Lodge L8SKL Cast Iron Pan, 10.25", Black

Perfect size, cooks food beautifully, easy to clean and just what I needed. I love to cook filet mignon in it, comes out perfect every time. Love the sear it give my steak. Can't go wrong with Lodge cast iron. I bought the pre-seasoned pan which is great. After each use, I wash it and apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the pan and it's ready for the next delicious meal.

I love distributing the weight between two handles instead one skillet handle. Easy to season and makes great cornbread ❣️

Most of my cast iron cookware is Lodge.Its easy to break them in and season them.Not bad first use not doing anything to it.But it does get better with use.The price isn't bad and the quality is great.Cast iron on a camp fire is a pleasure to cook with and it will soon be used for that.All said it is just what I would expect from a good pan.

I bought this pan to go from stove top to a small convection oven. (sear and then bake) The small handles not only make the pan fit into my little oven, but they make it easier for me to lift -- which has been a HUGE bonus.I've been using cast iron skillets exclusively until a few years ago. Weak, aging wrist issues made the heavy pans difficult to lift. But with these handles, one on each side, I am able to pick up the skillet to move it or even drain off excess grease with ease. I just make sure I use two potholders so I don't burn myself.

In another review, I complained about the packaging of this product when I received it a few days ago. Today Lodge gave me a satisfactory explanation in an email.I never had any experience with iron cast cookware before. But this does not create any difficulty in putting this skillet into good uses. I have cooked Costco steaks with it, and the result is excellent, better than most of the restaurant steaks I had before. The cooking process is very simple. Since I have done proper pre-seasoning, wiping the pan with kitchen paper is sufficient to clean the pan. No rinsing is required. Economically speaking this saves your expenses for steak restaurant right away.I have wanted to buy a toaster for toast and bagel but to be honest felt quite hesitant because minimalism is the principle of possession I hold now. It turns out that this skillet toasts bagel better than toast oven. Moreover, the cheese molten over the bagel taste so good.Next thing I want to try is to cook congee in a slow simmering manner. This skillet is likely ready for that, but I will put this task off until more steak sessions are carried out to give it a few more fat-coating cycles. Or perhaps I would just be reckless and do it anyway :-)The experience I got from using this skillet convinces to go for another Lodge: Dutch oven to compensate the shallower skillet.Notes: 1. preyseansonging it with flaxseed oil in the oven. 2. lid is highly recommended because it allows the steak to cool down so well. 3. 10 1/4" diameter is an excellent size for cooking for one or two.

I use it for everything. Had trouble seasoning it but it's slowly getting there the more I use it.

I’ve only had this for a couple weeks and was originally nervous because cast iron smokes up quite a bit, which I want to avoid (in order to not set off the smoke alarm in my apartment, which sends me into panic mode on rare occasions it screams).I ventilate the apartment while using it. So far, I made two batches of delicious shakshuka and chicken Milanese with terrific results — plus, there are usually leftovers since I live alone. The pan imparts fantastic flavor, caramelizing vegetables expertly, plus giving meat or grilled sandwiches an even, crispy crust. One tip: if you’re making shakshuka, remove the pan from heat a bit sooner than you think you should. This was an affordable buy that will perform for years. Every single living cooking snob should get one, but remember to ventilate well (I run my air purifier afterwards, too). Bon appetit, folks!

Love that Lodge has made a skillet with double handles in a small enough size to fit in countertop/toaster ovens.I use it every day either in the Emeril 360 convection oven or on my stove top or in my full size propane range convection oven.It heats up very quickly. Clean up is a breeze..it’s quite new to me so I’m still breaking it in but only once has food stuck (it was an egg and they’re notorious for sticking to everything).Looking forward to many years of use from this pan.

Tiene un buen tamaño para una familia pequeña y no está muy pesado. Definitivamente lo volvería a comprar

Al principio despues de la cura, reconozco que se pegan las cosas, y vengo de tener 2 sartenes buyer.Ahora despues de cocinar varias cosas, ya no se pega nada y sabe muy rico todo.Compre la sarten sin asas, y aunque ocupa menos espacio en la cajonera, es cierto que quizas para solo freir es mejor la de asasAlgunas veces resbala con la placa, cuando mueves la comida con una cuchara/pala, entiendo que como la primera cura la di aceite por todos lados y la meti al horno, la superficie aun este un poco resbaladiza.Volvere a comprar otra si me surge la ocasion.

Quality Product.
