Lodge is a reliable, high quality product. I purchased this as a gift for a Wish List. But I have two for myself. I love the silicone handle grip. It’s heavy (that’s the nature of cast iron) if you clean it and treat it well, it will last a life-time. 12” is a good sized skillet. Read more

First and foremost, the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet is made with exceptional quality. Lodge has been making cast iron cookware for over 120 years, and their expertise is evident in the durability and craftsmanship of this skillet. The 12-inch size is perfect for cooking a variety of dishes, from sautéing vegetables to searing steaks. One of the standout features of this skillet is the red silicone hot handle holder. This addition is a game changer when it comes to handling the skillet, as it provides a safe and comfortable grip, even when the skillet is hot.

In terms of maintenance, the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet is easy to clean and care for. After use, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or brush, dry it thoroughly, and apply a light layer of oil to maintain its non-stick surface.

Update 1 Month Later: Still don't have it Non-Stick but have learned how to easily clean it. I bought a pair of Silicon Gloves and after I'm done cooking I heat the pan on high flame. Then I pour a glass of cold water on it. All the gunk comes off. I lightly scour with a Metal Scouring Pad "No Soap" dump it, rinse. Then I heat it again until the water bubbles off and take a napkin and coat it with Lard. Sounds complicated but it's super easy and beats normal scouring of a pan by tons. Even Eggs come off easy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It's a Pan. But actually a superior Pan. Fascinating all the different opinions on the best way to use and the best way to Clean Season etc... Don't buy this pan expecting it to be non-stick right off the bat. You are going to have to season it first. I'm in the process and I look forward to checking back in a wek to a month and saying that it's non-stick. Reason I bought this is that I'm tired of looking at scratched and ugly teflon pans. Recently I noticed something in my kitchen. 5 years ago I bought a Cast Iron Tortilla Heater. Basically a small Flat Cast Circular Iron Pan without edges. Right now it is the only Pan in my whole kitchen that looks decent. Then I thought why not get the rest of my pans in Cast Iron. I did research and found that with proper seasoning Cast Iron will become Non-stick and last for years. Then I checked on Amazon and the prices didn't seem too high for this cookware and the ratings are very high by those who know how to use it. One thing interesting about this pan is that at the same time that I bought this one I bought the 10" Cook Pan or Omlette pan. This one had a finer finish, the other one was rougher. I started out by coating it with Rapeseed and cooking in oven at 450" until it smoked awhile, but later found out that it should have been 350" for 45 minutes according to a different theory. Then I cooked up a pound of Bacon. Then scoured away some of the residue with a non soaped scouring pad, After Which made scramble for 10 people with the grease and Pace Picante. Yes a little egg stuck but not severely, My cleaning method is to scour with water, then pour out water and scour with oil and salt. Drying and coating with oil at the end. I'll check back in a month and hopefully I'll report that it's become a non-stick surface. Anyway if you are looking for a pan versatile enough to cook a Huge Egg Scramble for 10 people or a Steak, Smothered with Onions for 1 then this is a great addition to your cooking arsenal. I was very impressed that this is the first cookware that I've used which is 100% evenly cooking my food. Read more
