I bought this hotrod to make Chicago style deep dish pizzas, and it's perfect!
Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you that you can go ahead and ignore all the bad reviews about this skillet. These people clearly don't understand that if you leave cast iron wet, it will rust. That's what iron is supposed to do... If you wash it with water, dry IMMEDIATELY. Not 5 minutes after washing, IMMEDIATELY. Do that, and keep it seasoned, and it will not rust. Ever.
It's also a good idea to season the pan a couple times before you first use it for cooking. Yes, it comes totally pre-seasoned, but it never hurts to make sure the pan is 100% sealed with seasoning. (the best way to prevent rust, by the way...)
I love this skillet so much, I went ahead and bought the 11" square griddle from Lodge, and plan on getting the 10.25 and 8" skillet, as well. Then, all my cookware will be cast iron or stainless steel.
