Lodge Logic 10-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet

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

OMG! This is awesome. - Rahul Nair, Apr 04, 2008

I have had this for more than a month now, and it is amazing! The first time I cooked on it, it was a little sticky. From the second time it has worked perfectly. It has worked great and works much better than similar prized non-stick utensils. At this point I can cook eggs with minimal oil on the pan. This is perfect for high temperature cooking. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who saute's/fry's on a skillet. I never thought that it would be as good as it is. As for maintenance, I wash it using a sponge and dish washing soap, dry it and spray some cooking oil on it, that's it. I don't think it needs as much care as some other reviewers claim.

Used this pan for an omelet and it turned out perfectly. Also reviewed the 12 pan in more detail.

The Best - Norma Lehmeierhartie, Mar 05, 2008

I have three of these skillets: 8", 10" and 12". They are absolutely wonderful! I know Lodge recommends no soap, but I use mild soap, anyway. I dry them after washing and when necessary, lightly coat with canola oil from a spray can.

I can do anything in my cast iron pans--including flipping an omelet!

Nothing beats cast iron for its superior cooking surface. I like to cook at very high temperatures at times, either to sear meat or to caramelize vegetables and nothing handles the heat like cast iron.

Be warned, however--this is a heavy pan. I usually scoop food out and place onto a dish. I use two potholders to carry it with both hands to the sink. It's worth the effort.
