   very good cast iron pan, pre seasoned so ready to use. heavy, well made, will last a long time. gets plenty of heat transferred to the food even on low heat, takes a while to heat up but what do you expect, lots of iron to heat. always use oven mitts when going to grab it, handle gets very hot. one small footnote, grab a ruler before you buy, it’s 8 inches in diameter outer lip, about 7 inches inside diameter, might be a bit small for some. otherwise great product

   It gets better every time, 22 Mar 2011

   When I first received this skillet I was ecstatic. That is, till I tried to cook my first omelette! I wouldn’t say that it was a disaster, but it certainly wasn’t what I expected. I should point out that I am new in the cast iron sport, if I may call it such. Various articles throughout the Internet convinced me that teflon is bad (at least for parakeet) and cast iron, with a bit of care, can do wanders. I was so hyped that the sight of stuck egg on the skillet was a big let down. But, I didn’t give up and I was finally rewarded.
   I trusted the company and did not season the skillet myself. After six or seven omelettes and a batch of fried potatoes, I finally notice that my skillet has acquired the long sought anti-stick properties that everybody seems to advertise, yet nobody tells the whole truth. The truth is:
   1. With every time I cook, my cast iron skillet gets better and better.
   2. It needs more attention than the teflon or inox pans, but this is really not a great problem. On the contrary, it gives you a certain feeling of bonding and, might I also dare say, love for this skillet.
   3. It reaaaaaally takes some time to heat up. I do it gradually, starting with 1/10 and climbing to 6/10 on my ceramic oven top. I dare not go higher, lest my skillet cracked.
   4. Believe me, it is heavy, even if it is a tiny 8″ skillet. No more theatrical tossing of omelettes in the air, I just use a spatula.

   *** Update ***
   Today the skillet was unbelievable. I even tossed the omelette in the air, it was better than teflon!!!

   a little winner, 27 Oct 2009

   Hi there,
   You want a light weight cast iron skillet with all of the advantages.

   Easy clean – Even heating – Good cooking – Non-stick after seasoning (and that’s so easy) Value for your hard earned cash. Look no further you’ve found just what you are looking for.. Ideal for one or small portions for two.

   I think “Lodge” are onto a winner here. I just think their cookware is the bees knees. It should last forever and a day with proper care. Handles do get rather hot but an oven glove or handle protector, easily and cheaply available,will solve that little problem with no great effort.

   I’d be surprised if you ever regreted buying Lodge Cookware. It’s good.. It’s that simple..
