Lodge L10SK3CN 30.5 cm / 12 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Round Skillet/Frying Pan, Black

Delivered on time with good Quality

very good

Never had a cast iron pan before as I was scared off by seasoning it, rust issues if washed incorrectly and other care required. But actually caring for this pre-seasoned Lodge has become a labor of love as it works so well. Steaks are brilliant, eggs slide out, lamb shanks and other meat browned in record time. Veggies roasted to perfection. If you haven’t had a cast iron pan before, take the plunge. You won’t regret it. After use I wash it in warm water (no soap), scrub it with a nylon brush, dry it, and then lightly oil it with a paper kitchen cloth and some canola oil. Truly, a cast iron pan can take the place of non-stick Teflon, ceramic and aluminum pans. The only downside is the cleaning care required, longer heating up time and heavier weight. But I will soon order the 12 inch version, call me a convert.

I am not sure why but I received wrapped in a cartoon not in a real box as expected. Anyway, quality was okay and I was going to throw away the package anyways so I accepted the product.

Waste of money. I bought twice from this brand and both times rusted in the first month. I have another set from brand - Staub which is amazing. No issues after years of use. I know the maintenance is important and I care the same way for both but the bad quality will not last. waste of money. Smell bad too

Excellent heat distribution for perfect steaks and chicken meals. Product Care: Make sure to pat dry it after every wash (wash with mildly hot water and a sponge with a dash of liquid soap | baking soda), apply some olive or vegetable oil with tissue or clean cloth, let it dry a bit. It won't rust a lifetime. All it needs is proper care and some love.

Seasoned this cast iron as per youtube videos and it works like a non-stick pan would and retains heat nicely, it is my first cast iron. It is very heavy though, website described it as 3.5kg but this feels around 7kg. This would probably last a really long time.

Purchased this just about two weeks ago. Oiled it as instructed however the bottom part has started to rust. It’s definitely not non-stick. If you cook eggs they will get stuck to the base and requires a good soak before the pan can be cleaned. However, my main reason for wanting to return this is due to how easy it is for it to rust. I literally will need to spray oil all over it inside and outside to keep that from happening. So this is a really really high maintenance pan. Otherwise from cooking aspect, it was fun, heats super fast, and the base will not skew over the months as some non stick frying pans do. So I guess you if you want hassle free pan, I can’t recommend it but if you can handle it’s time consuming up-keep then you might like it. Too bad I can’t return this anymore as I just missed the return window by 5 days!!!
