I'm at the stage in my life where I'll pay for quality and customer service but really, how can you make a better cast iron skillet?

Finish of the cooking surface, but my guess is the brand name is most of it.

Thanks.

I bought one of these in Canada at Lee Valley. I love it! Then I saw a silicone ‘sponge’ surrounded in stainless steel rings at BiMart, made by Lodge. I’ve gotten them for friends, they are wonderful. Not sure which I like better.

Those ring pads are good if you have stuff stuck. Then easy to clean the rings with a brush.

I'd be really really happy if one of you would get me one of these Yeti skillets for xmas. I've been a good boy. No naughty list for me. No need to gift wrap.

Our town has a fall festival on the common each ...well... fall... and one of the events is the cast iron skillet toss... If you brought that fancy lightweight one maybe you could toss the furthest and win the big prize!

Julie has competed in the skillet toss in Hamilton, Montana. They toss 9" skillets that they provide. Contestants cannot bring their own. I doubt a Yeti Skillet will ever be awarded as a first prize.

Sure hope that there's no residual magnetism remaining in Julies near new knee. It may alter her throw.

:P
