Is Lodge Classic Cast Iron Skillet 10.25" Good for Ceramic Cooktops?

Is enameled cast iron better than regular?

Enameled cast iron doesn't need seasoning and is easier to clean, but it can't develop a non-stick surface like bare cast iron. It's also more expensive and can chip.

Can cast iron crack from heat?

Extreme temperature changes can crack cast iron. Never put a cold pan on high heat or a hot pan under cold water. Allow gradual temperature changes.

Why is my new cast iron rough?

Modern cast iron is sandcast, leaving a textured surface. This improves with use as seasoning fills the texture. Premium brands machine their surfaces smooth.

Why is my cast iron sticky after seasoning?

Sticky seasoning means too much oil was used. The fix: heat the pan on the stove until it smokes, wipe with a paper towel, and let it cool. Next time, use a thinner oil layer.
