Judge Sizzle & Serve Medium Gratin Dish, Cast Iron Skillet with Wooden Serving Stand, Induction Ready 16cm X 11cm

This is great and very useful in a variety of ways, perfect when cooking for just one.

I wanted a small dish to grill individual burgers or a couple of sausages etc and I prefer cast iron to coated non-stick pans. This one is great at this price and the wooden serving tray is just a handy bonus as a pot stand for use straight out of the oven. I really don't understand the numerous reviews for many cast iron pans that talk about rust or discolouration or food sticking...as long as you do the following: 1. season it well before first use 2. let it cool after cooking in it, and then clean it using just hot water and a steel (or similarly tough) scourer (no soap!) and definitely don't put in a dishwasher 3. make sure it's fully dry straight away...don't let it sit in a dish rack 4. do not cook acidic foods like tomatoes or vinegar in it (it will remove the seasoning) 5. wipe a little vegetable oil over the full cooking surface with a paper towel. Following these simple rules I've never had to re-season a pan and all my cast iron pans (and carbon steel ones) are more non-stick than teflon. The more you use them the more non-stick they become!

These are far smaller than the pictures lead you to believe, however, the dimensions of 16 x 11cm are correct for the top edge of the dish. The instructions that come in the box say they are not suitable for dishwashers which contradicts the content of the advert. Also I can barely get my fingers under the wooden board, no hope with oven gloves. I will use them for something other than their intended use so will not return them. If you're looking to use these as a single serving per person as a main dish they are too small.

All as described. Good quality with a good cooking surface after proper seasoning. Ignore the bad reviews where they failed to read the advert. The size is as advertised and this is cast iron so is not dishwasher safe and will rust if not looked after properly. Loose one star because the handle only fits in one position around the rim. Fortunately the belt linisher fixed that problem for me.

Great quality and value

Excellent product

Bought a few weeks ago-only used it now and this is state after washing-a thick covering of rust that will not come off. Awful product do not purchase.

This isn't the quality you expect from Judge. The iron is textured instead of smooth and the handles jagged so when I initially went to start seasoning it through washing with liquid and a scouring pad I cut myself and am still healing (metal cuts take ages to heal). It seems pretty flimsy, like if washed enough times bits are gonna start chipping off. It's also tinier than expected despite the dimensions given in the product description. I bought it for a relative and they seem to think it'll do, but personally I would've sent it back for my money.

Eigentlich spar ich mir die Zeit aber in diesem Fall habe ich einfach mal Lust was positives zu schreiben. Die Minipfanne ist top. Auf dem Grill etwas kleines überbacken, brutzelt, … Super. Das Holzbrett ideal, weil vom Grill auf den Tisch. Die Pfanne schmeiße ich dann ins Spülwasser und sie sieht wieder super aus. Ich weiß macht Mann\Frau nicht, ist mir bei dem Preis völlig egal. Im Küchenfachgeschäft kostet das mal schnell 50 € ohne Brettchen. Klare Kaufempfehlung. 😁

What happens when you put a sizzling dish on a varnished wooden base !! It sticks of course! Welding the pan to the wood !! What a crazy idea to varnish it .....words fail me.

El articulo es tal y como lo describen,un plato de hierro fundido.Lo compre expresamente para la carne para que no perdiera temperatura en la mesa ,en eso hace su funcion.para mi la pega esta en el asidero que se lo podian haber currado un poco mas engancha fatal en los bordes
