5.0 out of 5 stars Go Pro-Logic! Not Your Grandma's Cast-iron
I don't know why I never tried cast-iron cookware before. This stuff is awesome! I threw out all my old Teflon cookware in utter disgust. Lodge is the best quality at the most affordable price. It's heavy--heavy duty--lasts forever (pass it on to your great-great-grandkids)--you can even use it in a campfire (!?!) or your grill--you scratch the coating off, no problem, re-season! (Try that with Teflon.)Everyone has a different way of seasoning cast-iron. I ALWAYS pre-season and this is my way. Thoroughly scrub cast-iron with soap, water and a scouring pad (steel wool or whatever). Dry and heat to about 100 degrees F (warm--not hot--to touch). Spray the OUTSIDE (non-food side) of your cookware with a high-temp spray paint in 2-3 light coats (I use Krylon or Rust-oleum high-heat black gloss spray-paint for grills--but you could experiment with other colors if your fancy). This literally cuts in half the hassle of seasoning. Once dry, use any oil you like to coat lightly the inside (food side) of your cookware. Olive oil gets darker, canola oil a lighter brown, I hear CRISCO does great, but I've started using Tung Oil for fantastic results. Place in oven at 400 degrees F until it stops smoking. Let cool. Clean off any globs of cooked oil with a plastic scraper. Repeat the light oiling and baking. After about 4-5 thin coats your food-side cast-iron cookware will become black and glassy. The ultimate in non-stick coatings. Touch up paint or re-season as needed. Never use metal utensils on cast-iron. I have no problem using a small amount of dish-soap to clean them because I pre-season--that stuff is baked-on HARD!As a side note, the amount of smoke that comes off of seasoning your cookware is significant (the lighter coats the better). Drastic measures should be taken. Open windows, 2-3 large fans, vent-hoods, the works (I had to use a leaf blower the first time as I underestimated the amount of smoke). The smell is noticeable (at least to me) in my house for months even with all the precautions. Someone was giving away a used oven, so I hooked it up in my garage (I'm an electrician, so this is likely past the DIY average project) and roll it outside to season my cast-iron now. I've even used a propane grill to season, but be careful not to get it too hot or it just powderizes the seasoning right off.Even with all the extra set-up and maintenance, cast-iron cookware is the only way to go. Better heat conduction, even cooking, virtually indestructible, virtually rust proof, you get a fitness workout with large meals, and an easily reparable truly non-stick coating. Eternal culinary cookware work of art. Connect with your inner cowboy today.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful display
Bought as gift. I am not sure how it functions, cleans, rusts etc. because my mom just uses it as a display on her stove. lol. It does look beautiful there. The size is nice for a display. Having cast irons myself, I can tell it is great quality. It is slightly heavy, I think adding a leather sleeve would help with maneuvering due to its thinner handle. Seems to be a good value. Maybe one day mom will use it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!
Great pan. Needed investment as my other cast iron at 10" was just too small. I like the two side handles as well. And it was pre-seasoned!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pan, handle takes effort
Great pan. I have had it about a week and used most days. Easy to clean and keep seasoned. Perfect size for my family of six with nice high sides. Great for stir fry as I don’t have nor want a wok. It comes with a short handle that is difficult to grip with the oven mitts. There is a short handle opposite the main handle that really must be used to manage the pan. I will get more of these pans.
5.0 out of 5 stars Needs additional seasonings.
I use avocado oil because of the high smoke point and seasoned at 450 F. for 1 hour. I gave it a good 6 or 7 more, maybe 8. (only 3 or 4 on outside) You can see it totally shines and nothing will stick now but you still want to use a little oil/ butter when cooking. Factory seasonings are not the best and need to be supplemented. Awesome pan! I love Lodge. ; )
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money
Excellent value for money, solid cast iron, the rounded edges are a nice touch and easier to clean, I really enjoy using it and wholeheartedly recommend
4.0 out of 5 stars Costly and smaller rim to rim and smaller cooking surface.
The quality of this pan is good. It’s just not the capacity of Lodge’s other 12 inch pans. It has more of the appearance of a chefs skillet or a braiser. The sides are nicely sloped so getting things out is easier however the flat cooking service of this pan is only 8 1/4 inches. The inner rim to rim measurement is only 11 1/4 so I can’t understand why they call it a 12 inch. In the traditional Lodge skillets the cooking surface is 10 inches and rim to rim, it’s 12 inches. I was lucky enough to acquire the Lodge Bold 7 qt Dutch oven at a flea market, and that included the lid. The lid fits this pan perfectly - but it barely covers the rim of the traditional skillet and the pour spouts are not fully covered so there’s no tight seal. I also have traditional Lodge #12 pans, Dutch ovens and lids. From the early 1900’s to present and traditional Lodge lids fit them all and the pour spouts are covered. But they’re too large for this pan. So if you get this pan and you want a matching lid, get the Lodge Bold lid. But be ready to spend as much for the lid as you will for the pan. Many people buy Lodge cast-iron because they’re so affordable. However, the lodge bold series which is sold exclusively only on Bolo is a bit pricey. I can’t argue that the quality is there, but in this series it’s at a higher cost. As far as price goes, I rate it as mid line between modern day Lodge and Lodge Blacklock. Because of the size discrepancies and the cost I rate this less. For quality I will give it five stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars This skillet like all large products heats very evenly
It’s an excellent product fit and finishes wonderful but it is a bit heavy
Awesome product to purchase
As mentioned, the item is very good but extremely heavy. The food does stick on the pan but easy to scrape it off. I would recommend people to purchase this product but to be noted, you need to oil the pan after wash so as to not get the rust taste later on the food while cooking.
Poor quality control. Lodge isn't even a shadow of what it used to be. Avoid
Really poor quality control. It makes me wonder how Lodge outlived the holloware greats, Wagner Ware and Griswold.Preseasoning flaking off like cheap lacquer. The surface under the handle sharp enough to break skin and not at all deburred. I had to take a rotary tool to smooth it out and stripped the factory seasoning in lye bath and redo the process myself.Modern Lodge is a disgrace to "made in USA" products and if you want well priced quality American cast iron, get vintage Birmingham stove and range, or a nice three notch Lodge pre-1992. Don't waste your precious earned dollars here.

Pesa un montón, pero es de lo mejor que tengo en casa. Jugando con la intensidad de la Fuente de calor, puedes freír más lento, más rápido, marcar, tostar, etc etc
Indispensabile
Cosa dire di più di Lodge cast iron, cambierà il vostro modo di cucinare specialmente la carne, certo si deve pulire assolutamente a mano e trattarla con olio ma è una cosa che si fa molto velocemente e ne vale la pena
Perfect design
Love the round and smooth shape of this collection. Sturdy. Found some holes on surface.
