Seasoned, ready to use. This skillet is a kitchen's most essential item. The even heating of cast iron is necessary for golden, tender, perfectly pan-fried chicken. What other cookware can rival the heat retention, versatility, value and durability of cast iron.. 10-1/4 inch diameter.
The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box. After cooking, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately.
Breakfast in particular somehow tastes extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching and sear meat at higher temperatures. A good all-purpose size at 10-1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, this skillet can fry up eggs, pancakes, steaks, chicken, hamburgers, and can bake desserts and casseroles as well. A helper handle aids in lifting, and the looped primary handle allows hanging. Two side spouts pour off grease or juice. Even though the pan comes pre-seasoned, applying a little vegetable oil before use helps prevent food from sticking. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Exactly what I was looking for:
I got my skillet yesterday and have only used it once so far, but man was it great. I grilled some onions and then added some rice, lintels and tomatoes to make stuffing. The pan gave a beautiful golden brown to the onions that I was having trouble getting with my non stick cookware, but it still didn't grab on to them an burn them. It gave the whole dish a great lightly browned flavor. I am already contemplating what I want to use it for this morning for breakfast.
Excellent product. Food tastes even better when prepared in this skillet.:
Growing up my Mother had what she called a "Dutch Oven" that looked like the purchase I made. This product is comparable to it. The food I prepared was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this purchase to anyone who loves to cook as I do.
First Steak:
I received this Lodge Logic 10" Skillet from Amazon today and couldn't wait to try it out. I didn't really go through any extra seasoning process...at least not a full one. I did put some vegetable oil in it and put it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes while I began preparing my meal. I decided to make a Beef Tenderloin from Omaha Steaks with a red wine reduction glaze. When I removed the skillet from the oil had glazed the skillet and was smoking a great deal. I actually turned the oven off and kept... more info
classic and well seasoned:
Got this to fry chicken in but the sides are not deep enough. Go a dutch oven for that job but added this to my inventory. It never hurts to have more than one regular skillet. The ad seemed like it was going to be deeper.
