My fried chicken got burnt a tiny bit, it was still edible. But for a skillet that has never been used before that is better than great. Next time I cook I should get the hang of things and prevent that from happening. My mother and mother-in-law both cook with skillets that have been well seasoned, and I'm very happy to achieve the same with mine.
This pan is great. I bought a smaller one and fell in love with it, that I had to buy alarge one. Nexti am going to add a lid. It is great that It comes pre-seasoned, basically it is ready to use. It reminds me of grandma's house, grandma's always have a cast iron pan.

This mitt is wonderful with the iron skillet I purchased! It has definitely saved on the amount of burns I get from grabbing the handle without it!

Scrub (without soap) first, let dry, add 1 large bottle of peanut oil, heat and french fry 2 or 3 pounds of potatoes to season Dutch Oven, and you're all set to cook your favorite recipes. The top will also fit the 10-1/2" round griddle plus regular skillet - very kewl.
I recently purchased my first Lodge cast iron pans. Four 7" pans and they were SUPER! Just like I remember my grandma using. They came already seasoned, no need to do it yourself and they are SO quick to clean up. Nothing sticks, everything cooks so evenly that Im cleaning out all of my old nonstick pans, which cost me ten times more than these. I couldn't wait to get my griddle in the mail and boy does it make great pancakes! French toast too, as well as eggs, sandwiches, anything that doesn't require high sides. I will continue adding Lodge pans to my collection!

I bought this Lodge Dutch Oven because it was recommended by Cooks Illustrated and for the color. It is beautiful, but was disappointed upon opening to see that it was made in China. This fact needs to be made prominent in the Product Features or Product Details. It is insufficient to bury this information in the Product Description. There are plenty of people, including myself, that do not want to buy products, especially cookware, made in China.
I've had this griddle for about 2 months now. This is my first cast iron piece and I'm quite impressed by the quality from Lodge Logic. I was introduced to the brand from early seasons of Alton Brown's Good Eats program.
Cast iron is great for grilling meats because it can retain and distribute heat evenly. Love the sound of meat searing and grill marks? Look no further. It's also excellent for pancakes, bacon, and eggs. All you need is a little bit of grease on top to prevent sticking and reduce cleanup. I either use a small pad of butter or cooking spray, depending on what's cooking.
The size is ideal for my kitchen stove top, as it can sit on top of and receive heat from two burners. You might want to measure the separation ... Read More:
I hated my mother's cast iron skillet, it was so big and heavy, but she had to feed a family of nine. Now I am getting reaquainted with cast iron, and wish I hadn't stayed away so long. The 8" is perfect for me, not so much heavy, as solid. Heats pretty quick, clean up and care is simple. I have left teflon on the burner before and am not surprized that the horrid smell is also toxic. I'd rather have the added iron in my diet instead of teflon or alluminum. It's easy to see why Lodge has stood the test of time, quality and affordability together are hard to find! Quick shipping too! Two forks up!
First of all let me say that I only use cast iron and stainless steel cookware. I don't use aluminum (brain damage) or non-stick (carcinogenic) cookware ever. Cast iron cookware takes years to season because it has to smooth out from use and the deposit of microscopic carbon molecules. Because of that pre-seasoning is kind of useless. I think every cook should have 3 pieces of cast iron: A grill pan, a dutch oven and a frying pan. If you can't cook it in one of those, it probably can't be cooked.
As far as the lid goes; it fits tightly on the Lodge Logic 12" frying pan. I wouldn't say it's an essential item (especially if you have a dutch oven) but it's nice to have. I think the price is too high considering that the frying pan (with more metal) ... Read More:
