The skillet I always wanted!
Well my skillet and glass lid arrived today in two different deliveries. I almost immediately tried cooking some bacon just to test it out. I put the bacon in the pan and let it heat to medium. According to what I had read online, that would let the bacon render, prevent curling, and make sure it wouldn’t stick. When it was time to flip the strips over, I learned that they were pretty much adhered to the pan. I had to scrape it up in little bits.Refusing to be defeated by a pan, I carefully cleaned it with hot water and scrubbed to get off all the stuck bits. Then, I followed the directions to do the stove top seasoning method two times. Once it was cooled all the way, I decided on a major test. I cooked four more strips of center-cut bacon, two over easy eggs, and a kimchi pancake for supper. NOTHING stuck! Everything came out of the pan looking like it had been prepared for a magazine photo article. I waited for the pan to cool down completely, took it to the sink, and rinsed it with hot water. Then, I wiped it dry with a paper towel before giving it a rub down with a nearly non-existent coat of canola oil. It is now sitting on the stove waiting for my next adventure.I am 100% satisfied with this skillet so far. I do caution other buyers to just pretend it is not “pre-seasoned” and season it. These are the instructions I followed:Seasoning your cast iron skillet on the stovetop is a simple process that builds up a protective layer of polymerized oil, making it naturally non-stick and preventing rust. Here's a quick guide:What you'll need:Your cast iron skilletHigh smoke point oil like canola, grapeseed, or avocado oilPaper towelsTongs (optional)Steps:Wash and dry your skillet. Scrub away any food residue with warm water and dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with paper towels or heat it on the stovetop over low heat for a few minutes to evaporate any remaining moisture.Heat the skillet over medium heat. Let it get nice and hot for about 5 minutes.Pour in a thin layer of oil. About 1 tablespoon should be enough for a 12-inch skillet. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom and sides evenly.Wipe out the excess oil. Use a paper towel to spread the oil around the pan in a thin, even layer. You don't want any pooling oil.Heat the oil until it smokes. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on it and adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning the oil.Turn off the heat and let the pan cool. The oil will polymerize as it cools, creating the seasoned layer.Repeat steps 3-6 two or three more times. Each layer builds upon the previous one, creating a stronger and more durable seasoning.Wipe away any excess oil and store your skillet. Once the pan is cool, use a paper towel to wipe away any remaining oil. Store your skillet in a dry place.

The media could not be loaded.
 After doing much research and watching videos, I decided to jump into cast iron and I am so happy I did. I followed the suggestions and videos to a good seasoning and this 12 inch Lodge accepted it all, great pan! After several seasoning layers, I attempted my first eggs and sure enough, they did not stick! I added one tablespoon of butter on a low heat and my eggs were slipping and a sliding, I am impressed. I will be purchasing the 10 inch next.

I did want to mention the red high heat sleeve is worthless, the pan is too heavy for it to be of any use. The pan will slip and turn on it and can be a hazard, I would avoid it if frying anything. Be cautious!

Purchased this to make chicken pot pie in it and it works perfectly. Size is just right, the handle cover fits well and does the job. The pan goes from stove top to oven and as long as I clean it and immediately dry it, it should never rust (so far it hasn't at all). The non-stick coating was a nice touch.

Bought this particular skillet because lodge cookware is well known for its high quality. It’s heavy but it cooks really well, easy to clean and seasoned. Plan on keeping it for years and years.
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
I love cooking with cast iron--the even heat distribution, the ability to cook at high temperatures, the way it creates a hard sear--cast iron is the best, imho. This pan specifically is a good size for cooking for a small family. It can handle 2-3 large chicken breasts or steaks, approximately 1/2-3/4 lb of bacon or a bunch of veggies. It was easy to season and clean up is a breeze with hot water and a scrub daddy.

The reason for the 4 stars? The wimpy little red handle is useless. It doesn't fit properly and moves around when the handle is being used which is potentially dangerous. Do yourself a favor and buy a sturdier silicone piece or invest in good potholders.

This is my new go to pan. It seasoned up quickly and one night I cooked hot sausage patties. Those took the seasoning over the top, I don't think anything will stick again. And it browns food like no other. I even seared filet mignon in it and put it in the oven to finish. The outside was textured perfectly. I tried pizza in this pan and it came out delicious. I don't know if I'll ever use my grill again.

High smoke point oil like canola, grapeseed, or avocado oil
Paper towels
Tongs (optional)
Steps:
Wash and dry your skillet. Scrub away any food residue with warm water and dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with paper towels or heat it on the stovetop over low heat for a few minutes to evaporate any remaining moisture.
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Let it get nice and hot for about 5 minutes.
Pour in a thin layer of oil. About 1 tablespoon should be enough for a 12-inch skillet. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Wipe out the excess oil. Use a paper towel to spread the oil around the pan in a thin, even layer. You don't want any pooling oil.
Heat the oil until it smokes. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on it and adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning the oil.
Turn off the heat and let the pan cool. The oil will polymerize as it cools, creating the seasoned layer.
Repeat steps 3-6 two or three more times. Each layer builds upon the previous one, creating a stronger and more durable seasoning.
Wipe away any excess oil and store your skillet. Once the pan is cool, use a paper towel to wipe away any remaining oil. Store your skillet in a dry place.

5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor sarten disponible de acero fundido, con los debidos cuidados no querras usar otro!
Reviewed in Mexico on August 30, 2018
Este tipo de sartenes tiene mas de 100 años de historia, es impresionante que tanto su uso como el proceso de fabricacion no ha cambiado mucho. El usar uno de estos sartenes puede ser retador, sobretodo por su preparacion o curacion, asi como el estricto cuidado que debes tener para garantizar un optimo funcionamiento, asi como su durabilidad.

Existen muchos videos sobre diferentes tecnicas empleadas para su curacion, pero aqui como en muchos otros casos, lo mas simple es lo mejor.

Comparto lo que me ha resultado para su curacion, y poder explotar al maximo la versatilidad del sarten, asi como el generar una capa antiadherente natural.

1. Limar con una lija de agua de grano fino todo el sarten, por adentro, afuera, orillas, y mango. Con este procedimiento se asegura uno de retirar todo el precurado con el que viene, que hace que se sienta rugosa la superficie, y que aun precalentandolo, los alimentos se termina pegando y resulta en una experiencia frustrante.

2. Enjuagar con agua fria y con un poco de jabon usando una esponja para quitar todo el polvo, es ideal que la apriencia del sarten sea suave al tacto, pulida y lo mas lisa posible.

3. El sarten se debe colocar sobre la hornilla a temperatura media para asegurarnos toda el agua y humedad desaparezcan. Siendo de acero fundido, el agua y la humedad son sus peores enemigos.

4. Agregar poco menos de una cucharadita de aceite de oliva, canola o linaza. Estos aceites recubren , protegen y no se echan a perder con el tiempo, garantizando la superficie antiadherente, asi como evitan transferir olores o sabores a los alimentos. Frotar el aceite con un trapo por todas las usperficies del sarten, y con otro trapo retirasr el exceso. Una vez completado este paso, y teniendo precalentado el horno a 200 grados se debe colocar el sarten siempre boca abajo por 30 minutos, dejando el aceite se consuma de forma ntaural. Al terminar el tiempo, retirar el sarten con mucho cuidado, y de nueva cuenta agregar aceite siguiendo la descripcion anterior. Esto debe hacerse al menos unas 3 veces cuando el sarten es nuevo, despues solo sera necesario 1 vez segun el uso que se de.

5. Dejar el sarten enfriar y revisar al tacto la superficie, debera sentirse lisa, con un aspecto templado y ennegrecido. Esto es normal.

Como cuidados basicos, una vez terminado de cocinar en el, nunca pasar al agua fria, pues puede sufrir daños por los cambios de temperatura, lo ideal es solo enjuagar con agua caliente, una esponja suave y secarelo sobre la hornilla. Aplicar un poco de aceite, quitar excesos, y calentar por completo en la hornilla. Siguiendo este proceso, tu sarten durara por muchos años, ofrecinedote sabores unicos, y una versatilidad de usos.

Muy recomendable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but well finished product.
Reviewed in India on December 10, 2018
Expensive, but a beautifully finished product. Shipping costs are exhorbitant. Heavier than expected, pre-seasoned, effort required to clean. Belied the negative reports by some users; glad to have received a good piece. Silicone handle is somewhat loose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting!
Reviewed in Singapore on March 1, 2022
New user to cast iron skillet and honestly it's been interesting thus far. It's true that you need to put effort in seasoning the skillet and even after each use it's good to one-season. But with all the helpful info on the web you'll get used to the process once you start.

One thing I love about the skillet is the sear I get on meats and the fact that I can put it straight in the oven. Bought the 12" which looks and feels big BUT sufficient space to cook for the family.

Lovin it so far: )
