Amazon.com Review
Pancakes, eggs, and bacon somehow taste extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. Fry up a mess of catfish, roast a chicken, or bake an apple crisp in this generous 12-inch pan that features two handles for heavy lifting, and two subtle side lips for pouring. While the skillet comes preseasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations.--Ann Bieri

A must for most kitchens May 6, 2008
I've had my Lodge Cast Iron 12" pan for about 8 years now. I use it primarily for burgers, steaks, fried chicken, pancakes and cornbread (I don't make eggs and I bake my bacon). It goes from stove-top to oven back to stove-top without issue.

This thing gets heat and holds it. You are not going to be able to adjust the heat quickly by fine-tuning the burner. Well, you can heat it up OK, but just turning the burner down is not going to stop the pan from being hot. Only time will do that. (Quick tip - since this can potentially be a hazard, it's a good idea to wrap a washcloth or tea towel around the handle while it sits on the stove-top cooling off.)

Kawakami's 2-star review asks some good questions - and, so you know what camp I'm in: I used canola oil and high heat to cure mine; I use salt and oil to clean (water only hits the pan when I put in a tablespoon if I'm heating it up on the stove; when the water evaporates completely, I know it's ready for a burger); if the weather's not too warm I'll toss it in the oven at 500 to heat it up (too hot to do that in the summertime); I'll use tomatoes but only if I'm cooking them for 5 minutes or so; I've used wine in a reduction; and when I put it away I pour in a little canola oil, rub it all over with a towel or rag, then put 2 paper towels in and store it under the oven - and I have had no problems at all. No rust, no cracking, no flaking, no stripping of seasoning. Nothing.

It's great for searing, grilling, pan-frying and as a griddle. Its density makes it great for thawing flat cuts of meat, and its heft makes it a workable stand-in for "chicken-under-a-brick" if you find yourself without bricks. You can take it camping with you, if that's your thing (keep an old tennis racket cover around for that), and use it for 3 meals a day over a fire. This pan is a workhorse!

I would advise not relying 100% on the pre-seasoning, who knows how many hands it's passed through, what those hands touched, or if the coating given at the factory is sufficient? Instead, give it a quick scrub once you get it home, and then cure it like any other new piece of cast-iron. I did this with my pre-seasoned 10-inch pan, and have had no problems with it.

Another great thing about this pan - it's inexpensive! This is a pan that, if you're even considering trying, you can spend less than twenty bucks and give it a shot! If you don't like it, someone within your circle of friends should be happy to take it off your hands. I had a 5 qt. Lodge cast iron dutch-oven. I then obtained a porcelain enameled 6-qt one, and had no room to keep both. I put the old one in the basement of my building with a "free" note attached - and it got snatched up in 5 minutes!

Cast iron can't do everything, but it does a lot, and I highly recommend adding some cast iron cookware to your kitchen.

I love being able to cook on the stove, in the oven and on the grill with the same pan and the same great tasting results.

This pan isn't as funny as other pans We've had in the past. We were hoping it would tell a joke or two, like all the other reviews said it does. But it doesn't. In all honesty, it's driven Us to smoking cigarettes. We tried washing it with bacon, but it didn't take. Sometimes, when We get lonely, we go to the pan so that it will keep us company and tell us nice stories about the Past. But the pan just sits there in its bacon mess. We light a smoke.

I guess maybe Lodge Logic should've been a little more on the Truthy side with their advertising. It doesn't even have the wheels they promised, nor the Enticing Hat or Exposed Bones we were so thrilled about. It is just a pan. PAN.

PAN.

We'd have asked for Our money back, but We just couldn't find the words.

Love You.

Cast iron pan April 17, 2008

My wife loves this pan. It's a plus that this pan already comes pre-seasoned. It's a bit heavy but hey it's cast iron. This is a good value as these last forever with proper care not like the teflon coated pans which are dangerous to use when the coating eventually starts peeling (poison).Her only recommendation is to clean and dry it as soon as it cools.It becomes harder to clean if you let pan greases sit in it over night.If you lose the shine on this just coat it with a little vegetable oil and leave it in the oven with the pilot light on for a couple of days and it will be good as new.

I love my Lodge skillet. Never thought it would beat cooking a steak on the outdoor barby, but I now cook my steaks no other way. In fact, the taste and texture are the same as any of the best restaurants, including, for me, most recently, Capitol Grille, in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The service at home wasn't as good, though.
