## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of spatula do you use on this?**
A: I use a metal spatula which you can find on Amazon. It's listed as...
HIC Harold Import Co. Dexter-Russell Pancake Turner, Stainless Steel with Walnut Handle, 4 x 2-1/2" 
Btw... I LOVE both the spatula and this GSI skillet. I use them together cooking over an open fire when camping. Its the only pan I bring. Works wonderfully and is easy to clean... tiny bit of soap plus water. Then I protect it with a rubbing of a very small amount of crisco. Highly recommend both.

**Q: What is the depth of the pan perpendicularly from the bottom to the rim, without the handle? I am looking for a cast iron wok that’s not too shallow.**
A: I have the 10" diameter GSI Outdoors model and it is 2" deep at center.  I do like it and have looked at it and noticed that it does resemble a somewhat shallow wok.    I have a lightweight cast iron wok that is 13.5" diameter and 3.5" deep at center.

**Q: Does the coating leech into the food you are cooking?**
A: I scrubbed mine very thoroughly (dishwashing detergent, baking soda, kosher salt) until the gray coating used in shipping stopped showing gray on a paper towel.  Then immediately seasoned it following included directions (light coating of high temperature cooking oil, 450degF for at least an hour inverted in oven, then allowed to cool down in oven).  It resulted in a very nice "seasoning" as the term is used for cast iron cookware.

    I love this pan
  

*by O***R on Reviewed in the United States on 8 October 2024*

I got the 10” version for camping and I loved it so much I use it all the time and got the 12” version too. These are my go to pans for cooking at home and at camp.

    Fantastic pan
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in Canada on 9 April 2024*

This is pan is pretty much perfect. I bought it for use in the house, on an electric glass top range. I need a pan that won’t warp and wobble all over the cooktop, but I also need a pan that won’t scratch the glass. Non stick coatings wear off over time, and are dubious when it comes to your health. My go to is cast iron because it seasons, holds heat and is very unlikely to warp, but it is heavy and it definitely does have a tendency to scratch.The Guidecast series of pans are advertised as a lightweight version of cast iron, so I was really hoping for the best of all worlds here; sturdy but lighter, with the non stick qualities of cast iron. I wasn’t sure how much of a reduction in weight to expect, but let me tell you, this pan is way, way lighter than regular cast iron. My 12” standard cast iron is a beast that I need two hands to lift. This 12” pan is easily maneuvered with one hand, even full of food. It is also much smoother than standard cast iron, on both the outside and the inside of the pan. The outside has a matte black satin texture, while the inside is shiny and almost polished.I did not test the factory seasoning, but I did immediately use the recommended oven method with some flax oil to season. One treatment and it performs like a teflon surface. Nothing sticks! Standard cast iron can be pretty good if you maintain the seasoning, but this version beats it hands down. Or up, since you can actually lift this pan!So far, through the oven heat and some heavy stove top use, it has not warped at all. It sits perfectly flat and doesn’t seem to scratch, or at least not more than a steel pan would.One minor difference I was worried about is that the cooking surface of the pan is rounded and sloped up the sides, so it does reduce the total area available for cooking compared to my straight sided 12” pan. In practice, I think it makes it easier to get utensils under the food, and the surface area is still large enough for a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches or steaks.The handle is long enough for maneuvering the pan but not so long that it gets in the way. This doesn’t come with a silicone handle cover so I will invest in one of those, but the handle doesn’t seem to get unduly hot when the pan is in use.Overall, I am a huge fan of this pan! It fulfills all my needs and exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to anyone.
