It arrived with a broken handle. As you can see in the picture, the handle is a little samll for a heavy skillet like this one. But no problem, I packed it up, returned it, and a replacement was received considabily fast! (for super saver free shipping, Amazon probably lost money on this purchase for sending the heavy skillet 3 times (original, return, and replacement). Great service Amazon!

I had no experience using cast-iron cookware prior to this one but I consider myself and pretty good cook. I did a lot of reading and research on cast iron, and gave this a try. It works great! The pre-season coating worked as promised. I use it to prepare steak mostly and the result was nice. I am still experimenting and adjusting cook time as this piece works differently than any other cookware I had before, but I like what it can do so far. I have seen the same skillet (except for the boy scouts logo) selling cheaper at Walmart. But for something that heavy, I can understand the extra cost even just for shipping. I have not seen one with the boy scout logo anywhere and I think it looks a lot more handsome that the regular one. Combining the 2 factors, I think the extra few dollars was well worthed.

Ever since I have the skillet, I am constantly watching for good steak on sale from the local georcery so I can do more (rewarding) experiments.

This skillet is made with the typical Lodge quality and attention to detail. While I'm sure that it is functionaly identical to the regular 12-in skillet, the Boy Scout emblem on the bottom makes it stand out. Perfect for the campsite, back yard BBQ, or the kitchen.

This is a second one of my cast iron Lodge pans. I am very happy with it, as it proved invaluable in my kitchen. Thick cast iron provides even heat throughout the pan, without cold spots or hot spots. I don't have to use high heat to get amazing results. True, I do have to use both hands, but this is a minor inconvenience (and I get a workout). I suppose gradually I will replace all of my fancy non-stick aluminum pots and pans with those made in the USA by Lodge. They are not only "as good as", they are "better than", when it comes to cooking performance.

Item is very nice as a collectible or for everyday use. Lodge Logic preseasoned is very nice. Price was great @ amazon

Santa brought my husband this fantastic skillet. Since then he has used it on a regular basis. "There is nothing as good as bacon made in this skillet" he raved. He is right of course. Anything prepared in it tastes fabulous. A gift that will last a lifetime (and beyond).

I have used cast iron cookware for years and find the last addition of the lodge 12 inch skillit to be very useful for larger dishes. I have also used
amazon for shopping frequently.

I am not in the Boy Scouts nor do I not go camping. This was my first cast iron pan. I use it all the time for steaks, bacon, and dutch babies. Next up, dutch oven!

Fantastic pan. Big enough to cook two good sized steaks at once. Also absolutely love the boy scouts emblem, which makes the pan extra special. Lodge is the best.

I like it. I'm glad I bought it. As expected, it is VERY heavy!

I do not place this cast iron skillet in the dishwasher. I use warm soapy water and a nylon stiff-bristle brush to remove anything stuck inside. I dry it right away with a towel and then wipe the inside with a paper towel dipped in about a teaspoon of olive oil. That way it will be in great shape and ready to go the next time I use it.

I returned this as soon as I opened the package. The skillet is much too heavy for easy cooking (I doubt it weighs 9 lbs., as the product info says) and the handle is way too short for ease of use.
