I used it the same day I got it to test it out and it was perfect. It's so nice to be able to start my meet on the stove top to get a nice color on it and then cover it with the lid and finish it in the oven. It's such a good size too, I highly recommend it.

This is the perfect cast iron skillet. I have used it for fried chicken and pork chops too. I havent tried eggs in it yet, but so far it works great. Very good quality.

Like that this generous size skillet came with a lid. This was a nice addition to my forever iron cook ware. Love that I can put in oven as well or on my outside gas burner.

Great product!! I purchased because it came with a top. However, the pan was a little bigger than i needed. But i still like it.

Purchased thinking it was truly pre-season. I seasoned the skillet think oh the lid should be ok. I was wrong & oh did I pay for that. Had to scrub like crazy & season 4 times for desired coverage

This is very heavy compared to some older cast iron skillets that I have of comparable sizes. The texture is also verrrrrrry rough. I bet with a lot of seasoning and TLC it will smooth out but it is definitely the roughest cast iron pan I've ever started. Seems to be good quality, though and it's going to let me a lot of years.

This skillet is a great size and very heavy. The downside is the lid rusted the first day I used it. I covered the skillet while cooking and the lid filled with rust and dripped rust all over the steaks. Even after wiping the rust off, oiling the lid and baking it a while in the oven the lid is still rusty. Where is the rust coming from? This item is brand new.

I bought this a few weeks ago and I am greatly disappointed. … The surface of the pan has a gritty feel and (weird as it may sound) it appears like the food is absorbed by the surface. After cooking eggs and bacon the eggs were embedded right into the metal of the pan and NOTHING is lifting this food out of the tiny crevices. I've owned iron skillets for over 40 years and never experienced this. Perhaps poor manufacturing. This pan is not usable. And yes, it was seasoned.
