Lodge Cast Iron Pan 17" L17SK3, Black

I like this frying pan, it cooks meat beautifully, really bringing out the flavours in bacon and beef. I like the fact that it is made in the USA and isn't a throwaway item, it should last a lifetime.

Perfect size for 2, 4 or 6. Does everything you'd expect of cast iron to do - heat / cooking size. Stove top to oven to table. Highly recommend adding to kitchen arsenal. V.happy with shipping & service too.

This is my 3rd Lodge cast iron and I love their products. It is durable and versatile, you can use it on stoves, grills and convection oven! I have 2 Lodge sizzling cast iron plates and I had fun using it in serving sizzling dishes and I am definitely excited for this skillet. Though doing the pre-seasoning task is a bit of work, it is totally worth it as it will make your your cast irons work perfectly for a very very long time. If you do not know how to pre-seasoned your cast iron there is one YouTube video by Martha Stewart that is very easy to follow. This is a good investment for your kitchen especially if you like to cook and bake like me!

Excellent for small volume of any kind of oil deep fry like vada.

I am satisfied with this pan. Big enough to cook food for family of 3-4 people, food does not stick. Also it is deep and you can easily mix everything while frying. You can also put it the oven, as the handles are comfortable for this and it has not rubber or plastic on.

This is my 2nd Lodge cast iron pan. It does need to be seasoned before using it even though it says it is pre-seasoned. You can use it for meat or dessert, on fire, in the oven, on the hob... anywhere! Just be prepared for its heavy weight and extra care it needs. I got it delivered on the next day of my purchase. Very happy.

Been using this for a very long time now, good quantity and no issue.

Loved it..

La calidad del material y acabado es muy buena, viene precurado y listo para usarse después de seguir algunos pasos que vienen en la etiqueta (básicamente un curado mas). Mi primer uso fue freír un par de huevos agregando solo una cucharada de aceite y salieron muy bien pues no se pegaron excepto en un par de puntos en las orillas que separé con la espátula sin problema pero el procesó fue como si lo hubiera hecho en Teflon. La ventaja de cocinar en hierro fundido es que alcanza y mantiene mayor temperatura por lo que puedes sellar la carne o los filetes de atún sin que se cuezan mas de 2 o 3 milimetros. Hay muchas otras cosas en las que se puede aprovechar la alta temperatura, es cosa de ir probando. Compré este modelo en lugar del que tiene mango (como sartén normal) porque estaba seguro de que en el uso regular no iba a poder manipular esta cosa tan pesada como si fuera otro sartén. Hasta ahora no me parece que requiera del mango pero lo que si es importante es que le compren los protectores de silicon para las asas pues se calientan muchísimo y uno está acostumbrado a las ollas y sartenes en donde las asas y mangos no se calientan tanto. Para que dure el curado hay que aprender a lavarlo. Primero hay que limpiarlo con un cepillo de cerdas duras para quitar los excedentes de comida y cualquier cosa que esté pegada, luego lavar con una esponja con muy poco jabón y sin frotar (pueden no usar jabón del todo si se sienten cómodos con eso), enjuagar con agua caliente, secar con una toalla de papel y con otra untar en el interior unas 2 o 3 gotas de aceite de aceite vegetal para que esté listo para la próxima y prevenir la oxidación. Estoy muy contento con la compra, es un buen complemento para mi cocina y puedo hacer cosas que los sartenes y ollas de acero inoxidable no hacen tan bien.

Well-made cast-iron skillet I’ve only used it the once, it’s a perfect size for one person, I bought it to travel around Australia in my caravan, I did cook eggs in it and they did stick so it’s not a nonstick cast-iron skillet, but maybe it’s my fault for not having seasoned it properly.

I love this small cast iron pan. Great size for 1 or 2 people. I baked Potatoes Anna (in my countertop oven) using parchment paper on the bottom and the 3 potatoes were golden brown on the top and bottom. I barely had to wipe it clean. I love the two side handles. Please note that the 8 in. diameter is the top measurement not including the handles and the inside bottom cooking area is approx. 6 inches. Love it !

This little pan is great for making small amount of sauteed vegetables, scrambled eggs and stir fried foods. The quality no doubt is really good and will last a lifetime.

It's an awesome frying pan! A joy to cook with!
