I accidentally ordered the 3.5 inch. It's amazing, solid, heavy and well made, but can probably only fry a piece of garlic in it at a time(My fault for not checking). I may keep it next to my bed and use it as a weapon if necessary, or hang it on the wall as an ornament.

Bought the 10" cast iron skillet for $24 with free shipping on prime. Would probably go the larger 12" if cooking for a large family or you have regular dinner parties.
Eggs and meat come off skillet very easy and easy to clean with just a wipe and tiny bit of oil. If you are into Vietnamese cooking, cooking Banh Xeo also works out pretty decent on this skillet.
Based on the price I bought item, would give product 5*, not a lot of downsides, apart from maybe being a bit small for larger families.

When it first arrived I was a bit concerned with the course sandpaper texture of the pan but washed and gave it a quick season in the oven and it worked great. However, I am impatient and couldn't wait for the seasoning to build up so I sanded the inside of the pan, seasoned it several times in the oven before use and now I would say it ranks up their with the best non stick pans on the market.

I looked at this same pan from Kitchen Warehouse and it was going to cost almost $80 AUD as apposed to under $25 from here, I purchased the lid with it too. Shipping was really fast considering it was coming from the US it was here in about a week. This was my first time using a cast iron pan, but I love it, use it at home and to take camping. Well worth it.

Bought this as we have another cast iron fry pan which we love. Lodge has a good name and decided to try one. It has been great, and always light rinse/clean and then season it after we use it, and is working well. This is a little smaller than our regular one, and should have got the same size as the last one. The handle gets hot , so have to keep in mind when handling. Our other one has a wooden handle which is great as don't need to worry about heat.
Great Product.

This is my second Lodge skillet, my other being a large 12" model. This one is perfect for omelettes, fried eggs, pancakes, and many other dishes. The seasoning was surprisingly good out of the box and has only improved over the weeks I've been cooking with it. I use my skillets typically twice to three times a day, so they get a lot of usage, both on the stove, and in the oven. These pans handle anything you can throw at them, with a developed seasoning are virtually non-stick, and they are built like a tank. Whilst I've only got the two skillets so far, I know I'm going to continue replacing my other cookware when the time comes for cast iron.
A nice contrast to the larger size is that this skillet is quite light and easy to move around. But this also means that the pan can heat up very quickly, so you do have to be a bit more mindful of what you are doing. Apart from that though, a good wipe out with a clean cloth after cooking, some lard or tallow to lightly coat and protect it, and it's shiny, smooth and ready to go for the next meal.

I had never tried Cast Iron pans before, so tried this on my induction cooktop and WOW it works great! It has excellent non-stick properties, it cooks a steak to perfection, and is a joy to use. On the downside, you need to be aware that cast iron pans are very heavy - like really heavy. So take that into consideration. Also, while they clean up pretty well, they do require a bit of looking after to keep in top shape. IE don't leave them wet/submerged in your sink, avoid harsh soaps (you usually don't need any soap at all), keep an extremely thin layer of oil wiped onto the pan surface to aid in seasoning and rust prevention. I baby my pan a fair bit so after use I usually:
Wait till pan is in the 100 degree celsius mark then pour hot water into it and scrub with a brush, rinse with hot water and keep scrubbing as you rinse. For scrubbing I use a plastic scrubbing brush, usually that is enough. If there is lots of oil on the surface, I might add a small amount of dish soap and very gently wipe that around with a sponge and then rinse it off as fast as I can with hot water - but I rarely use any soap. For stubborn burnt on stains I use salt grains as an abrasive and scrub with a cloth, and then rinse really well afterwards. Once rinsed clean, I wipe dry with a paper towel, then put it back on the stove to get it warm again to ensure all water is evaporated, then I get a piece of paper towel and dab some cooking oil on it and wipe onto pan - I then use a dry bit of the paper towel to wipe off excess oil - it needs to be just the slightest smear of oil - not much. And that's it. So it's a bit more work to look after, but MAN the cooking results are excellent.

Absolutely fantastic pan. Having never used cast iron to cook before, I was hestitant after reading about all the "extra" maintenance requirements for cast iron. But I took the chance anyway and purchased one off of Amazon and have never looked backed. Steaks have never tasted better than they being cooked on this pan. It being cast iron, it can also be used in the oven or on a charcoal BBQ. So it is super versatile and it cooks so evenly. The preseasoning on all Lodgeware is amazing and so easy to maintain.

Consider carefully if you are new to cast iron
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2019Size Name: 10.25"Verified Purchase
This is more a cast iron pans review in general then this specific pan.
I purchased this pan because i was looking for a healhier alternative to the teflon and other nonstick material pans. As always when i'm buying something new i don't have experience with i did a pretty deep research on what king of pan could be suited for my needs. I wanted something that would be nonstick and easy to use (just as any other pan).
And if you are like me in the same situation right now you probably already now there are lot's of cas iron fans who will swear cast iron is excelent coockware and it is nonstick, you just need to season it properly and it is easy to use if you know how to take care of it and they will be very very happy to give you any advice on how to do it.
Well after folowing all their advices and hours of seasong and making my kitched smell like burned oil i managed to make the pan let's say....semi-nonstick. And that COULD be enough if the pan is easy to clean. Which sadly is not the case because you need to remember the pan is a pure iron so you can't put cold watter on it while it's hot and can't leave it in water because it would get rusty and you can't use a soap because you would damage the seasonning and yes don't forget to brush it very carefully...
it is exactly as it sounds. Awfully complicated and time consuming. But i'm just someone who wan't to make his scrambled eggs with bacon in the morning. For that purpose the cas iron pan is just not good. Try to clean a scrambled eggs softly without any soap and without leaving it soaked in the watter a bit....
I will be using it when i'm roasting some meat in the oven, but that's all.
For anything else just go for a stainless steel pan. They can be as ''nonstick'' as cast iron but they are much more easy to clean and that saves you a lot's of time and nerves.

Not seasoned well enough, but it's still a fantastic skillet.
Reviewed in the United States on 3 February 2018Size Name: 10.25"Verified Purchase
We use this pan for everything except eggs. We've had this one for quite a while now so I feel like i can give a longer term review. The biggest thing I don't like about this pan is that it didn't feel like it came sufficiently pre- seasoned, so we looked up some videos and instructions and did it. Now it feels like the more we use the pan the better it gets. My husband and I both just Love this thing. The only thing it doesn't seem to cook right is eggs. There seems to be a bit of a learning curve when it comes to cast iron, but once you figure it out, it's very enjoyable to cook on and the food comes out delicious.
Tips on how we seasoned it: there are lots of opinions on which oil to use but we just went with plain ole vegetable oil. We made sure the pan was clean, then covered it with a thin layer of oil. We put it in the oven as preheated it until 475 degrees. Once it came to temperature, we turned it off and just let the pan sit in there until it cooled. The goal is to "burn off" the oil, so bring it past the smoking point until it gets dry and hard on the pan. That's what makes it coat well. We did this 3 or 4 times, but the more you use it the better nonstick surface you'll have.
Tips: Don't wash with soap, it'll strip it. We purchased a chainmail scrubber that we love to use. Seems to help smooth it out a little too, but that might be in my head. When I clean it I only use the scrubber and hot water. The more I use the pan the easier it gets to clean.
When you finish cleaning it, don't leave it wet. It'll rust. We just put it back on the stove with the burner on until it's dry. Easy.
Keep in mind that cast iron doesn't exactly heat evenly, but it holds heat well. This just means that you have to sufficiently preheat the pan before you use to ensure even cooking.
Overall I love this pan! It just gets better every time I use it.

I bought this skillet a little while ago and I was surprised how rough the surface finish was. It felt like sandpaper. Given all the positive reviews, I was expecting higher quality. After some research I found instructional videos on how to grind these Lodge skillets smooth, but who has time for that? I found two other American producers of cast iron that come with a smooth finish right out of the box: Stargazer and Finex. The Finex looks interesting but I went with the Stargazer because it's fully machined at half the price. Seems like I made the right call. The design is great, the surface finish is super smooth, and it cooks like a champ. If you're reading this review, do yourself a favor and pass on the Lodge. Go with the Stargazer instead. It's well worth the investment.

Per Amazon International wird's interessant ...
Reviewed in Germany on 29 January 2019Size Name: 10.25"Verified Purchase
Wer kein Gusseisen Kochgeschirr aus China will (auch wenn es gar nicht so schlecht ist wie sein Ruf), gleichzeitig aber nicht die Preise für europäische Produkte zahlen will, sollte mal die verschiedenen Größen der Lodge Serien durchforsten und schauen, welche Produkte es aktuell per Amazon International gibt. Da kosten die Lodge Produkte nämlich deutlich weniger als der hierzulande üblicherweise aufgerufene (und gemessen an der Qualität völlig überzogene) Preis.
Zur Klarstellung:
Lodge ist eine US Amerikanische Billigmarke, die es "über'm Teich" in jedem größeren Supermarkt oder Haushaltswarenladen für kleines Geld gibt. Qualitativ kann Lodge es locker mit den besseren China Produkten aufnehmen und bietet wie diese gleichmäßíge Wandstärken und eine vernünftige Gussqualität. In den USA ist Lodge daher die erste Wahl für relativ günstiges Gussseisen, wenn man die Preise der deutlich teureren Edelhersteller nicht zahlen will.
Wenn die Lodge Produkte dann allerdings nach Deutschland importiert werden, wird daraus plötzlich eine erschreckend hochpreisige "Luxusmarke", die z.T. teurer ist als europäische Produkte (z.B. die sehr guten und noch bezahlbaren Pfannen von Ronneby Bruk). Dank Amazon International sind aber immer wieder mal Artikel von Lodge zu deutlich günstigeren Preisen (trotz internationalem Versand) zu haben. Dann wird es interessant.
In meinem Fall wurden es sechs Gusseisenpfannen von Lodge. Jeweils zwei in 10'', 8'' und 6.5''. Alle zusammen haben inclusive Versand aus den USA kaum mehr gekostet als eine einzelne Skeppshult Pfanne (nichts gegen die Marke, aber die Preise sind überzogen). Zwar war das immer noch gut der doppelte Preis, den man in den USA zahlen würde, aber im gleichen Preissegment gibt es sonst hierzulande nur China Ware, bei der die Qualität stark schwankt.
Zu den Pfannen:
1. Guss- und Verarbeitungsqualität
An der Verarbeitungsqualität der Pfannen gibt es nichts groß auszusetzen. Man darf allerdings auch keine allzu hohen Ansprüche haben, weil es sich wie schon gesagt um günstige Produkte für den US Markt handelt. Gemessen daran gibt es nicht viel zu meckern. Bei den meißten Pfannen sind die Grate nicht perfekt entfernt, aber niemals so, dass es scharfkantig wäre. Mit einem Dremel und etwas Handarbeit ist das schnell behoben, wenn man Wert darauf legt. Wirklich nötig ist es nicht, da die Kanten wie schon erwähnt niemals wirklich scharf sind.
Die Gussqualität war bei fünf von sechs Pfannen ordentlich. Bei einer der 6,5'' Pfannen waren mehrere kleine Löcher im Boden, entweder durch den Einschluss von Luft oder Feuchtigkeit beim Gießen. Die Pfanne wurde problemlos durch Amazon ersetzt.
Alle Pfannen sind nahezu plan und wackeln nur unwesentlich auf einem Glaskochfeld. Man muss schon bewusst beidseitig am Rand zugreifen und wackeln, damit sie sich minimal bewegen. Beim normalen Gebrauch merkt man davon absolut nichts. Bei einer tiefgezogenen Eisenpfanne wäre das ein möglicher Reklamationsgrund, weil diese aufgrund der geringeren Gewichts nicht so "satt" auf dem Herd stehen. Für Gusspfannen empfinde ich es als völlig in Ordnung.
Leider sind auch bei Lodge wie bei den meißten Herstellern von Gusseisen Kochgeschirr heutzutage die Oberflächen der Pfannen sehr rauh, insbesondere die Innenseite. Das ist selbst bei vielen deutlich teureren Marken der Fall, weil es das industrielle Voreinbrennen des Geschirrs durch den Hersteller erleichtert (das Öl, mit dem das Geschirr besprüht wird, haftet so besser). Dadurch haftet das Kochgut tendenziell etwas stärker als bei glatten Oberflächen. Zwar mindert die über die Jahre wachsende Patina in der Pfanne die Sache etwas, wirklich glatt werden solche Pfannen aber nie.
Wer die rauhe Oberfläche nicht will, hat zwei Möglichkeiten. Entweder kauft man eine Pfanne bei einem der wenigen Hersteller, die feiner gießen und anschließend noch die Innenseite polieren - was sich in entsprechend deftigen Preisen niederschlägt (etwa das 6 bis 15-fache einer Lodge). Oder man legt selbst Hand an und bearbeitet die Innenseite der Pfanne mit 60er Schleifpapier nach, bis sie gleichmäßig glatt ist.
2. Produktdesign
Das Design der hier besprochenen Lodge Pfannen ist klassisch. Runde Form, gerade Seitenwände mit kurzem Übergang vom Boden zum Rand und ein kurzer, angegossener Griff, der natürlich entsprechend heiß wird. Bei größeren Pfannen ist noch ein zusätzlicher, eckiger Handgriff vorhanden. Natürlich gibt es von Lodge auch noch andere, modernere Formen. Ich persönlich mag bei Gusseisen aber diese klassische Form, weil man die Pfannen so auch wunderbar zum Backen verwenden kann.
Es gibt modernere Designs, aber grundsätzlich ist die Form der klassischen Lodge Pfannen seit mehr als 100 Jahren bewährt.
3. Preis/Leistung
Zu den in Deutschland aufgerufenen Preisen sind die Lodge Pfannen (und alle anderen Gusseisen Produkte der Firma) überteuert. Es handelt sich um ordentliche Ware im unteren Preissegment für den US Markt, die hierzulande dann zum vielfachen Preis angeboten wird. Hier sollte man mal etwas genauer den nicht gerade kleinen Markt nach europäischen Produkten absuchen. Wenn eine Pfanne aber im Amazon International Programm auftaucht und incl. Versand "nur" noch etwa das doppelte des US-Preises kostet, wird es interessant. In dem Preissegment gibt es dann fast nur noch Konkurrenz aus China, die nichts besser kann als Lodge, aber stark in der Qualität schwankt, während Lodge zuverlässig einfache, aber solide Qualität bietet.
Fazit:
Als Ergänzung zur tiefgezogenen oder handgeschmiedeten Eisenpfanne (die gehört in jede Küche), insbesondere für den Einsatz im Backofen, sind die Lodge Gusspfannen eine gute Wahl für den schmalen Geldbeutel, WENN man sie zu einem angemessenen Preis wie bei Amazon International findet.
