Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet

After a visit to New Orleans, I decided it was time to start blackening fish and steaks, and everything I've read tells me that you need a black iron skillet red hot to do it right. I looked at a lot of options, but ended with this one. Liked it so much that I ended up buying two 8" skillets for breakfast and side dishes. I may be getting a little nuts on the skillet thing, but I love them. My stainless never comes out anymore. Just follow the rules : no soap, and always wipe them down (inside and out) with oil while they're hot, before you put them away. Mine have been going every night for weeks, and they look brand new.

This is the first cast iron pan I have ever had. I was tired of the non stick peeling and was looking for something healthier. After reading about cast iron I decided to give it a try and I love it. It is easy to use and clean and the price on Amazon was about $40 cheaper than at my local kitchen store. After I wash it with hot water and a pot scrubber I completely dry it and just spray it with olive oil for the next use. You have to wait until the temperature is just right before you put in your food or else it will stick. I am now going to buy the bigger one too!

Great quality as expected and experienced before from Lodge and Amazon.
The seasoning on the skillet is just a start, but I will soon have it like the rest of my cast iron cookware.....Slick as glass ans black as coal...If you cant get your cast iron non stick, you just aint doin it right!!!

Ordered the Old Mountain and ended up buying the Lodge Logic at a local store. Better weight, better finish, actually 12 inches and it's flat bottomed. yay!

You cannot go wrong with cast iron and the Lodge cast iron skillet is excellent.
