Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Red Silicone Hot Handle Holder, 10.25-inch

If you like cast iron you know all about the issues some have with Lodge. I think the seasoning is better with this pan than one a bought many years ago. I still do a seasoning and began using it with the beauty of stick free Now I will say that I have a Lodge small griddle that had some bumps and well I never really understood how to season cast iron in the past so it was not really all that good. So I sanded it down to remove both the bumps and the defective seasoning that I did and reseasoned it and found that it is working well now. Not really proof that smooth is better than the dimpled ones but if that is your preference it is not all that hard to make them smooth and well it seems to be standard practice to season pan even it comes already done. I like that it is made in the USA and well the pans are nice for the price. I think that I now have enough information about cast that was not really easily available years ago so after one of my HexClad pans started to delaminate I started using the cast iron pan of close to the same size. It worked well and I think if you use it properly it is easy to clean and not really all that much effort. Plus if you want to use metal in it well no problem. HexClad said you can use metal but I am not going to risk it. I think I will always have some stick free pans but I know I will have this pan for life.

I purchased this for a Christmas gift. Grand daughter loves it.

Can’t believe I never had a cast iron skillet before. Highly recommend cooking with cast iron, a little more weight and maintaining but worth it. Be sure to season skillet when you first get it even though it’s advertised as pre seasoned, check out videos for instructions on seasoning cast iron. Will last life time with proper care

im missing the red piece that go on handle

Love the protective handle cover

Great cast iron pan and it’s seasoned. But also best to re seasone it. Also pay attention on how to care for it. It will last a lifetime.we know cause we have cast iron pans.

This is such a great pan. Just as a warning it does stick a little when you very first use it, but after that it gets better. One of the best pans I've ever used.

Good skillet for the price. Doesn't stick and is easy to clean. The silicone handle cover works good to keep you from burning yourself. Best pan I had in a while.
