Great Skillet With the Required Care
I own the best hard-anodized aluminum pans - Anolon Allure. But this skillet is for high temperature browning without worry. The non-stick coatings, if turned up too high will emit toxic fumes, especially to birds. Cast iron does not.
Cooking a steak in a nonstick pan you need to let it soak in water for 10 minutes and then use a non-metal potscrubber brush.
Cooking a steak in a nonstick pan you need to let it soak in water for 10 minutes and then use a metal potscrubber brush, then wipe it with a paper towel and place it on a burner for 30 seconds to let any water evaporate. Then very lightly coat it with oil.
Also it best for the heat source to be under ALL the surface area of the bottom of the pan. Using an infrared ... Read More

Not your grandmother's pan
I've had great luck with a lodge dutch over and stove top grill/griddle. In a recent move I somehow managed to misplace my grandmothers old cast iron pan. I was a bit sad about not have that pan anymore but didn't think of it as anything more than a lost memory.
How wrong I was. By comparison this thing is junk. It is significantly thinner and has a very short handle. This is not to say it's a bad pan - it's just not up to the old stuff. I'm not going to return it, in fact I'll use it without complaint. I am, however, going to keep my eye open for something more substantial.
In retrospect I should have ordered a 12" pan. I'm not sure why but 10" of cast iron just looks small.
An iron fry pan straight out of Bedrock
Lodge Logic 10-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet is poorly manufactured. The cooking surface has a "rough" texture which causes food to stick unnecessarily. It should have been ground smooth before leaving the factory. The handle had sharp edges which I needed to file down before using the pan. The "loop" handle was a good idea, otherwise most folks would strain their wrists trying to lift this pan off the stove with one hand. The construction is heavier and "clunkier" than it needs to be to perform its job properly. Overall, Lodge Logic 10-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet is just plain lousy. Anyone who says they're satisfied with this item has never used a good iron fry pan. Lodge Logic 10-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet was manufactured for Wilma Flintstone.
