L10SK3ASHH41B Cast Iron Skillet, Pre-Seasoned, 12-inch by Lodge

Absolutely excellent product. I have 3 now, two large and one small. I had always bought cheap and replaced often, which in the long run works out more expensive and there is no comparison in quality. Even when the cheap pans are knew, they don't work as well as these. I love how I can get the pans really hot and get a good sear on meat. No scrubbing to get them clean either. I always use a paper towel to dry them straight away, as they can tend to leave a little black residue on a tea towel and rub a little cooking oil in to keep them seasoned. I think I'll be passing these down to the next generation.

This is the best item I bought for my kitchen. Food is tasty and incredible like in the childhood. I want to buy the pot as well

Impressed with the 12” skillet. Cooks 5 large eggs in one pan. Takes abit of effort to season the pan but once done. Be good for many years to come. Cooks meal for a family of 4. Delivery was quick and well packaged

Nice and strong... very sterdy . A must have if a serious bbq person . Good in size .. just right weight .

Great piece of cookware. Ready to use straight out the box, I haven’t got around to seasoning it myself yet and despite this it’s still got decent non stick. It is very heavy (as expected) but lifting from both sides of it makes it easy enough to lift. One thing is I wish there was a little silicone protector for the small side handle as well as the main handle but you can still just use an oven glove/ tea towel and it’s fine. Very well made, fun to cook with and allows for even cooking.

The best cast iron pan I’ve had .. I washed it using water and a green kitchen scourer which cleaned it too much so now I use a kitchen nylon brush with water and it’s very non stick. It’s our go to pan for big veggie meals.

I love using a traditional pan, tried and tested for centuries across many cultures. The weight (it really is very heavy) is not for everyone. It does not behave like teflon. On the good side you don't need to be worrying about the harm it may do you (especially if over heated), on the bad side, things do stick sometimes, even when it's well treated. The natural approach does take more work, although it's not very demanding! Just clean, wipe with a temperature tolerant oil, such as avocado, and pop in a hot oven for an hour or so. The non-stick coating is restored!

I’m surprised by the quality of this pan. Can’t wait to start cooking in it

Este tipo de sartenes tiene mas de 100 años de historia, es impresionante que tanto su uso como el proceso de fabricacion no ha cambiado mucho. El usar uno de estos sartenes puede ser retador, sobretodo por su preparacion o curacion, asi como el estricto cuidado que debes tener para garantizar un optimo funcionamiento, asi como su durabilidad. Existen muchos videos sobre diferentes tecnicas empleadas para su curacion, pero aqui como en muchos otros casos, lo mas simple es lo mejor. Comparto lo que me ha resultado para su curacion, y poder explotar al maximo la versatilidad del sarten, asi como el generar una capa antiadherente natural. 1. Limar con una lija de agua de grano fino todo el sarten, por adentro, afuera, orillas, y mango. Con este procedimiento se asegura uno de retirar todo el precurado con el que viene, que hace que se sienta rugosa la superficie, y que aun precalentandolo, los alimentos se termina pegando y resulta en una experiencia frustrante. 2. Enjuagar con agua fria y con un poco de jabon usando una esponja para quitar todo el polvo, es ideal que la apriencia del sarten sea suave al tacto, pulida y lo mas lisa posible. 3. El sarten se debe colocar sobre la hornilla a temperatura media para asegurarnos toda el agua y humedad desaparezcan. Siendo de acero fundido, el agua y la humedad son sus peores enemigos. 4. Agregar poco menos de una cucharadita de aceite de oliva, canola o linaza. Estos aceites recubren , protegen y no se echan a perder con el tiempo, garantizando la superficie antiadherente, asi como evitan transferir olores o sabores a los alimentos. Frotar el aceite con un trapo por todas las usperficies del sarten, y con otro trapo retirasr el exceso. Una vez completado este paso, y teniendo precalentado el horno a 200 grados se debe colocar el sarten siempre boca abajo por 30 minutos, dejando el aceite se consuma de forma ntaural. Al terminar el tiempo, retirar el sarten con mucho cuidado, y de nueva cuenta agregar aceite siguiendo la descripcion anterior. Esto debe hacerse al menos unas 3 veces cuando el sarten es nuevo, despues solo sera necesario 1 vez segun el uso que se de. 5. Dejar el sarten enfriar y revisar al tacto la superficie, debera sentirse lisa, con un aspecto templado y ennegrecido. Esto es normal. Como cuidados basicos, una vez terminado de cocinar en el, nunca pasar al agua fria, pues puede sufrir daños por los cambios de temperatura, lo ideal es solo enjuagar con agua caliente, una esponja suave y secarelo sobre la hornilla. Aplicar un poco de aceite, quitar excesos, y calentar por completo en la hornilla. Siguiendo este proceso, tu sarten durara por muchos años, ofrecinedote sabores unicos, y una versatilidad de usos. Muy recomendable!

I'm very pleased with this skillet. It is exactly what I expected. When maintained according to the instructions it is nearly non-stick. It does require a bit more effort to clean than a Teflon pan since it should be washed, dried and oiled after each use. Still, because of the expected longevity of this type of skillet it's worth the effort. The only negative factor is that the pan is quite heavy. That's both a good and bad thing. It's good for holding heat but it's too heavy to easily carry with one hand.

Pfanne ist sehr gut, aber auch schwer.

Expensive, but a beautifully finished product. Shipping costs are exhorbitant. Heavier than expected, pre-seasoned, effort required to clean. Belied the negative reports by some users; glad to have received a good piece. Silicone handle is somewhat loose.

Very good quality and construction - we are very pleased. I previously returned a Logostina Cast Iron fry pan to my local store as it was heaved in the middle. If you add oil & eggs they would flow to the outer wall. (all the ones on the shelf in the store had the same flaw) I then research a lot of pans, and was pleased when I received my Lodge cast iron fry pan (especially without seeing it). Perfectly flat, cooks as cast iron should. We've only had it a couple weeks, but have successfully cooked schnitzel, an omelet, grilled cheese & fried rice. We plan to use it in the oven, over the stove, bbq, and cook over the fire while camping. My next purchase is a cast iron dutch oven, and I will definitely buy it from Lodge. Really happy that it is made in USA & as stated on their website: "All our Seasoned Cast Iron and our Seasoned Carbon Steel products are manufactured in the USA and always will be". (vs China... and many question China made cast iron could possibly containing lead).
