I wanted a large, cast iron skillet to cook enough sausage for my wife and I for several days and not leave a strong odor in the house. The Lodge, 12" skillet is great! I cook 20 pieces of sausage, in two cookings, on our outside grill to keep the odors out of the house. We store the cooked sausage in the refrigerator and use it as needed. The skillet has also fried some mighty fine bacon and eggs. Clean-up is a breeze. We use the metal spatula to scrap the skillet bottom, pour the grease and scrapings into a jar, wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, and quick wash, if needed.

This pan is great. I bought a smaller one and fell in love with it, that I had to buy alarge one. Nexti am going to add a lid. It is great that It comes pre-seasoned, basically it is ready to use. It reminds me of grandma's house, grandma's always have a cast iron pan.

This mitt is wonderful with the iron skillet I purchased! It has definitely saved on the amount of burns I get from grabbing the handle without it!

Scrub (without soap) first, let dry, add 1 large bottle of peanut oil, heat and french fry 2 or 3 pounds of potatoes to season Dutch Oven, and you're all set to cook your favorite recipes. The top will also fit the 10-1/2" round griddle plus regular skillet - very kewl.

I recently purchased my first Lodge cast iron pans. Four 7" pans and they were SUPER! Just like I remember my grandma using. They came already seasoned, no need to do it yourself and they are SO quick to clean up. Nothing sticks, everything cooks so evenly that Im cleaning out all of my old nonstick pans, which cost me ten times more than these. I couldn't wait to get my griddle in the mail and boy does it make great pancakes! French toast too, as well as eggs, sandwiches, anything that doesn't require high sides. I will continue adding Lodge pans to my collection!

I'd been looking at the French brand but just couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money. This does just what it claims and I've used it at least twice a week since I got it. I've used it to make soup, make a roast, and just last night made my grandmother's fudge recipe to sent to nieces who are working in China. Even with the scorching on the bottom from the fudge, a short soak and it cleaned up beautifully, no scrubbing necessary. Very good value for the money. I've had it about a month and used it 6-8 times. No problems with any chipping.

I've had this griddle for about 2 months now. This is my first cast iron piece and I'm quite impressed by the quality from Lodge Logic. I was introduced to the brand from early seasons of Alton Brown's Good Eats program.
Cast iron is great for grilling meats because it can retain and distribute heat evenly. Love the sound of meat searing and grill marks? Look no further. It's also excellent for pancakes, bacon, and eggs. All you need is a little bit of grease on top to prevent sticking and reduce cleanup. I either use a small pad of butter or cooking spray, depending on what's cooking.
The size is ideal for my kitchen stove top, as it can sit on top of and receive heat from two burners. You might want to measure the separation ... Read More:

I hated my mother's cast iron skillet, it was so big and heavy, but she had to feed a family of nine. Now I am getting reaquainted with cast iron, and wish I hadn't stayed away so long. The 8" is perfect for me, not so much heavy, as solid. Heats pretty quick, clean up and care is simple. I have left teflon on the burner before and am not surprized that the horrid smell is also toxic. I'd rather have the added iron in my diet instead of teflon or alluminum. It's easy to see why Lodge has stood the test of time, quality and affordability together are hard to find! Quick shipping too! Two forks up!

This grill pan is great, cooks things well. Awesome quality. I've used to to cook a few different things, nothing sticks. I seasoned mine when using the included instructions when it got it. So much easier to clean and better taste than george foreman. I'm in an apartment and we can only have electric outdoor grills(whats the point). So I got this to do my grilling.
