Over the last 6 months I have been using a pair of Solidteknics Aus Ion skillets . I’ve always used cast iron the past but was finding the weight of some of the larger skillets off putting ./
The Solidteknics are roughly half the weight of the cat iron which is a bonus and I found them extremely easy to season . I would highly recommend them for those that enjoy using a quality product . Another bonus is that they are Australian made . I will put a link to their web site below.
No Graham none what so ever . My cleaning routine consists of taking the skillet off the gas flame and running it under hot water , a light going over with a stiff nylon brush , back on the heat to dry out then Extra virgin olive oil buffed in then heat off . Even running under hot water will crack and buckle some makes . No problems here .
Thank you, will look into them as I agree the cast iron gets heavier even with the same pot over the years…I am sure someone is adding weight to them somehow.
Looked at the site - so these are just metal? seasoned but plain? I’ve always gone stainless except my wok and frying pan which are spun steel from Sovereign Hill (You can buy them and have them shipped) which I have seasoned myself - they still rust a bit, but easy to clean - they don’t look ‘flash’ but I feel happy with them
I’ve looked at the cast/wrought stuff - yes very heavy which I don’t mind so much being a little on the ‘gorilla’ side myself, but lighter with the same benefits does sound good. Looking forward to seeing if theres more comments/support in this thread … thanks!
The skillet is 26cm .I purchased mine from Kitchen Warehouse Online and jumped on a %20 discount they were offering . It lists on the website where you can purchase them . I purchased the 30 cm from Everten Online ./
You would be more than happy with these skillets . I’ve used a few brands now and nothing comes near them . The Yanks think they are the best thing since sliced bread Feel free to give me a yell if you need anymore information .
