12 in. Cast Iron Skillet in Black with Pour Spout

A wonderful skillet. It is nice and big! Great for sauteing veggies for soup and holds a lot of burgers. I know I will have for life.

One of the best purchases ever

I waa quite pleased at how quickly tye product arrived and how it looked after unpacking. The weight was what I'd expected from cast iron, my biggest disappointment occurred when I was deglazing the skillet after cooking chicken breast. After pouring the sauce into a bowl after dinner to clean up, and washing and drying immediately, the was a scratch and rust, I only use wood or silicone utensils. And I thought the only inferior products where produced in China.

That is what happens after first cook and wash!!!!

This cast iron skillet is good for making beef burgers.

That's all we cook with is Cast Iron but, Unfortunately our pans our warn and need a real good cleaning before we put them on our new glass top stove from Home Depot.

I usually go car camping with a group of people and was using a 12” pan. I spent a long time cooking bacon every morning. This pan allowed me to cook around 3 lbs of bacon in one sitting. It fit perfectly on my tripod as well.

17 in. Lodge Cast Iron Skillet. I am happy with this purchase. It is a good price on a good product. Would buy again and recommend.

Skillets are something I have become more familiar with the past year or so. I purchased this as my first cast iron skillet and I have been very pleased with it. I will admit after purchasing, I was intimidated by it for a long time and I didn’t even attempt to use it. After I read a few instructions online, I went for it. I started off by washing it with soap and water and thoroughly drying it. After that I seasoned it with Flax oil (recommended on some article off google) and placed it in the oven for an hour at a low heat. Once I prepped it, I used it for the first time the next day by searing salmon. To my surprise, the iron skillet lived up to it’s reputation of being a good quality pan that heats up and cooks food properly and evenly. Since it’s cast iron, it is a heavy skillet and once you add food to it, you need to make sure you have a good grip on the pan when needed. I bought a cute handle muff protector because I made the mistake by grabbing the handle and burning my hand. I do appreciate the skillet has a long handle and a short one so you can feel secure when carrying it. The 12” is large enough to fit a couple steaks or pieces of salmon. It is definitely large enough for my needs. It if it was any larger I think it would be too difficult for me to handle. I almost am thinking of getting a smaller one to bake cookie skillets in. Altogether the quality of the Lodge Iron skillet is amazing and I know it will last decades. A note of advice, don’t get discouraged with the pan! It does require some extra attention and steps in the beginning but the more you use it, the more the oils create a non-stick effect that will last years. Youtube is a great reference for initial “seasoning” steps. This pan will change your life!
