Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet Review
I own several Lodge cast iron products and use them everyday. I have 3 teeneage boys that enjoy cooking, and after they destroyed a few teflon coated pans, I decided I would go heavy into cast iron. These pans are indestructible. You can use them in the oven or stovetop, and if you keep it seasoned properly food will not stick. Also, to avoid sticking problems, you may want to remember to allow the pan to get hot before applying oil or food. As to seasoning, the Logic line now comes preseasoned. But don’t make a big deal about this. To season a cast iron skillet simply coat it lightly with oil and bake it for a half hour or so. I have also seasoned these skillets on the stovetop. Cast iron is also great because it does not easily scrap like stainless steel and aluminum pots. Aluminum pans are painful to me, as my teeth fillings react to the aluminum. With cast iron, you won’t have this problem. I also take my Lodge pan camping and set it right over the coals to cook. No melted handles or scorched bottoms to mess with.

Let me start by saying we have a kitchen full of 20+ pieces of Calphalon Hard Annodized Commercial cookware. I was always of the opinion that quality cookware carried a price that was justified by the performace of the cookware. So I thought if I wanted cast iron I should look at LeCreuset… wrong! Lodge blew that theory out the window! I can’t express how well this simple pan works. Let it get hot and it will hold the temp like nothing else, oven to cooktop. I finally decided to get a good cast iron skillet after hearing Alton Brown (Host of Good Eats – …- TV Food Network – …) rave about cast iron for the last few years. He steared me to Lodge, Lodge’s web site (lodgemgf.com) told me about the pre-seasoned “Logic” line. This stuff makes cast iron simple. No messing around with seasoning a new pan. Simple care instructions. And clear instructions to reseason should the need occur. At the price these pans sell, there is no excuse to not have one, (or more) in your kitchen. It will soon become your favorite pan. I bought a 5 quart Lodge Logic Dutch Oven at the same time and it is fantastic as well!

I’ve only had this skillet for over a month, but I already find myself using it more than any other skillet in my kitchen, including the expensive, supposedly “non-stick” ones. This skillet never sticks, and it is superior for browning not only meat, but also vegetables. I’ve even used it for stir-frying as well as simmering stews, and it performed wonderfully. The pre-seasoned aspect of this skillet is key – I wouldn’t buy any cast-iron product not pre-seasoned anymore, because seasoning it myself is just too frustrating. It’s also important not to use soap to wash this skillet – just water. Remember that as soon as you place it back on the heat source, any bacteria will be automatically destroyed!

I have been using cast iron cookware for nearly 40 years. I thought I took good care of the items, but it seemed like I was constantly reseasoning them. As I got older, the pans seemed to get too heavy for me. I sold all of them (except for my grandmother’s dutch oven) at our farm sale 8 years ago. I really missed them so when I heard of the new preseasoned skillets, I bought the 12-inch skillet in November. That extra helper handle is great and I have no trouble lifting the pan. I really feel that cast iron is the best for frying meats. I have used this skillet several times a week and I really like it.
