Amazon.com Review:
Pancakes, eggs, and bacon somehow taste extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. Fry up a mess of catfish, roast a chicken, or bake an apple crisp in this generous 12-inch pan that features two handles for heavy lifting, and two subtle side lips for pouring. While the skillet comes preseasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations.--Ann Bieri

Content: I wanted a large, cast iron skillet to cook enough sausage for my wife and I for several days and not leave a strong odor in the house. The Lodge, 12" skillet is great! I cook 20 pieces of sausage, in two cookings, on our outside grill to keep the odors out of the house. We store the cooked sausage in the refrigerator and use it as needed. The skillet has also fried some mighty fine bacon and eggs. Clean-up is a breeze. We use the metal spatula to scrap the skillet bottom, pour the grease and scrapings into a jar, wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, and quick wash, if needed.

Content: My fried chicken got burnt a tiny bit, it was still edible. But for a skillet that has never been used before that is better than great. Next time I cook I should get the hang of things and prevent that from happening. My mother and mother-in-law both cook with skillets that have been well seasoned, and I'm very happy to achieve the same with mine.
Summary: Great pre seasoned skillet

Content: This pan is fantastic. Yes, cast iron is a bit heavy, and you will need a potholder as the handle will get hot as you cook. The benefits of this wonderful product well make up for those two. Food tastes great, it is non-stick once properly seasoned, infuses iron into the food (good for you!) and is Made in the USA!
Summary: Lodge Products are great!

Content: After one use, we had rust forming (we didn't scrub it when cleaning and used no soap) so my advice is pre-season again! Besides that, a great pan - there is nothing better than iron skillet cooking.
Summary: Pre-season again!

Content: Once you are "into" cast iron Lodge cooking nothing else compares. Yes, there is a learning curve. Clean up must be soon and automatic ... scour under running water with wood or plastic scrapers ... rinse with water ... heat to dry and put up oiled with a small cheap "oil brush" like you paint with but good fibers ... forget a dab of paper towel. Should everything hit the fan ... this skillet will see you through ... from camping to the kitchen. It just keeps getting better.
