LODGE(ロッジ) ロジック10 1/4インチスキレット フライパン L8SK3

This skillet is everything I wished for in a cast iron, as I've seen many chefs cook with one. This is my first cast iron, and had to get used to keeping it dry and well seasoned, but I must say it is worth the effort if you take the time to maintenance this skillet. My meat is much crispier on the outside, while maintaining the juice inside, my eggs cook to perfection, and cooking mixed dishes such as fried rice or paella come out amazing. It is rather heavy, even in terms of cast iron, however it does have a support handle on the opposing side so you can lift and carry it with two hands (please remember to use oven mits so you don't burn yourself!). Unfortunately my Japanese oven is a bit too small to fit the skillet inside, so I haven't been able to test baking with it as some recipes often call for, but this pan retains heat amazingly well, especially if you opt in for the matching lid.

使いやすいです

使い始めが工業用？油の匂いがして、不快でしたが何度か使用して、気にならないようになってきました。あとは鉄がしっかりしていて、重いですが大変気にいっています。簡単な手入れさえすればいいので長持ちですね。 ところで、付ける油は、オリーブオイルはダメですよ。使えるのは、サラダ油 ごま油 で一番いいのはアマニオイルですよ。

料理好きの友達へのプレゼントしました。 それから、キャンプのときは何かしらこのスキレットを利用して料理を作ってくれます。 そして蓋は別途購入しましたが、この商品は何年使っても色褪せない良さがあると思っています。 ただ、やはりそれなりに重いので、女性は扱うのが大変かもしれません。

もうこのフライパンを10年以上愛用してます。テフロンにはない使い心地で野菜やお肉を焼いてます。

私は男ですが多少重く感じます。女の子には厳しいと思います。ですが何回か使っていると慣れます。この大きさで、大人2人.子供1人分の料理をまかなえます。目玉焼きは5〜6個いけます。育っていくのが楽しみです。くっつく人は（私も）毎回油をひきましょう

レビューを見てると「重い」の文字がありましたが、予想以上に重さを感じました(💦) IHなのでフライパンを振ったりする訳じゃないから大丈夫かな?と思ったのですが、フライパンを片手で持ってお皿に盛り付けるのは・・・、出来ないです。 でも、さすが厚みのある鉄製は伝導率がいいので美味しく仕上ります。

お肉を焼く以外に大豆や生ピーナッツやカボチャの種を煎るのに使っています。 鉄板が厚いので煎りやすいし早めに火を止めて余熱も利用できます。 最近はステーキプレスとしても使っています。 鳥もものバジル焼きなど皮目を下にフライパンに2枚並べて焼き、このスキレットを直火で焼いといて鶏肉にジューと置きます。重みがあるので押さえなくてもすぐ焼けます。 間にアルミ箔を挟むと洗わなくても大丈夫です。 スキレットをしっかり焼いて置くと鶏肉を返さなくてもとても美味しく焼けます。 ステーキプレスの購入も収納も不要だしこのアイデアは我ながらヒットです！ 皆さまも是非やってみてください。

TL;DR: I have one and I love it. But it works different than a regular pan. I picked one of these up about four years ago during the COVID lockdown. It's a solid workhorse that I have been using for almost all personal cooking. I believe these are still proudly made in the USA, and they are still affordable compared to other cookware. The skillet is especially good for making steaks, burgers, omelettes, bacon, and seared onions. I've been using it a lot to cook marinated beef, pork, and chicken from Hmart (the Korean supermarket). Another favorite dish is roasted sweet potatoes. I've been using avocado oil as a healthier cooking oil. I have only used it on the stovetop, but it can also cook inside the oven. The 10.25" size has worked well for me. I usually fire it up to cook a week's worth of meals. At this point, it would be worth having a second one for parallel processing. If you haven't used a cast iron skillet before, there are some special considerations. Especially around cleaning and seasoning, which are related. Seasoning is like a chemical treatment of the cast iron to keep food from sticking too much to the cooking surface. There will be some sticking though, and it is important to clean after each use. Although these are less non-stick than "non-stick pans", cast iron also does not contain synthetic chemicals like PFAS that have been used in non-stick cookware. PFAS are apparently harmful to ingest and start getting into food as the cooking surface degrades. Cast iron cookware is from an era before these chemicals became so widespread. Here is some cast iron guidance from my experience. Do not run it through the dishwasher. Do not leave it in the sink, especially in contact with water (to avoid rust). Preferably avoid cleaning it with soap and water altogether. Do not pour cold water into a hot skillet since the temperature shock might cause it to crack. Avoid setting the heat too high on the stovetop; this burns off your hard-earned seasoning and may set off the fire alarm. I usually set the burner to 3-4 out of 10. Before using the skillet, I followed a suggestion on the internet about sanding down to the bare metal and starting over with my own seasoning. Lodge's casting process apparently results in the rough texture, and I think their factory seasoning also contributes. Other brands offer skillets with much smoother surfaces, but they seem to cost substantially more, and I don't mind a little DIY for something like this that should last a very long time. I didn't have power sanding tools so I sanded by hand, removing the factory seasoning and smoothing down the metal. To kickstart the new seasoning, I applied an imperceptibly thin layer of oil and baked the skillet in the oven. I repeated that several times. Then, for the first cook, I fried some potatoes, onions, and butter. I did another round with bacon. The bacon was delicious, but I just realized that I still have the grease saved from it in the back of the fridge... After that I just used the skillet normally. I didn't note down my exact process like the sandpaper grits, and the number of oven seasoning rounds, and the type of oil I used, but there is plenty of detailed guidance on the internet if you need it. After each use, I clean it and then finish off by applying the thinnest possible coat of grapeseed oil (which is less expensive than avocado oil) while the skillet is cooling down on the stovetop. I apply the oil to the entire skillet including the handle and the underside. I used a paper towel or napkin to wipe off any excess oil - if you don't do this, it becomes a layer of crust rather than seasoning. Not a big deal though, it can be scraped off. For my cleaning process, I keep the skillet heated. I boil a pot of water and pour it on the skillet to burn off most of the residue. I use a wooden spoon to scrape off anything that's still stuck on. Sometimes a metal spatula helps if the spoon isn't scrapey enough. I pour the greasy run off into disposable cups and let them cool before taking them out to the dumpster. I would say to avoid pouring this stuff down the drain. One of my most useful resources has been the YouTube channel "Cowboy Kent Rollins". Definitely check him out if you're new to cast iron cooking and want to get advice from a cowboy guy. There are some Lodge accessories (or similar from third parties) that might be worth checking out: this includes scrapers, chain mail scrubbers, silicone handles, and lids. One more thing to mention is that there are a variety of Lodge skillets with special designs on the back. I got a basic one with the logo. A special design might be cool if you have multiple skillets (to tell them apart) or if you are giving one as a gift.

I was a bit worried about this pan because it was so expensive but I’m so glad I bought it, it’s exactly what I wanted, excellent quality and very heavy, it heats evenly and holds the heat for a long time after the gas is off. I have fried steak but mostly pancakes for the kids. Highly recommend it.

I like the quality But the package was Ripped and damaged

The quality is good—it's heavy, sturdy, and built to last. It offers great heat distribution and retains heat superbly, making it perfect for searing and achieving an even cook. I find it easy to clean, and by making sure to oil it after cleaning, I’ve had no issues with rust. This skillet is absolutely a good long-term investment and will only get better with age and use. A perfect 5-star product!
