Amazon.com Review
The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box. After cooking, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately.

Breakfast in particular somehow tastes extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching and sear meat at higher temperatures. A good all-purpose size at 10-1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, this skillet can fry up eggs, pancakes, steaks, chicken, hamburgers, and can bake desserts and casseroles as well. A helper handle aids in lifting, and the looped primary handle allows hanging. Two side spouts pour off grease or juice. Even though the pan comes pre-seasoned, applying a little vegetable oil before use helps prevent food from sticking. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

Excellent product and quick shipping
cast iron skillets are amazing and the one i got from the shipper was no exception. There was nothing amiss with my order (kind of hard to mess up a solid iron pan), and I'd totally buy from them again!

No problems
I actually bought mine at a local sporting-goods store because I didn't want to have to pay shipping on that much cast iron (you can get them at Wal-Mart, Academy Sports & Outdoors, and most camping stores in my area).

I read around first so I knew that "pre-seasoned" didn't really mean it could be used as-is, right out of the box (I also have my grandparents' small Wagner frying pan, which is glass-smooth, but only through 70 years of use. True seasoning doesn't come easily).

I seasoned it in the oven, the way I read about online, and have tried to maintain it, and so far it's worked great. I haven't had any problems with sticking as long as I'm careful to "lube" it properly before putting the food in. I'm looking forward to making cornbread in it and getting that crispy outside.

For the record, since I saw some people complained about it: Yes, the handle is that small. You've seen the picture. Mine is a 10.5 inch and it's heavy: I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand and it's a bit difficult for me to lift and tilt in one hand, so if you have hand problems, be aware of this. You will need good hot-pads.

excellent skillet
This a nice cast iron skillet. It's a really good size. Perfect for making corn bread.

Can't beat the price.
