Product Description
The Lodge Cast Iron 8-inch Skillet and Red Mini Silicone Hot Handle Holder is a multi-functional cookware that works wonders with slow-cooking recipes and all your favorite foods. This pre-seasoned Skillet works like a charm right out of the box. 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 chicken, or bake an apple crisp in this 8-inch pan that features a sturdy handle for heavy lifting, and two subtle side lips for pouring. While the skillet comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. The Lodge seasoning procedure is a multiple-step process in which the seasoning oil is applied via an electrostatic spray system that coats the cookware, then it's baked in commercial ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron.

The pre-seasoned feature of this cast iron skillet has saved me time and effort. I love that I can start using it right out of the box, and the seasoning only improves with each use, enhancing the flavor of my dishes over time.
The signature teardrop handle is not just an aesthetic touch; it's practical. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip, and the skillet's weight is well-balanced, making it easy to maneuver whether I'm using it on the stove, in the oven, on the grill, or over a campfire.
The versatility of this skillet is unmatched. From frying and sautéing to baking and grilling, it handles a variety of cooking techniques with ease. The even heat distribution ensures consistent results, whether I'm searing a steak or baking cornbread.
The durability of cast iron gives me confidence in its long-term performance. It's a kitchen workhorse that can withstand high temperatures and frequent use. The more I use it, the better it gets, developing a natural non-stick surface.
In conclusion, the Lodge 6-1/2 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet has earned its place as a kitchen essential. Its pre-seasoned convenience, teardrop handle design, versatility, and durability make it a reliable and cherished tool for my cooking adventures.
Here are just a few comments for future buyers.
First, it can rust so requires more care than the enameled pot. Don't forget to rub in some vegetable oil after cleaning with water and wipe dry. I didn't put enough oil in the first couple of weeks and I saw a small rust spot so I tend to leave in some oil to season instead of wipe excess off with paper towel.
Second, if you can, I recommend that you buy a matching lid. I read this from an earlier buyer and I found it to be an excellent idea. The lid keeps food smell off quite a lot even when frying fish (which tends to smell more than other food). It also allows you to use the skillet to cook food with liquid like bean soup or chilli. And it keeps the food warm for a long time, of course. A little note on the lid, though, is that if you want to fry something crispy maybe you shouldn't use it because water droplets from inside the lid will keep your food on the moist side, not crispy. Anyway, I like the lid - it's handy especially when sauteing vegetable.
Third, a little bit on the minus side is that space inside the skillet is quite limited. So you have to manuever your food around and it means you cannot cook a large dish. But you know what, I think this smallish size is good as it keeps me from making too much food and so preventing me from over-eating !! For example, you can fill up some veggie and fish or a pork chop inside this skillet and the food portion will be enough for one person. So it's like a food portion control device for me:-)
Fourth, don't leave your food inside the skillet after you finish cooking unless it has liquid. I accidentally left some broccoli, forgetting that a cast iron pan will keep the heat for long, et voila ! it burned.
Lastly, I like this pan because it doesn't need much oil when cooking and so it's good for your health. I only spray some oil in or put a little butter and the food and veggies is good enough. But of course, I like to leave some oil in after each usage so the pan is normally oily.
In summary, I think this pan is excellent value for money and I highly recommend it. The lid was more expensive than the pan itself but I'm glad I bought it as well. It was a good decision that I carried both the pan and the pot to Thailand !! (well, figuratively speaking, as they were checked-in:-)) They're worth the effort. I look forward to cooking with it more often in the future.
The 9 inch is fine for preparing food for one or two people. The pan is small compared to what I grew up with. Yet with the lid it's still on the heavy side. I knew that would happen but it doesn't really sink in until you lift it with food in it.
The lid handle gets hot, I need some kind of hook to pick it up with.
The lid has the spikes on the underside, so the condensation hits the lid and drips back down onto the food, keeps it moist when you want that. Makes it a little harder to clean, but no big deal. I use the chain-mail type scrubber, or coarse steel wood with no soap.
Still in the end this is a fine piece of cookware. The seasoning was fine as-is. There is a tiny flaw in the surface, a bump, I figure that's fine, proof that it's real and made by people. Lodge makes good stuff, and I've already put in my next order.
Some reviewers say that the food sticks. Well duh! Pre-seasoned doesn't mean you don't have to be patient for it to function like an old timer. Just wipe it with a paper towel after using it (scrape the food stuff off with a spatula if needed), unless it has to be cleaned (fishy smell...etc...). Do some extra seasoning too: I like to keep it at the lowest setting on the stove for a while with some avocado oil. Do that once in a while.
Cooking in iron is the best! Unless you need to de-glaze of course, then stainless steel or enameled cast iron.
Top reviews from other countries
After almost two months of use, I think this is pan gives great value for its price. The quality is definitely five-star, especially after it developed a layer of patina that makes it more non-stick. However, I have to take off one star simply because maintenance IS a hassle compared to stainless steel or enameled cast iron.
My usual process after cooking with this pan is to wait for it to cool down, and then scrub off any remaining food with a brush. I would then wash it with mild soap and wipe it down. After that, I would put it on the stove on low for about 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, and sometimes, I would add a layer of vegetable oil (per brand instructions). Overall, it adds another 10-20 minutes of cooking time for me, which is not ideal if I just wanted to make a quick breakfast.
Still, its small size makes it easier to maintain then its bigger cousins, so I didn't mind it so much. If you're thinking of getting a cast iron but are not sure if you can handle it, I think this is a good first cast iron pan to have.
