   • Traditional or enameled cast iron? First, if you’re new to cast iron skillets, you should know that these come in two finishes: traditional and enameled.
   • Is the size suitable? Next, you must consider if the size of the skillet is suitable for your needs. The size of each pan is generally given in inches — this represents the diameter across the surface and it can range anywhere from 3.5 inches all the way up to 20 inches.
   • Is there a pouring spout? Not all cast iron skillets offer this handy design feature. As the name suggests, a pouring spout makes it easier to pour things out of the pan, which is beneficial for draining fat and oils as well as controlling liquids you may want to keep.
   • How heavy is it? Cast iron skillets are always heavier than they look. Depending on the thickness and the size of the pan, these can weigh upwards of 22 pounds (10 kg), so it can be a lot to haul around.
