Nach anfänglicher Skepsis hat sich die Pfanne zur absoluten Lieblingsofanne entwickelt. Je öfter man sie benutzt umso besser wird sie.

I have been looking into cast irons for awhile now but could not decide between buying lodge for what I consider is a very fair price or investing money into something vintage.I was expecting this cast iron to be rough and difficult to season but I can say after using a few times I am extremely pleased and impressed with this pan. The surface is smooth with no pitting or raised bumps. After receiving the pan I washed it and seasoned with grape seed oil in the oven for an hour. After every cook I coat the pan in a very thin layer of oil and I can say I have almost zero sticking.I highly recommend the lodge skillet to anyone wanting to start using cast iron but are unsure of what they want.

Heavy, good quality, holds heat really well. Great for cooking meat. Treat it well and it'll last as long as your granny's! There are instructions on how to clean it, follow them! I made the moronic mistake of leaving it on the stove and cooked all the seasoning off🤦♀️ but it was very easy to reseason it back to how it should be. Never rusts unless you burn off all the seasoning.

I recently purchased this cast iron skillet, and I'm impressed with its good quality - pretty heavy! It has made a noticeable difference in the flavor and texture of the food. So far, we've used it for steak, salmon, shrimp, and lamb, and everything turned out better than a regular skillet. Highly recommend it!

I needed a new cast iron frying pan, so I looked at every review and decided to get this one. It comes seasoned, but I ended up seasoning it myself, twice. I'm so satisfied with this cast iron frying pan! And I love the silicone handle!!It's.Durable, and you can cook on the stove top, or use in the oven. It's deep enough to fry french fries or chicken. Or you can you use it in the oven as a casserole or even to bake bread!Every time I use it I make sure to wash it and then I use olive oil in it and rub it all around... Then using a paper towel cleaning the excess oil. Voila! Ready for your next meal! I'm happy it works so well!

I love this pan so much! I can't believe I spent so many years of my life without a cast iron pan. Fact is, I just never understood how easy these are to cook with and maintain. Yes, you have to season it. Yes, that takes a little getting used to at first. No, it's not hard and really doesn't take much time to maintain. It's much easier than I thought it would be, and I love the way my food comes out!Once properly seasoned, this pan is as non-stick as any other pan I've ever used. I did the initial seasoning in my gas grill. That way you don't fill your kitchen with smoke. You can certainly use a regular oven if you don't have a grill. Give it a good 2-3 seasonings before using it to cook. There are plenty of articles and videos online explaining how to season a cast iron pan.As for the cooking, if you haven't used cast iron, you don't know what you're missing. The heat distribution and retention are amazing. For best results, make sure to pre-heat to your desired temp for several minutes before adding oil or food. Cooking with oil also helps maintain the non-stick surface, so the surface improves the more you use the pan. I've used this for steaks, fried/scrambled eggs, bacon, arepas, and shepherd's pie. I find myself looking for more recipes I can use it for. I haven't tried using it on my gas grill yet, but I'm eager to try. This thing makes me want to cook more!I like the 12-in size, though many people may prefer the 10.25-in version. I can prepare a NY Strip and a Fillet in this pan at the same time, with room to spare for a butter baste. It's a bit large for a 3-egg scramble, but still works well.The one down-side is the weight. You're not likely to flip an omelet with this puppy, unless you have very strong wrists. Of course, that's not specific to this brand - it's a cast iron thing. Maybe the 10.25-in version would be easier to handle for some purposes. That said, this pan feels like it's going to last for generations to come.Oh, and if it seems like I'm being sponsored by Lodge, please know that I'm not. I'm just a regular guy sharing his thoughts about a product I truly enjoy using. Happy cooking!

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.

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.
