Now, no more using two or three skillets to fry fish, chicken, or taters. I love this thing! I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Outside the flame stays considerably cooler and I need to constantly rotate food around the pan. Even on the oversized burner its a pain.

Even on the oversized burner its a pain. Bigger the pan the longer it takes to preheat. Best way to preheat those large CI skillets is in the oven where your heating up the entire mass evenly - broiler works, too. Quickest way to warp a cast iron skillet is to hit it with high heat on the stovetop.
