Amazon.com Review
Pancakes, eggs, and bacon somehow taste extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. Fry up a mess of catfish, roast a chicken, or bake an apple crisp in this generous 12-inch pan that features two handles for heavy lifting, and two subtle side lips for pouring. While the skillet comes preseasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations.--Ann Bieri

A better size for fish
Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned SkilletThe 12 inch skillet allows for cooking trout (and other fish) easier and usually without cutting them up too bad. It fits the burner fine and better than a 15 inch does. Like the 10-1/4 inch, it isn't as smooth as my old 50 year old one is though, and the 50 year old one was second hand when I got it. I would guess that this one will be just as good and smooth in say--50 years or so.

Cast iron is the way to go.
In the past year, I have become a total convert to cast iron cookware. I have a well seasoned 10" inch and needed a bigger skillet to sauté vegetables. The 12" was perfect. I was not used to the pre-seasoned finish that lodge provides. It works well, but not as beautifully as a home seasoned skillet with years of love. You know, the ones where you can tilt the skillet to the side and you food slides out. Hopefully, this skillet will get there but it's perfect for what I need it for now.
