The round handle is hard to keep from turning in your hand when you tilt the frying pan to pour grease out, or to ease an omelet on to a plate, etc.

The most common cast iron frying pans here in Sweden have exactly that handle design, and I found how bad it was the first time I used one. frown

The handle below is much better -- although, as noted, longer would be better. Round is bad though -- these pans (with contents) are heavy, and hard to keep from turning in your hand when you least want them to!
