Amazon.com

The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box. After cooking, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately.

Breakfast in particular somehow tastes extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching and sear meat at higher temperatures. A good all-purpose size at 10-1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, this skillet can fry up eggs, pancakes, steaks, chicken, hamburgers, and can bake desserts and casseroles as well. A helper handle aids in lifting, and the looped primary handle allows hanging. Two side spouts pour off grease or juice. Even though the pan comes pre-seasoned, applying a little vegetable oil before use helps prevent food from sticking. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Not seasoned well enough, but it's still a fantastic skillet.

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

Size: 10.25"Pattern Name: SkilletVerified Purchase

We use this pan for everything except eggs. We've had this one for quite a while now so I feel like i can give a longer term review. The biggest thing I don't like about this pan is that it didn't feel like it came sufficiently pre- seasoned, so we looked up some videos and instructions and did it. Now it feels like the more we use the pan the better it gets. My husband and I both just Love this thing. The only thing it doesn't seem to cook right is eggs. There seems to be a bit of a learning curve when it comes to cast iron, but once you figure it out, it's very enjoyable to cook on and the food comes out delicious.

Tips on how we seasoned it: there are lots of opinions on which oil to use but we just went with plain ole vegetable oil. We made sure the pan was clean, then covered it with a thin layer of oil. We put it in the oven as preheated it until 475 degrees. Once it came to temperature, we turned it off and just let the pan sit in there until it cooled. The goal is to "burn off" the oil, so bring it past the smoking point until it gets dry and hard on the pan. That's what makes it coat well. We did this 3 or 4 times, but the more you use it the better nonstick surface you'll have.

Tips: Don't wash with soap, it'll strip it. We purchased a chainmail scrubber that we love to use. Seems to help smooth it out a little too, but that might be in my head. When I clean it I only use the scrubber and hot water. The more I use the pan the easier it gets to clean.
When you finish cleaning it, don't leave it wet. It'll rust. We just put it back on the stove with the burner on until it's dry. Easy.
Keep in mind that cast iron doesn't exactly heat evenly, but it holds heat well. This just means that you have to sufficiently preheat the pan before you use to ensure even cooking.

Overall I love this pan! It just gets better every time I use it.

Disappointed with surface finish. Went with Stargazer instead.

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

Size: 10.25"Pattern Name: SkilletVerified Purchase

I bought this skillet a little while ago and I was surprised how rough the surface finish was. It felt like sandpaper. Given all the positive reviews, I was expecting higher quality. After some research I found instructional videos on how to grind these Lodge skillets smooth, but who has time for that? I found two other American producers of cast iron that come with a smooth finish right out of the box: Stargazer and Finex. The Finex looks interesting but I went with the Stargazer because it's fully machined at half the price. Seems like I made the right call. The design is great, the surface finish is super smooth, and it cooks like a champ. If you're reading this review, do yourself a favor and pass on the Lodge. Go with the Stargazer instead. It's well worth the investment.

Chef Skillet Catharsis

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016

Size: 10"Pattern Name: SkilletVerified Purchase

I know there's a gazillion reviews already, but having used Lodge cast iron cookware a gazillion times, I can't resist weighing in. If you're newly getting into cast iron, read a bunch of the negative reviews first ... and discover people who are truly (often innocently) clueless about the preparation, care and usage of timeless cast iron cookware.

I have a bunch of Lodge skillets, a griddle, two Dutch ovens and a pot with a self-basting lid which happens to also fit one of my skillets as well as my new chef's skillet. I really wanted a skillet with rounded sides, mostly for an egg and omelette pan. At $15, the LCS3 is a steal, considering I can neither find nor afford vintage Griswold.

Like all Lodge, it comes pre-seasoned, which simply means it has a coating of oil that prevents oxidation. This seasoning is not what makes it non-stick. How you cook with it does. Out of the box, I enjoyed the cathartic ritual of baking four more coats of oil onto the seasoning which turned it a lovely, shiny black. Then, I pressed it into service as a non-stick wonder.

Some people complain about the "pebbly" texture of the pan, some even testifying that this is the reason food sticks ... wrong. Proper temperature and proper amounts of fats are the keys to cooking non-stick. The "pebbly" texture means nothing. Besides, with continued use, the "pebbly" texture will turn into a smooth-as-silk surface. All my Lodge has been used enough to reach this point (except, of course, this brand new piece.)

There are a lot of great videos on Youtube that can teach you how to cook with and care for your cast iron, but I can sum it up in a jiffy. Always preheat your cast iron over medium / low heat first, until it lightly smokes. Lower the heat slightly. Add butter, oil or other fats that are room temperature or cold. Coat the bottom and sides. Add your food and watch it slide around. When finished, rinse with hot water; if you have fond in the pan, scrape with a nylon scraper and rinse away. Dry the cast iron on the stove top burner and then wipe down with a very light coating of oil. You're ready for the next use. (This coating will lightly smoke when it reaches proper temperature, indicating when to add your cooking fats.)

Other than the initial wash-down out of the box, I personally do not use soap on my cast iron. Some people do. Avoid cooking with acidic foods and liquids like tomatoes or vinegars or you'll surely be re-seasoning your pan before you know it. Good luck, and good cooking. And remember the chef's maxim: "Hot pan, cold fat."

Lodge Skillets are the best- with a little prep.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017

Size: 8"Pattern Name: SkilletVerified Purchase

This is my third lodge skillet. I typically use my 12 inch for everything, but I live alone, and this is perfect for eggs or grilled cheese. My biggest tip that I can give for lodge preseasoned cast iron---"wash it" first. I don't use soap, but I use a stainless steel scrubber and hot water and thoroughly scrub the whole thing inside and out. I then dry it over medium heat on the stove, put a thin layer of oil all over the pan with a paper towel and then "bake" the cast iron in the oven at 450 degrees until it starts to smoke and stink. It kind of smells chemically. Once I smell it, I turn the stove off, let the cast iron cool in the oven, take it out, and it's ready to use. It may take a couple times before it's perfectly nonstick. Between each use I scrub it with the stainless steel scrubber and hot water and dry over medium heat on the stove. I rub more oil on it after drying about every 10th time I use it, or when it looks dry. I have never had to rebake it. My twelve inch has been perfect for years and this one is well on its way. So low maintenance. Great, heavy quality.

Consider carefully if you are new to cast iron

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2019

Size: 10.25"Pattern Name: SkilletVerified Purchase

This is more a cast iron pans review in general then this specific pan.
I purchased this pan because i was looking for a healhier alternative to the teflon and other nonstick material pans. As always when i'm buying something new i don't have experience with i did a pretty deep research on what king of pan could be suited for my needs. I wanted something that would be nonstick and easy to use (just as any other pan).
And if you are like me in the same situation right now you probably already now there are lot's of cas iron fans who will swear cast iron is excelent coockware and it is nonstick, you just need to season it properly and it is easy to use if you know how to take care of it and they will be very very happy to give you any advice on how to do it.
Well after folowing all their advices and hours of seasong and making my kitched smell like burned oil i managed to make the pan let's say....semi-nonstick. And that COULD be enough if the pan is easy to clean. Which sadly is not the case because you need to remember the pan is a pure iron so you can't put cold watter on it while it's hot and can't leave it in water because it would get rusty and you can't use a soap because you would damage the seasonning and yes don't forget to brush it very carefully...
it is exactly as it sounds. Awfully complicated and time consuming. But i'm just someone who wan't to make his scrambled eggs with bacon in the morning. For that purpose the cas iron pan is just not good. Try to clean a scrambled eggs softly without any soap and without leaving it soaked in the watter a bit....
I will be using it when i'm roasting some meat in the oven, but that's all.
For anything else just go for a stainless steel pan. They can be as ''nonstick'' as cast iron but they are much more easy to clean and that saves you a lot's of time and nerves.

Amazon me ha preguntado si este artículo cumplió mis expectativas. No, no las ha cumplido, las ha mandando a un punto más allá del espacio y el tiempo. Al igual que Moisés al ser llamado por Dios, el hierro fundido me ha hecho ver la banalidad de mi vida anterior. Ahora soy un siervo de una causa mayor: la de cuidar, curar y rendir culto a diversos artículos hechos de hierro fundido. ¿Lo recomendaría? De la misma manera que los judíos divagaron por 40 años, el principiante se adentrara en lo más oscuro del cuidado de la vajilla; olvide todo el que entre a esta tierra santa el lavado de los platos sencillo. Necesitaras fuerza, sal, tiempo, aceite, sangre y la materia que compone el alma misma...Pero lo tierra prometida existe para quienes la saben buscar por los caminos sinuosos y arduos que llevan a ella.

Es un poco pequeño así que sólo lo recomiendo para desayunos o cortes de carne pequeños-medianos.

Per Amazon International wird's interessant ...

Reviewed in Germany on January 28, 2019

Size: 10.25"Pattern Name: SkilletVerified Purchase

Wer kein Gusseisen Kochgeschirr aus China will (auch wenn es gar nicht so schlecht ist wie sein Ruf), gleichzeitig aber nicht die Preise für europäische Produkte zahlen will, sollte mal die verschiedenen Größen der Lodge Serien durchforsten und schauen, welche Produkte es aktuell per Amazon International gibt. Da kosten die Lodge Produkte nämlich deutlich weniger als der hierzulande üblicherweise aufgerufene (und gemessen an der Qualität völlig überzogene) Preis.

Zur Klarstellung:
Lodge ist eine US Amerikanische Billigmarke, die es "über'm Teich" in jedem größeren Supermarkt oder Haushaltswarenladen für kleines Geld gibt. Qualitativ kann Lodge es locker mit den besseren China Produkten aufnehmen und bietet wie diese gleichmäßíge Wandstärken und eine vernünftige Gussqualität. In den USA ist Lodge daher die erste Wahl für relativ günstiges Gussseisen, wenn man die Preise der deutlich teureren Edelhersteller nicht zahlen will.
Wenn die Lodge Produkte dann allerdings nach Deutschland importiert werden, wird daraus plötzlich eine erschreckend hochpreisige "Luxusmarke", die z.T. teurer ist als europäische Produkte (z.B. die sehr guten und noch bezahlbaren Pfannen von Ronneby Bruk). Dank Amazon International sind aber immer wieder mal Artikel von Lodge zu deutlich günstigeren Preisen (trotz internationalem Versand) zu haben. Dann wird es interessant.

In meinem Fall wurden es sechs Gusseisenpfannen von Lodge. Jeweils zwei in 10'', 8'' und 6.5''. Alle zusammen haben inclusive Versand aus den USA kaum mehr gekostet als eine einzelne Skeppshult Pfanne (nichts gegen die Marke, aber die Preise sind überzogen). Zwar war das immer noch gut der doppelte Preis, den man in den USA zahlen würde, aber im gleichen Preissegment gibt es sonst hierzulande nur China Ware, bei der die Qualität stark schwankt.

Zu den Pfannen:

1. Guss- und Verarbeitungsqualität
An der Verarbeitungsqualität der Pfannen gibt es nichts groß auszusetzen. Man darf allerdings auch keine allzu hohen Ansprüche haben, weil es sich wie schon gesagt um günstige Produkte für den US Markt handelt. Gemessen daran gibt es nicht viel zu meckern. Bei den meißten Pfannen sind die Grate nicht perfekt entfernt, aber niemals so, dass es scharfkantig wäre. Mit einem Dremel und etwas Handarbeit ist das schnell behoben, wenn man Wert darauf legt. Wirklich nötig ist es nicht, da die Kanten wie schon erwähnt niemals wirklich scharf sind.

Die Gussqualität war bei fünf von sechs Pfannen ordentlich. Bei einer der 6,5'' Pfannen waren mehrere kleine Löcher im Boden, entweder durch den Einschluss von Luft oder Feuchtigkeit beim Gießen. Die Pfanne wurde problemlos durch Amazon ersetzt.

Alle Pfannen sind nahezu plan und wackeln nur unwesentlich auf einem Glaskochfeld. Man muss schon bewusst beidseitig am Rand zugreifen und wackeln, damit sie sich minimal bewegen. Beim normalen Gebrauch merkt man davon absolut nichts. Bei einer tiefgezogenen Eisenpfanne wäre das ein möglicher Reklamationsgrund, weil diese aufgrund der geringeren Gewichts nicht so "satt" auf dem Herd stehen. Für Gusspfannen empfinde ich es als völlig in Ordnung.

Leider sind auch bei Lodge wie bei den meißten Herstellern von Gusseisen Kochgeschirr heutzutage die Oberflächen der Pfannen sehr rauh, insbesondere die Innenseite. Das ist selbst bei vielen deutlich teureren Marken der Fall, weil es das industrielle Voreinbrennen des Geschirrs durch den Hersteller erleichtert (das Öl, mit dem das Geschirr besprüht wird, haftet so besser). Dadurch haftet das Kochgut tendenziell etwas stärker als bei glatten Oberflächen. Zwar mindert die über die Jahre wachsende Patina in der Pfanne die Sache etwas, wirklich glatt werden solche Pfannen aber nie.
Wer die rauhe Oberfläche nicht will, hat zwei Möglichkeiten. Entweder kauft man eine Pfanne bei einem der wenigen Hersteller, die feiner gießen und anschließend noch die Innenseite polieren - was sich in entsprechend deftigen Preisen niederschlägt (etwa das 6 bis 15-fache einer Lodge). Oder man legt selbst Hand an und bearbeitet die Innenseite der Pfanne mit 60er Schleifpapier nach, bis sie gleichmäßig glatt ist.

2. Produktdesign
Das Design der hier besprochenen Lodge Pfannen ist klassisch. Runde Form, gerade Seitenwände mit kurzem Übergang vom Boden zum Rand und ein kurzer, angegossener Griff, der natürlich entsprechend heiß wird. Bei größeren Pfannen ist noch ein zusätzlicher, eckiger Handgriff vorhanden. Natürlich gibt es von Lodge auch noch andere, modernere Formen. Ich persönlich mag bei Gusseisen aber diese klassische Form, weil man die Pfannen so auch wunderbar zum Backen verwenden kann.
Es gibt modernere Designs, aber grundsätzlich ist die Form der klassischen Lodge Pfannen seit mehr als 100 Jahren bewährt.

3. Preis/Leistung
Zu den in Deutschland aufgerufenen Preisen sind die Lodge Pfannen (und alle anderen Gusseisen Produkte der Firma) überteuert. Es handelt sich um ordentliche Ware im unteren Preissegment für den US Markt, die hierzulande dann zum vielfachen Preis angeboten wird. Hier sollte man mal etwas genauer den nicht gerade kleinen Markt nach europäischen Produkten absuchen. Wenn eine Pfanne aber im Amazon International Programm auftaucht und incl. Versand "nur" noch etwa das doppelte des US-Preises kostet, wird es interessant. In dem Preissegment gibt es dann fast nur noch Konkurrenz aus China, die nichts besser kann als Lodge, aber stark in der Qualität schwankt, während Lodge zuverlässig einfache, aber solide Qualität bietet.

Fazit:
Als Ergänzung zur tiefgezogenen oder handgeschmiedeten Eisenpfanne (die gehört in jede Küche), insbesondere für den Einsatz im Backofen, sind die Lodge Gusspfannen eine gute Wahl für den schmalen Geldbeutel, WENN man sie zu einem angemessenen Preis wie bei Amazon International findet.
