Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being the proud owner of several other Lodge cooking vessels, I boldly tried my hand at frying.All I can say is wow.
The chicken fryer works wonders on chicken, veal, and cube steak.All of the cast iron properties come in to play when using the fryer, and it provides the control and the stability needed when frying foods.The heavy weight gives it stability, and the heat retention properties mean that you can control your cooking efforts more efficiently.
Try the fryer, you won't be disapointed!

Product Description:
Lodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, but now the company adds another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. All Lodge Logic cookware, including this 5-quart chicken fryer, comes preseasoned via a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system and is ready for cooking right out of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in your home oven before use. During the timesaving preseasoning process, oil penetrates deeply into the cast-iron surface while a high-temperature gas oven seals it in, preserving the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.
The chicken fryer measures 12 inches in diameter and 3-1/4 inches deep--an ideal size for not only frying poultry, but also making casseroles, enchiladas, and pan sauces. The vessel is deeper than most skillets, and delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention is especially ideal for slow-cooking recipes that call for tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. In addition, the underside of the iron lid contains several self-basting tips that encourage the condensed juices to continually remoisten the food, keeping the contents succulent and tasty. With proper care, Lodge Logic cast-iron cookware will last a lifetime. Lodge recommends hand washing the fryer, which carries a lifetime warranty, with a stiff brush and hot water.

Tramontina Pro 3004 12 in Saute Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful and very well built nonstick frying pan.It has nice thick aluminum and a solid looking Teflon surface.But it has one serious design problem:the handle is so thick, long, and heavy that when placed on an electric burner---the large as well as small ones---the handle makes the pan tip, so that most of the bottom of the pan isn't even contacting the heating element.If you pour in an egg or batter at this point, it will flow to one side.

If you have one of those completely flat stove tops, or a gas range with a 12" wide support frame, the pan should be able to lie flat.But the handle is so long, it is hard to keep it out of the way of other burners or things on your counter top.

If this pan had a 2" shorter handle, it would be really superb.

Since the silicone handle cover over the aluminum handle is removable, if you just HAVE to have this pan---and you own a metal saw--- you could saw 2 inches off the handle, and be in bliss.Or, more practically, you could hook some counterweight to the edge opposite the handle and keep it flat on the burner that way.

Lodge Logic 11-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Grill Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I honestly cannot say enough good things about this pan.At first I was skeptical and a little hesistant about cooking with cast iron.Growing up in the south I knew the magic of cast iron cornbread made with fatback, but I also knew the special care that went into seasoning the beloved pieces of cookware.When I saw that this was preseasoned I went for it.I worried that it might be a lightweight pan and only sublime quality for the price but I was pleasantly surprised.This pan has a heavy weight to it and is crafted solidly.I've used it for hamburgers (they make the best I've ever tasted), grilled chicken, pork chops, and shrimp (YUM).Something I learned is that things tend to stick a little so coating the pan with vegetable spray is a good idea.Also, try soaking your shrimp in a mixture of butter and garlic before grilling it. I am in love, it hasn't even left my kitchen counter to go into the cabinet since I bought it because I use it so much.My husband being a Yankee wasn't used to the goodness of the cast iron but now that he sees how perfectly it browns meat while still leaving it moist he is hooked.With this pan I find the grooves to be so helpful.You can season the meat without worrying about all the seasoning burning to the pan.Also they're nice and deep so that the fat that does run off actually stays off the meat.Cleaning it is SO easy!I just run hot water into the pan while it's still hot from the stove then use a sponge or dish towel (NO SOAP) to wipe it out, rinse it off, and then spray with vegetable spray while it's warm before putting it away.I have to say that Lodge has a loyal fan in me.With quality old time cookware like this, without the hassle of seasoning it first you can't go wrong.

Olvida 13 Inch Nickel Plated Cast Iron Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cooks Illustrated reviewed this product favorably and was the catalyst for my purchase.To have something with all the benefits of cast iron and the benefits of stainless steel was worth the extra expense.

It's pretty disappointing that these expecations were never met.

The skillet arrived with a "hole" in the cooking surface about the size of a pinhead.I was very concerned about this and tried to contact Olvida directly about it.Turns out Olvida is just a marketing label and this product is turned out by a small plating foundry in the Eastern United States. After expressing my concern about the hole, I was told not to worry about it as the nickel plating was 100% covered and was safe to use.

Still not convinced, I cooked up a pair of cheap pieces of meat just to put it through a single use cycle.Olive oil, pork, spices - it cooked evently but was an absolute pain to clean.The finish was marred, discolored and showed very uneven heating discoloration.I followed the directions for cleaning and then put it in the dishwasher once it cooled.

When I pulled it out, that single pin hole I was concerned about showed it's true colors.Rust. The assurances that I was given that the product was safe and as described were false.

Save your money, get a regular cast iron or a ceramic cast iron and put the elbow grease into maintaining it.It'll be worth it in the long run.
Do not purchase this product.

Lodge Original Finish 8-Inch Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally purchased a Lodge 8-Inch skillet for use when camping, but I quickly discovered why so many cooks prefer cast iron cookware (almost all cast iron cook pieces are rated at 5 stars).It is very durable, conducts heat better, and with proper care it will develop a natural non-stick coating that will last for generations.Perhaps more subjectively, I think that meats tend to taste better when cooked in it.
Now, I have abandoned my collection of cheap aluminum non-stick cookery and most of my meals are prepared in this skillet.From chicken fajitas to stir fry, the skillet is what I use most, followed closely by the microwave.
Cleaning is simple: I scrub with hot water, place it back on the eye to boil off the water, then wipe it down with oil.I find that I am conscious enough to do it right after cooking, whereas a pot would end up sitting in the sink waiting to be cleaned.As a result, it seems as if cooking with cast iron is faster and easier.
Now, I almost exclusively use the skillet for cooking.It took a couple of attempts before I got it seasoned correctly, but the skillet is now darkening nicely.
The 8-inch skillet is perfect for me, not too large, nor too small.It is big enough to fry up several pieces of chicken, or large enough to make French toast.
Note: Lodge makes two different lines of cast iron cookware.If you don't want to have to season it yourself, I would recommend you buy the Logic brand of Lodge cookware.They are pre-seasoned and ready to use and well worth a few extra bucks.

Lodge Logic L8SGP3 Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's cast iron, so you can run this pan as hot as you dare to sear the flavor in. Makes excellent burgers and brats, with nice grill marks but no burned spots, even when well-done. Try that with a George Foreman and your burger will be black outside and dryer than the Mojave Desert inside.
The square pan provides plenty of room to fry up a few burgers and the hot juices in the bottom are made-to-order for sauteeing a few mushrooms, onions, or peppers to go on top. The handle is fatter than older Lodge designs and quite ergonomic as long as you're wearing an oven mitt. Cleans nicely by boiling a little water in the pan and giving it a quick scrub with a stiff round natural-bristle vegetable brush and the hottest water that'll come out of the tap.
I would recommend this pan over the 11.5" one Lodge also offers because the thicker bottom, smaller sides, and deeper walls of the 10.5" pan provide fairly even heat over the entire grill surface.It appears that the 11.5" pan is based on the griddle of the same size, and my 11.5" griddle is hot near the center and cooler near the edges when used on a burner - OK for hash browns, but bad for burgers, grilled cheese, and such.
Excellent product; if you can't grill outside, this pan is the next best thing!

Product Description:
Pre seasoned and ready to use, this square cast-iron grill pan provides an array of convenient features. The pan's ribbed bottom keeps food up and away from grease for low-fat cooking, while at the same time making tasty-looking stripes across grilled favorites. To avoid what some consider the mysterious or time-consuming process of "seasoning" cast iron pans, Lodge makes the benefits of cast iron effortless. After evenly coating all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil, the cookware is put into an extremely high-temperature industrial oven, which bakes the coating into the surface. The result is a better-looking and better-performing pan than if it was seasoned at home. A hole in the pan's sturdy handle allows for hanging the item when not in use. The square grill pan measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 1-3/4 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

Lodge Cast-Iron 12" Skillet - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a superior item. I have had a few cast iron pieces before and was always looking for one that would solve a few of my hang ups. Namely: The handles get too hot and they look like an item from an old western camp cook out.

I have always loved my cast iron iron cookware, they are virtually indestructable, cook evenly and clean up is a snap. I have had a 12" skillet for 5 years and used it about 2-5 times a week, every week for those 5 years. Very heavy usage because of the reasons stated above. That skillet was seasoned to perfection. Eggs would slide off of it like they were cooked on glass. My only hang up was that I was constantly burning my hand on the handles, and those of you how have experience with cast iron know that the hot handles are unforgiving when you pick one up after it has been on the stove top. Unforgiving indeed.

My girlfriend has a complete set of Calphalon cookware. It's great looking in our modern style kitchen and preforms okay. The heat distribution isnt as even as my cast iron and I hate the fact that I have to use specific tools (non metallic) that wont damage the non stick surface. Once the non stick surface is scratched the $150 Calphalon pan is ruined.

I saw this skillet online and decided to give it a try. This skillet seems to solve all my problems. It looks as great as my girlfriends pricey Calphalon and it preforms to prefection.I opened the package, which was substantial for protecting the pan during shipping, the pan arrived in mint condition. I immediately loved the look and weight of the pan. Lighter than my old 12" skillet. However, the look and weight are more for my vanity, but I bought it to cook food better not jsut sit on my stove top looking great, the preformance would be the real test. My eyes glazed over as I got the idea of frying up some eggs or maybe a burger right then. I rinsed it off (and towel dryed it) and turned toward my fridge for something to try it out with. What to do, what to do?....ah, BACON. Perfect, I wanted the first test to be on a fatty food to aid in the seasoning. On the first 4 strips went. I have to say, I thought the pre-seasoning was a gimic and that I would have to season the pan myself. The bacon didnt stick at all, even before the fat sizzled up. The heat was even and it cooked as well as any cast iron does. Perfection. My next 4 strips went on. Everything is perfect, I can use any tongs I have including my easy to grip metal ones. Cast iron is virtually indestructable. It's doing great! As I was distracted over the brillance of my beautiul yet functional new toy, I reached down to move the pan off the burner without thinking that it was hot (I make this mistake all too often), in the instant that my hand closed on the handle, I thought, "Oops, this is going to hurt". But low and behold, the steel handle was actually still room tempature after doing 8 strips of bacon. So was the assist handle on the other side. I have since found that it stays cool to enough to touch through out alnost all of my stovetop applications (it does heatup in the oven though as one would expect).

I have found a true heirloom piece.

I have since used it enough that the seasoning has built up even more and it is just about where my 5 year old workhorse skillet was before I retired it to camping duty. The eggs are starting to roll off my new skillet like glass.

It cleans only with water and a dedicated non-soap scrubber. It cleans easier than any pan I have and looks like new (except for the seasoned inner surface). I also wipe it down with salt and olive oil every so often.

My friends and relatives envy the pan whenever they visit. So, it also solved another problem of mine, what to get my loved ones for holiday gifts.

Lodge Logic Skillet with Assist Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item based on other reviews and I am not sorry I made the purchase for several reasons.I love Lodge Cast Iron, Amazon has the best prices anywhere and free shipping.However, I was taken aback by the size of this skillet. It is huge!I tried it on my gas range and it takes up the front and the back burners but adjustments are needed to keep the sides from burning.

If it is used on just the front burner (the larger burner) the flame is directed to the middle of the pan but there is so much skillet left over that the outer edges never get really hot. I would think the 13inch skillet (which I just purchased also) would make a more reasonable purchasebecuase it is between a 12 which might be too small and the 15 1/4 which is toooooo big!

Paula Deen Cast Iron Skillets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a wonderful skillet. It is nice a heavy which helps it to heat evenly. The handle is long so it doesn't heat up too much when cooking. Even with the pan on the stove a couple of hours the handle was only warm to touch. The small side handle does heat up quickly so be careful. The design is functional with the little spout on the side to pour off liquid and the swirl pattern gives what might be considered a "rustic" pan an elegant feel. Though it is preseasoned I would recommend seasoning it yourself as well. Great pan! - just be prepared for a workout, it's heavy! :-)
