Well worth $8 for anyone out there who uses their CS.

    Oh that is nice, does the silicone slip on and off?

    I upgraded mine with the same handle. @PirateBill - I had to drive mine on with a hard rubber mallet. I mean beat it on with powerful blows!  =)

    Upshot though is I took it off which was equally a task before I threw that damn skillet in the metal re-cylcing bin!

    Yes, mine goes on and off easily.

    I picked up my lodge skillet at Costco and it came with that handle.  I too like it, I went to get another one, not that I needed it.  Sold out...

    1.  Why would one throw away a fine CS skillet?  

    2.  Why go through removing the handle of said skillet, if throwing it away?

    after 4 long seasoning attempts of 8 to 10 coats with every one resulting in gross failures I decided carbon steel on my electric stove just wasn't going to work for me. At least now I feel good that my pan has been recycled at a local wire maker and is keeping some farmer's cows in the pasture! =)

    For the price, Lodge CS is hard to beat.
    I like mine, a gift from my sis, it holds a permanent spot on the cooktop.

    I took it an unnecessary step further by sanding the finish, but I like the shallower, more tapered, sides.  Reminds me of my favorite CI Wagner Ware Chef's skillets.

    I saw them at Costco a little while ago thought the new slip on silicone grip would work great, right now I have silicone gloves and they work ok but they seem to get a little hot if I get the skillet above 300f.   pair my gloves with the new grip and I would be set.
