Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Lodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, but now the company adds another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. All Lodge Logic cookware, including this 5-quart chicken fryer, comes preseasoned via a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system and is ready for cooking right out of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in your home oven before use. During the timesaving preseasoning process, oil penetrates deeply into the cast-iron surface while a high-temperature gas oven seals it in, preserving the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.
The chicken fryer measures 12 inches in diameter and 3-1/4 inches deep--an ideal size for not only frying poultry, but also making casseroles, enchiladas, and pan sauces. The vessel is deeper than most skillets, and delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention is especially ideal for slow-cooking recipes that call for tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. In addition, the underside of the iron lid contains several self-basting tips that encourage the condensed juices to continually remoisten the food, keeping the contents succulent and tasty. With proper care, Lodge Logic cast-iron cookware will last a lifetime. Lodge recommends hand washing the fryer, which carries a lifetime warranty, with a stiff brush and hot water.

First Time Cast Iron User - Great Product,
By mpmpmp (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover (Kitchen)
This is the first cast iron product that I had ever purchased. I was using layered stainless steel and nonstick cookware until I got tired of either having food stick on the stainless steel wok or several nonstick pans peeling after just two years of heavy use for each pan. I really enjoy using this 5-quart fryer. After only a dozen or so uses and it starts to show its' nonstick properties. It is vital to preheat the pot to sear the food properly so it will not stick. Cast iron is heavier compared to what I am used to, so cleaning this pot can be a chore at times.
I enjoy eating lots of rice, noodles, and pastas. Making fried rice on this pot taste really great (a good portion of eggs is crucial to good fried rice). A healthy diet should limit the intake of foods cooked in high heat (prolonged stir fry, grilling, deep frying). I pretty much use this to cook my daily meals as it adds more flavor when the meats are seared and not simply boiled like what my stainless steel wok did. I substitute a portion of oil with water and dry spices and the food still turns out quite tasty. I think every family should have a cast iron cookware since you can use it anywhere: campfire, stovetop, oven, and bbq grills. I have owned this pot for 3 months now and I have yet to deep fry anything on it. This pot is very versatile and I use it to cook everything. I learned it is important to not use any harsh detergent or any detergents at all when washing cast iron cookware. If it does start to rust, it should come off quite easily if you boil water in the pot and then scrub it with a steel brush. Proper care is important when storing cast iron pots for a long period of time. I heat up the pot after cleaning it in hot water, and I spread an even layer of oil all over the pot before I close the lid. It is recommended to use vegetable oil, but I only use canola oil these days and it works the same. I heard that cast iron gets better with age, and I really look forward to seeing that statement come true.

This review is from: Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover (Kitchen)
Being the proud owner of several other Lodge cooking vessels, I boldly tried my hand at frying. All I can say is wow.
The chicken fryer works wonders on chicken, veal, and cube steak. All of the cast iron properties come in to play when using the fryer, and it provides the control and the stability needed when frying foods. The heavy weight gives it stability, and the heat retention properties mean that you can control your cooking efforts more efficiently. Try the fryer, you won't be disapointed!

This review is from: Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover (Kitchen)
I received the original order with a broken handle and it was promply replaced with free pick up. The deep fryer is one product also that is hard to find. I have been looking for this type for a long time and I have not found them in other store including big stores like bed and bath ,wal Mart or other store . The price is really right for me also.
