5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality and cooks well

W. · 13 April 2025

I've been very impressed with this product, I can imagine that provided it's looked after well it's going to last a very long time.As you'd expect, it's worth seasoning the pan when you get it and after that just a bit of oil after each use should keep it in good shape.I've mostly used it for cooking steaks and have had very good results, at this price point (~£50) I'm happy with the quality and the way it cooks.Works just fine on my induction hob.

These are great frying pans, have been using them for several years now, indestructable and non stick once full seasoned. Would never go back to Teflon!! Can recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, solid pan!

I bought this for cooking taleggio mushrooms in our Gozney Roccbox and it works a treat. We already have Le Creuset skillets and whilst they're fabulous, too, unless they're uncoated they're no good for an extremely hot pizza oven as the flame and heat will damage the enamel. This is a strong, heavy, solid alternative which worked a treat. Very well made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic pan but a few points need to be noted

N.E. · 21 February 2020

Like most people I've gone through my fair share of non stick pans and skillets in the past and really wanted a long term option that was going to improve the taste of food and the way it was cooked.I wasn't too concerned about cost due to spending a lot of money on pans in the past, then having to replace them after a while, which is really a false economy.Lodge, a US brand, have a great name for quality and you can literally use them on anything from camp fire to barbecue to stove.I've had mine for about 6 months now, enough time for a decent review and have to say it's been excellent and somehow it seems to make the food taste better (could just be in my head !)A couple of points to be aware of though, the pan is heavy! I'm 6 foot 2, average build and it can get difficult to manoeuvre when dishing out of it. Not a major problem as you can bring your plate to it instead but that might not work for you all the time.My wife who is 5 foot 3 and quite petit, cannot realistically dish up with this pan.Another point is, make sure you keep this pan well seasoned.Using oil to cook with it all the time kind of defeats the point, when it is seasoned well you need very little oil, if any to cook even the trickiest of foods, like fried eggs. Seasoning the pan is straight forward enough, a little olive oil on kitchen towel, rub all over the inside and outside of the pan, then put in the oven on 200c for an hour.Job done.If you don't do this, food will stick or you will have to use a lot of oil. Both of these reasons means you won't get the most out of the pan and defeats the object of having it in the first place.Lastly, it gets hot, really hot. I currently have the recommended silicone handle on it (see Silicone Handle review) and this is okay but definitely doesn't allow you to pick the pan up without an oven glove after half an hour of using it, which again isn't a problem but there could be a better solution.I have recently looked into the leather 'Lodge' handle cover which is supposed to be absolutely brilliant for the heat distribution but also about £20.That would however be worth it for a life time of oven gloveless pan use, with no burnt hands !I'll review this when I get it.I have concentrated on the more negative points but only because these are the niggles that stop it from being the best utensil in your kitchen, ever!However, from a positive perspective I will say that it's the best pan/skillet I have ever owned.The heat distribution gives you the consistency and control you realise you need to get the food cooked thoroughly and as said above, it just seems to make everything taste that much better.Especially when cooking Steak, the quality immediately becomes evident, being able to get from rare to well done with accurate consistency, making the pan well worth the money alone for that reason in my eyes.

Really good pan, pre seasoned, not had any issues with anything sticking, even eggs. Just make sure to get it hot before adding food

5.0 out of 5 stars Was initially wary but now I love it

I bought this cast iron skillet as I was fed up of replacing non-stick pans and thought that it would be much harder for the family to destroy this one. This is the first cast iron pan I have owned and was a little wary at first so I did a bit of research on YouTube. I did not pre-season the pan as it looked fine with the Lodge pre-seasoning so I just gave it a thorough scrub before the first use. The first thing I cooked was bacon as I had heard that that was a good thing to cook in a new cast iron pan. The bacon cooked wonderfully, so full of flavour. It is simple to wash out. Just a rinse and scrub with plain hot water (no washing up liquid) using a grill pan brush, a warm on the stove to get rid of any moisture and then a quick wipe over with a tiny bit of oil with kitchen paper and it is ready for the next use.I have cooked all sorts in it, even eggs. It is great for cooking things on the stove and then putting in the oven or under the grill to finish off and meat always seems to taste better than the equivalent cooked in teflon. The handle does get hot as it is made of cast iron too but a Le Creuset handle glove fits very well and takes care of accidentally grabbing the hot handle. Cast iron does take a different sort of care than non-stick pans but one soon gets into a routine. It needs preheating to bring it up to the correct temperature before use which can take a little time and after use it needs to be well dried and rubbed with oil before putting away.I am delighted with this pan and love cooking in it. The more I use it the better it seems to be. I am looking forward to expanding my cast iron collection in the future. Lodge seem to have a good reputation for their cast iron and this seems to bear out with my experience of this one.By the way, as these pans are solid cast iron, they are quite heavy. The helper handle helps when moving the pan around. However, make sure to wear an oven glove if using the helper handle as that will be hot too.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a bit heavy, and does require a bit of care, but well all worth it for the results you get.

I love this frying pan. It's very good quality. Food tastes better from an iron pan. It can crisp up food far better than any of my so called non stick pans. I used to replace the nonstick every year or so and I was always worried about chemicals if the pan got too hot. I don't have this worries any more and wish I'd bought this pan years ago.

Irrompible

The media could not be loaded. Sartén de hierro fundido de excelente calidad, vienen pretratada para empezar a cocinar desde el principio pero yo recomiendo hacerle un curado para mejorar la antihaderencia de la sartén.Las sartenes de hierro fundido son pesadas, básicamente porque son una plancha de hierro, si no te sientes cómodo con el peso no te gustará pero vale la pena probarlas, con un mínimo cuidado te olvidarás de comprar sartenes de por vida,las puedes meter en el horno sin problema, eso sí, la sartén tanto en el horno como en la vitro coge mucha temperatura por lo que se aconseja un trapo o un mango de goma para no quemarte.El curado de la sartén se debe hacer antes del primer uso para optimizar la antihaderencia de la misma, es tan fácil como calentar el horno a 200 grados y embadurnar la sartén con un papel de cocina con aceite y meter la sartén en el boca abajo durante una hora y dejarla enfriar en el horno, este proceso se puede repetir tantas veces como sea necesario.La antihaderencia irá mejorando con el uso de la sarten ten en cuenta que el primer día no vas a poder hacer un hueco frito sin que se pegue nada pero enseguida lo conseguirás, es indispensable el uso de una pequeña cantidad de aceite para cocinar en el caso de huevos o tortillas, el resto de alimentos como carnes o verduras no se necesita, ya que no se pegarán.El uso de la sartén es un poco especial pero nada complicado, hay que dejar calentar bastante la sartén y echar un chorrito de aceite o con un papel mojado de aceite y ya se puede cocinar sin miedo a que se pegue, muy muy importante, no se limpia con detergentes ni lavavajillas, si no se elimina la capa antihaderente de la sartén, para limpiarla déjala enfriar y con agua y un cepillo de limpia estupendamente

Fantastic eggs, crepes, stir fry and more!

An absolutely incredible pan! Works fabulously for:▪︎ eggs (prepared ANY WAY)▪︎ crepes and pancakes▪︎ stir fry▪︎ meat! Chicken breast, pork chips, salmon, shrimp, and tofuAnd I will be using it on many more foods!It comes pre-seasoned but they reccomend cooking something in oil on the first use.It's truly non stick pan and I adore that the handout it ships with informs you of all materials used to make the pan. Very transparent with their practices and clean materials.Tips they share on the handout/their site● slowly heat the pan to your desired temperature to ensure you don't crack the seasoning. I like to chop veggies while I wait.● the pan will release eggs/protein once it has cooked enough, don't flip too early!● I purchased the pan scrapers to get off any food debris. It's reccomended to clean this pan with a bit of soap or salt, then dry it completely and season it with oil. Easy to clean.This pan is something that will last a LONG time. It needs a bit more bit of care than a traditional non-stick, but it is SO WORTH IT!
