Was surfing on the Lehmans site and came acrossed these new style cast iron pans.
Anybody have any thoughts or opinions?

I like my Lodge cast Iron. Not sure what I would gain over a well seasoned conventional pan.

I would send them to Vinny to see if they pass the rolling test first before i got one for myself

The advantages that I see are that they are dishwasher safe and won't rust while still getting the heating qualities of cast iron. They would probably be ideal for restaurant use.

They won't have that classic look of well seasoned cast iron though.

Nickel plating is very hard. my dad ran a plating shop, always hated it when someone would ask him to "Dip this in chrome".

one of the main benefits is that
can't transfer flavors from use to use

cast iron does absorb and re-introduce flavor and "particulate matter"


plating cast iron is a good mix it is a very good substrate for plating and will practically be free from pealing or separation of the plating

The Griswold Co. made nickel plated cast iron skillets many years ago. Unfortunately most of the ones I have seen, the nickel plating had come partially off. They can't take extreme heat.
