This one has flaws. The grey one tends to burn etc. Which holder is highly recommended for the 10" skillet?

We have red, blue & yellow Lodge handles and they work well with both 10" and smaller skillets. They fit well and are shaped for easy gripping.

I have not had any problem using my silicone holder. I do cook on a medium or low temperature setting.

I'm very happy with this red silicone holder. I have not used it in the oven but for a gas range, it's been the best one I've owned. I use it daily.

I have this holder in the lime green and have add no issues with it burning or becoming hot. I have not used it directly in the oven though. The Lodge Stone holder works great on my cast iron frying pans.

I have a handle holder that is more like a quilted potholder. I leave it on the handle of my pan which I use everyday. I like it better than these silicone ones that can get singed by the electric stove burners.

I would not recommend any of these silicone handle covers. They fit way to loose on my 10" and my 12" skillets.

I would say go with the cast iron, because that is what I have and it works very well. I bought a griddle and a regular new grate for my grill (both sides were old and very rusted and gross), and I must say that I am happy with both sides. Only thing that I don't care for is that it is made in China.

To BC & VP: The only stainless skillet I recently bought was the Cuisinart 722-36H Chef's Classic.. The whole trick to preventing food from sticking is not to have the pan too hot. Also - have a bottle of Bar Keepers Friend on hand for thorough cleaning. Really works. The pan will look like new. Good luck.

The 10" skillet can be covered with the stock pot lid or the or the saut pan lid. The 8" pan has no lid that fits.

Eggs love to stick to things, especially hot metal surfaces. In all honesty I love this cookware set but in some cases there is no beating a good non-stick skillet. That's why I always have a 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch non-stick skillet on hand and ready to go. The only down side is that a non-stick skillet loses it's non-stick abilities after so many uses but really $10 every few years is cheap enough to just buy a new one when needed.

I'm glad to help,the space between them is a generous one and a fourth inch. As far as holding a pan,i think it would depend on how heavy it was thought i cant say for sure. I tested with a 10" skillet and it didnt stand up like the plates dos but it did hold it. Hope that helps

More or less. You can cover the 8" skillet with the sauce pan lid, but it is not tight, but I doubt you will need it tight. My wife does this all the time. There is a lid for the skillet with the helper (they call it 3 qt saute with lid. That is piece I would use if I needed covered skillet. The lid for the 8 qt. probably gets very close for the 10" skillet. We have not used it that way. One other answer says no and one says yes. Think they are both right.

I don't know. I do know it is too wide to fit the skillet I bought. Not snug enough! Sloppy to use.

Some of the Calphalon contemporary items are marked "dishwasher safe" both on the packaging and on the bottom of the item -- but there's a major BUT to this. You have to check the size of the item. For example, the 12" skillet, because of its flared sides, won't fit in my dishwasher. I have another item, not sure what it's called, a rectangular griddle pan that fits over two burners, with a similar problem. The handles are angled outwards and that makes it too long for my dishwasher. Smaller items, such as the 10" skillet, do fit and have been repeatedly washed with no difficulty or evidence of damage,

Michael, the one with 1 handle is a grill pan which I absolutely love!! The one with 2 handles is a regular skillet and not as deep. The 2 handle one is ok but not my favorite. I have both. You can use regular utensils on the one handle grill pan. The 2 handle skillet is not very forgiving. Hope this helps.

If I remember right, there is a sort of metal clasp sort of thing that you use that is built into the end of the handle in which you insert into the skillet in order for it to be secure. after you match the holes, you adjust the clasp so it secures it to the skillet.

It's a personal choice. Depends on how it looks best in your kitchen. Either way won't affect the functionality of the holder

Both the 8 inch and 10 inch lids fit my T-Fal "coated" 8 and 10 skillets...As to the stainless steel skillet, I don't know since my stainless skillet is a different brand...The inside rim of the lids fit inside the diameter of the pans and leave slight "wiggle" room...I have found that the fit is tight enough for the lid to collect steamy moisture during cooking and seals enough that contents do not boil out from under the lid...I have been pleased with the performance of these lids...I was grateful to find them...The outer rim of the lid rests on the outer edge of the skillet and this is where the "seal" is on my pans...I hope this helps!

PsPatil, that's a good question. The only Lodge Cast Iron pan I have is the æbleskiver pan and the Hot Handle Holder fit it perfectly.

Since I don't own this pan anymore I would be hesitant to say. You could probably send an e-mail to AllClad and ask them. Give specific model #s so they don't confuse it with the 5-Ply skillet. Sorry

The colored handle will melt if you touch it to a hot pan or burner. The Grey utensil part however is very high quality and doesn't melt at all. The little notch on the bottom of the colored part allows you to put the utensils on the counter top without the Grey part touching the counter it's very handy.

I have an old preseasoned Lodge skillet and I love it. It cleans up great. This square one, though, I hate. Things stick and I tried to reseason it but still things stick. I'm very disappointed in it.
