Can anyone here recommend a 10" skillet w/ lid?

[Humboldt]

My old one with steel lid finally popped the handle weld, so the handle is all wonky.
And I don't weld.

Just steel/steel and copper.

No non-stick.

Any suggestions?

I see super cheap to super expensive online, but most don't come with lids.

Thanks

I'd just shop around in local stores like TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls, or whatever equivalent you have there, they sometimes have great deals.

The cheap ones will be thinner/lighter most likely.

I think you just have to roll the dice. I've had some really inexpensive ones last for years and I've had some pricey stuff that died way too early. Although price isn't usually a guarantee of quality, it's a good place to start. All-Clad has a good reputation. We're actually looking to buy one of their sets in the near future.

Finex is a brand made in the USA (Oregon) many of their skillets come with covers.
I know I've seen some Lodge models also...I love coming across older Lodge models (the newer ones aren't as good)

Cast iron will last you a life time. I threw out my old skillets and got me one.

If kept seasoned, you will not have any problems with food sticking to it.

I purchased a Victoria brand which is pre-seasoned. (no chemicals)

I have this one. It did not come with a lid. I am checking with the company. I did save the same size lid from my old steel pan, so I use that if needed.

I prefer stainless or even ceramic non-stick to cast iron for indoor cooking, much lighter to handle, wash, etc. BBQ Grill grates and griddles are another story, cast iron seems to hold up best for me. Just my preference I suppose.

And get one of 'em "chain mail sponge" cleaners for the cast iron pan...
Tis all I use after cooking, with hot water..never with soap. I just heat the pan up a little bit to try it after.
A nicely seasoned cast iron pan works great!

I would never do that. Besides, I don't own a dishwasher. I hate them. LOL
