Yes, I have a good collection of Lodge cast iron skillets and particularly like the Blacklock series which are lighter weight (than traditional Lodge skillets) with gently sloped sides.
I am thinking of giving a Stargazer or the Field version a test run in my kitchen in either a 10" or 12" size. Among the more premium cast iron skillets, which ones do you find to be better or worth the money? Which brands and sizes do you prefer and why? Which ones have you tried and found to be over-hyped?
I'm looking for something more finished and smoother without excessive weight. I like the iron options such as DeBuyer Mineral B and similar Mafter pans but, I also find value in a heavier skillet with more thermal capacity for some of my cooking. I'm not interested in enameled cast iron skillets right now.
TIA,
Sid
p.s. Happy Easter weekend!
