(More customer reviews)Kitchen, Fajita Plate Serving Set / B001AT5CGM

We actually bought these fajita plate sets in order to serve hot apple pie "restaurant style" - hot and sizzling on the skillet, with bubbling butter and rapidly melting ice cream...yum!

These plates aren't particularly large - if you wanted to serve a large fajita fixings spread, I'm not certain that you wouldn't want to use two, but then I'm used to the huge restaurant portions and these are probably adequate for home cooking. The cast iron is very solid and sturdy and conducts heat well; and I can testify that they hold up to the occasional dishwasher washing because I tend to toss everything in the dishwasher even when I'm not supposed to.

The wooden bases are, however, really...cheap. Like another reviewer, one of my two wooden bases cracked cleanly in two during shipping and I had to order a replacement from Amazon (a painless process, but it would have been annoying if we'd needed the plates right away for an immediate dinner party or something). So far, the wooden bases haven't cracked from home use, but we've been very careful because the wood just doesn't seem like a high quality. The bases are thick enough - it's just that one can't help but feel that my boyfriend could crack them in half without much exertion. Along the same vein, the hot mitts that come with this are a nice touch but they don't stay attractive for very long - I think the seams will unravel soon on one of them and we haven't even used them that much.

So, all in all, I recommend these plates for occasional use but if you're planning on daily or even weekly regular use, you might want to opt up for something nicer, because you are definitely getting what you pay here for with this skillet. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cornbread Wedge Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very glad that I finally picked up this piece!I have several Lodge pieces and they are all very important pieces in my kitchen.

I would like it to be a little bit larger and was also kind of hoping it would come with some basic cooking instructions.But, since I am fairly experienced with cast iron, I didn't have a hard time figuring out the best way to use this pan.

If anybody out there is thinking about getting it, or has already purchased this pan and has yet to master it, here is what I have come up with -

1)Preheat your oven (I use 450F for cornbread).THEN, put a small amount ofbutter (or whatever fat it is that you prefer) in the wedges and kind of brush it around so that it will coat both the sides and the bottom.Put the pan in the preheated oven to get it nice and hot.

2)Meanwhile, have your cornbread batter ready to go.I found that it takes about half of the recipe that I was using in an 8" square Pyrex previously.Take the pan out of the oven (I have one of those Lodge skillet handle potholders that works great).IMMEDIATELY, spoon the batter into the wedges.I have found (through trial & error) that filling each well to about 3/16" from the top works great.Get it right back in the oven.For me, 15-16 minutes baking time seemed to be about perfect.

As long as you heat up the pan and the fat that you use in the pan (I prefer a little tiny bit of butter in each well), it will cook evenly and nothing will stick to the pan.I mean, there isn't even residue in the corners or anything.The pan looked clean when I removed the cornbread.I did this several times with identical results.

One more hint for the day - If you want to additionally season the pan (I did this before the first time I used it), scrub it out and dry it VERY well.Place a thin coat of Crisco over every surface of the pan.Don't slather it on thickly, and be sure that the top surfaces don't have any excess (I gently run a paper towel over the top ridges of the pan). Preheat the oven to 400-425F.Put the pan in the oven upside down, so that there is less surface area on the oven rack, and leave it in the hot oven for at least anhour.Turn off the oven, leaving the pan inside to cool of its own accord.You will have a beautifully seasoned pan that doesn't have the residue that you get using oil.
