Great for Eggs
I bought this on a Whim, I think it was on Special for less than $8.00 You can't beat Cast Iron, Once it's seasoned properly, even though these are Pre-Seasoned, They just seem to cook better if you season them with oil for a 1/2 hour on Low heat. This Pan works Great for Frying 1 - 2 Eggs or Sautéing onions, peppers etc..or even frying a single Hamburger. I definitely end up using it more than I thought. Glad I bought it. Loge Cast Iron Skillet By far cast iron is the best cooking medium we have ever used. The larger items are a little heavy but these blow doors on our all-clad set. Awesome butter pan on the grill I grill over charcoal several times a week. I use this pan to melt butter that I brush over corn on the cob that I am roasting. The Lodge quality is great and shipping was fast. Mini Meal-maker......... I was surprised by the size when it arrived. The outer diameter is around 6.5" but the cooking surface is about 4.5". Still, its not too small. Thank God, I thought of getting the miniature skillet instead of this!! I think its good for 1 omelette or cookie or pancake. I'm using it for seasoning spices, called as "Tadka" or "Thaalippu" as in Indian cuisine - very ideal. But the pre-seasoned finish was more brown than black along with some tiny pores. But then, just after 2 uses, it is trying to look somewhat black with the application of oil. I followed the instructions that came with the skillet. Also, the glue that sticks the instructions card to the skillet came out well as if it was a non-stick pan (Somewhere in some lodge reviews, I read that the glue was scoured out of the pan causing discoloration). And GUESS WHAT......I got it for FREE....YES, as part of the 4-for-3 promotion. That's the best thing about this skillet. It came in along with 2 other stuff neatly packaged and was on time. THANKS Amazon.... Nice like other Lodge items, but small I bought this and am pleased with it, but I laughed when I opened the box. It is quite small. The 6 1/2 measurement is the external width, the bottom of the frying pan is closer to 5 or 5 1/2 inches. So you can make it burger, but it's tight. I still like it for the price and the unusual size and recommend it when purchased knowing what you're getting. | |
