    My chicken fryer is only about 2.5 inches deep, maybe 3 and is a larger diameter than the dutch ovens I have. Would do a couple of steaks the same though.

    Use it alot,is sort of an aging process,clean it with nothing more than hot water and a brush,takes time.

    That lid looks familiar. Is the DO marked?

    You can instantly season your cast iron. Turn on your stovetop on high. After it gets red hot, place your skillet on it for 3 minutes. Remove it from the hot eye and pour olive oil on it, then wipe it all around with a wad of paper towels. Let it cool for a couple of minutes, then apply a generous amount of butter to the cooking surface. It will then be so non-stick, that it will be hard to get the spatula under what ever you're cooking. After this process, don't use soap to clean your pan, until you feel that you need to. If you need to use soap, just repeat this process afterwards.
