Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet (9 Inch, Black)

This product is simply amazing and of very best quality that is available on Amazon. Its just worth an investment as it will last a lifetime with the right handling. Following are my comments after one month of usage.Pros:1. This is an original Lodge product and the very weight and finishing of it prove the quality.2. Forget about all the non-stick and surgical grade SS pans. The food never sticks to the bottom (Ofcoursre with the right temperature)3. Heats up very quickly and evenly and most of the cooking can be done on low flame and no scorching of food.4. Whatever the cooking maybe, every time the results are perfect. You will find the difference from the very first use with the taste and the texture of the food.5. The depth of the pan and the handle is perfect for roasting or baking in the oven or stove. Also, the side lips are very convenient for pouring6. Being cast iron, cooked food is healthier.Cons:I am still not able to find one :)Note:Cleaning and seasoning of this product is very easy and I follow the below steps:1. Wash it with any dishwashing detergent and scrub.2. Dry it with a cloth immediately and put it on fire. (You may find rust patches if you leave it longer in water)3. Once the pan is hot, pour a small spoon full of any vegetable oil and spread in a very thin coat on entire pan.4. Again put the pan on fire and heat it well. (Don't allow it to smoke)Thanks to ATM Retail and Amazon for this wonderful product

Best Cast Iron pan ever. Best Steaks

It's very sturdy, easy to clean, easy to handle. Please wash and dry the skillets immediately after use and apply a thin coat of any cooking oil to prevent from rusting INITIALLY.. Those who love to cook should try Lodge Cast Iron skillets..I am glad to say that its been working well .

Good quality. Good product. I thought it would be non sticking like teflon coated pan. But just like iron kadai we used in our childhood.

This is my first pan, it has been 2 years and I am very happy about it. I did not want to use non stick pans so iron pans is the very old option. Yes it does rust and that makes it look brown but that is how cast iron pans/vessel are. It will happen if you leave it in water or just wet. What I have learnt and this goes for any iron cookware :1. Wash and dry wipe it, leaving it with water will make it rust.2. Season it before cooking, sometime before every use. Otherwise food will stick. not only that your food will get that blacish/greyish colour from the pan.3. Avoid cooking acidic food as again it will darken the food, especially sour food like tamarind, might even change the taste of your food. But you can saute if enough oil is added.4. Keep patience and you will learn how to use it.

This skillet has already saved me thousands of rupees in expensive restaurants and potentially greater taste. My fiancee and I cook regularly in this skillet.Maintain and season it well. It will last you a lifetime.
