Grizzly Cast Iron 12 Inch Skillet Product Review
Kristin Meredith:
This is the thread for the product review of the Grizzly Cast Iron 12 Inch Skillet. The manufacturer's website is: https://www.grizzlycookware.com/ and additional information can be found at that site.
The manufacturer makes the following representations regarding this product:
1. Coated cast iron cookware
2. Easy to clean
3. No seasoning required
4. Smooth cooking surface
5. 100% made in the USA
It came with a card containing a "quick clean up guide". Users are told to wash the skillet before the first use and to not use bleach on the skillet. Recommened clean up: hand washing with dish soap and a sponge. If there are still stains on the cooking surface, they recommend washing with Bar Keeper's Friend Soft Cleanser to restore luster.
The package it arrived in was sturdy with no holes or dents. Upon opening, everything in side was in good order.

The nickel finish is lovely in the unused pan. It will be interesting to see changes over the course of cooking. The inserted "Quick Clean Up Guide" was a handy reminder and easy for me to keep in the kitchen.

This skillet is heavy and solid. We weighted it and it comes out at about 9.5 lbs, maybe a tad more.
Information provided by member sschorr re the weight of cast iron skillets: "The Lodge 12" weighs is 8.8 lbs. Calphalon shows 6.75 lbs (info from online search). The Stargrazer (which I have) is 6.5 lbs. "
Kristin Meredith:
First cook was bacon. A couple of photos and video of different stages of cooking. Used metal tongs with no problems. Bacon did not really stick to the pan that much, very easy to turn. This was Bent's homemade bacon so might have a bit more sugar which burned in pan.
Drawbacks for using it to cook bacon -- the pan is heavy and the handle gets very hot. so you need a pot holder or mitten to move the pan around and can become a bit cumbersome.

After the bacon cooked, Bentley wanted to make scrambled eggs for a couple of breakfast burritos. We used a heat gun to show the skillet temp (our stovetop is propane fueled). I will do a fried egg later. He wanted to cook with the leftover fat and fond. He used a metal spatula and I did not notice any problems or scratches. Showed the pan after he took the eggs out.

I let the skillet cool per manufacturer's instructions and then hand washed with warm water, soap and a thin sponge. It cleaned up fairly easily with very little scrubbing. The bacon did leave some slight discoloration.
