Lodge 20.32 cm / 8 inch Pre-Seasoned Steel Round Skillet/Frying Pan

This is my favourite frying pan

I had read quite a few reviews, majority pretty good. Had been looking for a very large pan for a very long time,and too be honest was a bit nervous that I'd blown a load of money on a pan that wouldn't live up to the expectations that I hadWell I can assure you that despite some of the negative reviews this pan is the real deal, I can only assume some people don't use themproperly, seriously get the pan hot enough to slightly smoke turn down and nothing sticks, really impressed washed with hot water as stated with cleaned it a treat and then oiled (I used rice bran oil as can take very high temperatures also seasoned a few times just to get it going!)Use it as stated and you will love this pan!!!Ps.. I used on gas hob and as other reviewers stated you will need to turn down heat as it gets seriously hot, so careful not to burn them ribeye's!!

So disappointed with this product. I bought this as I have the cast iron skillet and that works fine. Firstly this arrived damaged per photo. Secondly, as soon as I heated up the pan to medium heat only it completely warped. It was never completely level with the cooking surface (slight wobble). When it cools down the warping reduces. All in… for a £50 pan this is unacceptably poor quality

Doesn't sit flat by at least 2mm, which is annoying. Now I'm going to have to find someone to hammer it flat. Hard to test the cooking capability when over half the pan isn't in contact with the induction cooktop. However I did find that eggs which seemed to be sticking actually allowed themselves to be scraped under and flipped without breaking the yolks, which I can *never* get to happen in my eco-nonstick pan. Did a potato veg hash once and fried eggs twice. All three times got the pan hot first, then added the fat, allowed the fat to get hot, then added the food. All three times food stuck. After the pan cooled a bit I added hot water and I'll be danged if the food didn't release with a one easy pass of the spatula. Literally amazed. (I have previously cooked quite a bit in cast iron and won't let eggs near that pan.)I will also add that it is quite a bit heavier than expected (and I had read and watched a lot of reviews). I find it really difficult to one-hand it when pouring out the contents, which is of course necessary because I need the other hand for helping with the spatula. Amz says Lodge skillet weight is 3.41lbs. Amz says the Matfer Bourgeat is 4lbs11oz AND ALSO SAYS 1.9lbs someplace else. Will have to research further.

Love cooking meat and burgers on this, absolutely perfect browning and crust. I’m sure this will outlast me and I love the fact I can put it on the stove top, bbq or camp fire.

I bought this as a gift for my son and he absolutely loves it!It gets used everyday for a variety of dishes.I would recommend this product.

These pans are brilliant. So long as you look after them, follow the washing instructions and season them they will perform superbly. Much much better than any non stick pan.

Very disappointed with this product. It’s has a very rough surface you can use it to grate cheese or potato or as a nail file. I’ve got a far superior British one with a smooth surface. My advice buy British. I wouldn’t have another as a gift with red,white,and blue ribbons tied to it.

Almost the first think I cooked was salmon fillets. With no effort, they cooked great. The factory seasoning is good. I have never used a cast iron skillet, mostly I use a stainless steel Fissler frying pan, which is pretty easy to clean, bough the Lodge to replace a non-stick thing we used mostly for pancakes. But this is fantastic, it basically lives on the range now, I use it for almost everything. Fried and scrambled eggs pass with flying colours. I bought carbon steel because reviews said it was more responsive to heat changes, and that it was lighter (than cast iron). If this is lighter, glad I didn't get cast iron! Glad we got the 12", the larger size has been good too. As to seasoning for beginners, it's actually as easy as it sounds. I am a rather draconian about cleaning it, I don't leave it wet, so I guess it is getting mollycoddled, which as is the nature of things may not last. Water and a normal dishwashing brush cleans it easily, as promised. I can't say if Lodge is a better maker than others, since I'm new to this. The surface is not smooth, it is a "matte" which may be Lodge added value. Certainly, it's 90% as good as new non-stick, and unlike non-stick, this is supposed to get better.

تم تجربة مقلاة الكاربون ستيل . وكانت تجربة مميزة جدًا.من المهم العناية بها اثناء التنظيف ، ومسحها بالزيت بشكل مستمر. مع تكرار الاستخدام ستصبح أكثروأكثر غير قابلة للالتصاق.

3年使ってるけどびくともしないその辺で売ってる鉄のフライパンはリセットする時にカンカンに焼くとフライパンの底が変形して平らじゃなくなってしまうけど、コレは汚れてきてリセットしても全く歪まないコスパで考えたら最強だと思う3年で2000円程度高くなってるから欲しい人は早く買った方がいい

This pan fits our 6-top gas range perfectly and is much easier to work with than the heavier cast iron griddles I've owned in the past. The pan holds heat well enough to make proper smash burgers and it's non-stick enough that cooking eggs or fish works without issue, with a bit of care.The handles are a great addition for moving the pan out of the way for washing or cooling off. The pan cleans up easily given the tall lip and handles. I generally add water and bring it to a boil to lightly scrape off the stuck bits. With a light wipe in the sink when it cools down to remove any extra bits, I let it dry off and give it a light coating of oil with a clean cloth. If you find it loses its coating, you can add it back with the same basic process as a cast iron pan, though I haven't had to do that yet (I avoid acidic foods, and clean it carefully).This pan would also be great for camping (though this one is not leaving my kitchen any time soon).

Son excelentes como comal grande, para pizzas o para hacer desayuno todo en un sartén.
