Lodge Pre-Seasoned Deep Skillet, 10.25-inch Cast Iron (Black) Review

This is one of my favorite cast iron skillets that I use. Remember to season before and during use to prevent food from sticking. Cooking at low or medium temperature is also best. This pan is also oven safe, which will do wonders for your home cooked meals. If you're thinking about buying the Lodge L8DSK3 fryer as well as a separate cast iron lid, it's cheaper to buy a 3 liter Lodge fryer with a lid as it's exactly the same as the L8DSK3 but comes with a lid. I believe Revain Prime was $33.78…

So I received this Lodge pan yesterday. I'm no stranger to cast iron pans, I've been using them since I started cooking with my parents 30 years ago. Manufactured by Lodge, these frying pans will last the rest of a person's life with proper care. I never wash my pans with soap, just wipe them down with some water while they're still hot, gently scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon, break up bits stuck to it, then throw them away unless I'm using one to do so make sauce. I then scrape lightly…

I'm tired of watching my wife bring home expensive cookware (Williams & Sanoma, La Crucet, Calphilon, etc.) only to throw it away after a year or two because it's burnt, discolored, or the lid holder from itself works etc. Told her my grandma has used a cast iron skillet her whole life, probably cooked in it every day and never had a problem with it. In fact, my cousin coped with it after she died and has always bragged about coping with it. Decided with 5 different Lodge pans and saucepans of…

I have used a different cast iron but I have never had a new cast iron before this pan. I bought the included lid with a silicone grip so I can finish it in the oven if I want. So far we've used this pan for: - frying chalupa clams (yes, you can cook them at home :D ) - lots of bacon - dutch baby cooking - lots of steamed veggies - stir-fries (we jokingly called it our village wok ) - corn tortillas Pancakes and maybe one more time I left it in the sink because I was too lazy. Well, it's a BIG…

LOVE LOVE LOVE this pan! First I fell in love with Cast Iron (CI)! CI, if you take a little extra time to season properly, it almost never sticks to the food. Even then it is very easy to clean. That's great, but if you have a glass top stove, you must be careful NOT to drop it or rub the glass surface. Fantastic with gas stoves. BUT THIS PAN IS DEEP! It is big! We make a lot of dishes that we can't make in a standard 12 inch unit. tray AI It will run over the edge. THAT we just made spaghetti…
