Lodge L10SK3CN 30.5 cm / 12 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Round Skillet/Frying Pan, Black

a staple for every kitchen

Never had a cast iron pan before as I was scared off by seasoning it, rust issues if washed incorrectly and other care required. But actually caring for this pre-seasoned Lodge has become a labor of love as it works so well. Steaks are brilliant, eggs slide out, lamb shanks and other meat browned in record time. Veggies roasted to perfection. If you haven’t had a cast iron pan before, take the plunge. You won’t regret it. After use I wash it in warm water (no soap), scrub it with a nylon brush, dry it, and then lightly oil it with a paper kitchen cloth and some canola oil. Truly, a cast iron pan can take the place of non-stick Teflon, ceramic and aluminum pans. The only downside is the cleaning care required, longer heating up time and heavier weight. But I will soon order the 12 inch version, call me a convert.

Seasoned this cast iron as per youtube videos and it works like a non-stick pan would and retains heat nicely, it is my first cast iron. It is very heavy though, website described it as 3.5kg but this feels around 7kg. This would probably last a really long time.

The pan is pre-seasoned and very easy to use. I’ve used it to cook salmon and chicken so far and have had excellent results. To maintain the seasoning, I season with oil post use. I like the fact that it can be placed in the oven to cook further for certain recipes. It is just the right weight and perfect size for a family meal. The product it self reached is in less than one day!

After couple of months coating is getting off... very sad with this purchase... over hyped..

Delivered on time with good Quality

Very good

I got this skillet and it's amazing to cook with, the side is a little chipped but not a big issue. Great product for people that like to cook stakes.

An absolutely incredible pan! Works fabulously for: ▪︎ eggs (prepared ANY WAY) ▪︎ crepes and pancakes ▪︎ stir fry ▪︎ meat! Chicken breast, pork chips, salmon, shrimp, and tofu And I will be using it on many more foods! It comes pre-seasoned but they reccomend cooking something in oil on the first use. It's truly non stick pan and I adore that the handout it ships with informs you of all materials used to make the pan. Very transparent with their practices and clean materials. Tips they share on the handout/their site ● slowly heat the pan to your desired temperature to ensure you don't crack the seasoning. I like to chop veggies while I wait. ● the pan will release eggs/protein once it has cooked enough, don't flip too early! ● I purchased the pan scrapers to get off any food debris. It's reccomended to clean this pan with a bit of soap or salt, then dry it completely and season it with oil. Easy to clean. This pan is something that will last a LONG time. It needs a bit more bit of care than a traditional non-stick, but it is SO WORTH IT!

Excelente sarten,muy buena calidad,es para toda la vida,llego todo perfecto,muy recomendable,gracias.

Big size for big family, able to cook easily 1.5kgs of meat. Heavy, slightly sticks at the bottom but overall good.

These pre-seasoned Lodge cast iron pans - if cared for properly - are a life-long purchase, or possibly longer, if you decide to hand them down to the next generation! They are beautifully made, with a clean, consistent cast, and a considerable heft, even in the smaller sizes. The iron has a tight, fine grain which produces smooth curves and crisp details on the pan, and provides a visible sense of quality. Equipping your kitchen with a set of these would be ideal if you appreciate traditional, quality items that can be passed down from generation to generation - they are genuinely 'Modern Retro'. Unchanged in design over hundreds of years, there is a sense when cooking with these that a great-great-grandmother has done the same somewhere back in the distant past. In this manner, they are eminently suitable for cooking traditional and slow-cooked dishes. Pros: Solid, long-lasting, high quality construction that saves on energy (as less heat is needed) and may improve the taste of your foods. A slower approach on a lower setting will infuse the pan with an even heat all over. The cast iron may not actually add anything taste-wise to the food being cooked, but - possibly by not taking anything away either - it definitely does help food taste better! Meats sear really well, sealing in more flavour. There is absolutely no chance of any contamination from non-stick chemicals or coatings as the pans are entirely naturally coated (cooking oil). Cons: Need slightly more maintenance than a modern non-stick pan, and the considerable weight can make them a bit of a handful! Pre-seasoning (cooked-on oil) ensures less hassle when the pan is new, and as you add to the seasoning through time, the non-stick qualities of the pan increase. Unlike normal non-stick pans, you can use metal kitchen implements with impunity, as the surface is practically bulletproof. However, you must wash the pan in a gentle soap solution after each use, and re-coat the pan with oil before storing it away. In practice, this only takes a couple of minutes and leaves the pan with a satisfying black lustre. Not doing it, or leaving the pan damp, can result in rust quickly forming on the raw iron. However, even this is not a disaster as a gentle scrub and re-oiling will get rid of the rust (although leaving rust on for longer could result in physical damage to the surface of the pan). Due to their robust construction and the nature of cast iron, these pans tend to weigh heavily, even in the smaller sizes. This helps the pan spread and retain heat evenly, but can make them a bit of a handful when moving them around the stove. As an integral part of the pan, the handles heat up at the same rate, so be careful with them! The positive side of this is that the pan can go from stove top to oven to table top (and even BBQ!) without alteration, or risk of a plastic handle melting. Buy a pair of good quality silicone mitts or oven gloves and always lift them using both handles. Lodge do silicone covers for the handles and tempered, oven-proof glass lids in sizes to fit the main pans. For general use, the 8" and 10" sizes should be adequate, with 12" for larger meals or extended family cooking. They are also available in deep versions that can be used as a casserole. We store ours on the gas stove top as we like the look of them so much!

Pochi mesi fa ho comprato una padella lodge wildlife Antea di 20 cm e mi piace sacco per la sua qualità e la forma graziosa,ma lo trovo un po' piccolo per 2 persone. Poi ho comprato un'altra padella di Kichly, non è male ma si capisce che la qualità è un po' inferioree made in Cina. Ora ho comprato la seconda padella lodge di 22cm, finalmente mi sono molto soddisfatta per la misura che mi adatta e per la qualità che mi fida per cucinare con tranquillità senza timore di contattare nessuno sostanza nocivo. Ore lo uso ogni giorno e finalmente credo e spero che per lungo periodo non ho bisogno cambiare altre padella come ho fatto tante volte negli anni precedenti.
