Barbary & Oak BO800255GRN Cast Iron Round Fry Pan with Durable Enamel Interior, 26cm, Verdigris Green

First up, ignore the description of this cast iron frying pan; if you order one with the black interior this is clearly a classic cast iron pan, and not an enamel coated one.With this in mind, I first tried trying an egg on this pan initially with a drop of sunflower oil and, sure enough, it stuck all over the place, confirming my suspicion that there is no enamel coating present.After a wipe clean, I then brushed and rubbed in some general purpose vegetable oil all over the black interior surface, turned the heat up, and let the pan smoke for a good 10 minutes. This gave me a quick decent seasoning of the pan.“Take two” with the fried egg; didn’t stick at all! Have used it four times since then with eggs, sausages and even fried gyozas and nothing sticks at all.Besides the need for seasoning, the exterior of the pan is a strong blue colour with a good quality enamel finish. Weighs a ton and is very sturdy, as you’d expect!Highly recommended at the current bargain price of £18.

I purchased this two years ago and cook with it at least once a week. It still holds up well (see attached pictures for what it looks like today). It's great for making stews, soups, small casseroles, etc.The price is exceptional for its quality and when compared to other brands. I love the shade of blue too. Do ensure you handwash, I never put this in my dishwasher and recommend you don't either. Wholeheartedly recommend this product if you're looking for one.

The media could not be loaded. Great quality cast iron ( so heavy ) ceramic coated frying pan in cream colour exactly what we have been looking for for a while to match some existing cooking pots we already have .Also couldn’t find cast iron with the internal cooking surface that was ceramic as well as the external , which this does have , hurray.My point being we know theses type of cookware can be heavy but they are so much easier to cook with on our ceramic hob ( distributing the heat much more efficiently in our experience) and clean up.We’ve only used the 23cm pan three times at present but are more than happy with the quality so have ordered the griddle pan too. The glass like finish to the ceramic is great for being non stick and easily cleaned up with hot soapy water ( not dishwasher proof ) and made an omelette with very little oil needed .Outstanding value for money at £23.99 at time of review

Good quality pan and lovely colour. The only issue is that it is enamelled all over (except for the rim of the pan and the edge of the lid where they 'join') and this means that it slides around on my gas hob, so you have to hold on to it when stirring. Not a major issue for me, but others might find this tricky. Otherwise, a lovely pan.

I love the color, but it is heavy and burns almost everything. The lid doesn’t cover properly and the inside part of the pot gets stained by every food you cook. I have tried using baking soda and lime to take the stains off but nothing seems to work. Worst buy ever😩

This pan is great. Comes ready to go. Seasoned well and does everything that you would expect from a cast iron pan. I love the normal sized handle but I would suggest that you but some handle covers as it does get hot to the touch (no surprise there). Will buy other products from this company and highly recommend.

I have only prepared yoghurt with this, but it looks like it will be a game changer for me. Next: bread.It is heavy, which I personally don't mind, especially given its durability, versatility, and long warranty. Make sure you have something to grab it, it gets hot, but it is easy to hold by the two ears. Edit: I have baked bread multiple times already, and it was great since day 1.

Lovely pan,looks good,well made. The blue one is not enamelled inside despite what the description says. I seasoned it 3 times with vegetable oil, oven baking and on the hob. Tried an egg and stuck like glue. I will season once more but if it sticks its being returned. 2 stars as a lovely pan, not too heavy and well made at a great price.
