Item : B00006JSUB Customer Reviews Suprising quality for the price by .. Erin () I bought this pan because I needed a 12 inch cast iron skillet for one particular recipe, and didn't want to spend too much money on it. The pan is incredibly well made and sturdy. I would expect it to sell for much more money in the stores. Product too unwieldy by .. Geraldine Laconti (Corning, NY, USA) I neglected to gauge the size of this skillet and found that together with its cover, it was too large, heavy and unwieldy for my small stovetop. I should have paid more attention to details. I was able to give it to a relative, who loves it. Love Love Love by .. puppiesluv () The pan had a pit (-one star), surface is not super smooth and like other reviewers have said the preseasoning is a joke. Still, my love is undaunted. Seasoning is easy. After cleaning with hot water and a scrubby brush, I just place it on the stove on low, and rub some on the surface with a paper towel. Easy cheezy lemon peely. Makes the best fried eggs and fried rice. For my Chinese compatriots, you can get a nice wok char off of this baby. I love that I can turn the electric stove up to high and watch the pan smoke, unlike those fancy schmancy non-stick Circulon and Analon pans that have a max of tolerance of med high. I don't care what they say about their magic heat conduction properties, medium high on non stick is NOT the same as high on a cast iron. Still using a bit of oil before cooking things so not yet non-stick, but it makes cooking a joy. For the first time, the puppy lingers by the kitchen when Mommy's cooking. Bought for just under $19 for a 12". It's a beautiful thing. Seriously contemplating the 7 quart dutch oven to get a lid that will fit both the 12" skillet and the 7 quart dutch oven. Refuse to pay more for the lid than I did for the skillet. That's just silly. GREAT PAN by .. A. D. Oltmann () As some on else said, this is made for steaks, but really for any meat. That being said, it's just a great pan. You really can't go wrong with Lodge Logic; it is seen as the top cast iron for a reason. It's a good product and I would recommend any Lodge Logic piece to anyone. I would also recommend the griddle...it's great. If you are going between the 10 and 12 inch pan...get the 12 there's more room for a full steak. Lodge 12-inch skillet by .. M Maurin (Des Moines, WA United States) Excellent well-made product. Lodge is the last company in the USA that manufactures cast iron products.
