Amazon.com Review
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. On the small side at eight inches in diameter, this skillet cooks up a couple eggs or hamburgers, or a steak for one. The looped handle allows hanging, and the 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

 Pre-Seasoned is the Way to Go!!! November 11, 2005

After struggling with a set of three regular cast iron pans from a different manufacturer, I finally boxed them up for Goodwill. I never mastered the seasoning part of cast iron usage. I ended up with a sticky residue and one pan rusted. After about three attempts of scouring and reseasoning, I gave up and ordered three Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned skillets.
It is fanstastic. It worked like a charm with the first use -- no problems with sticking at all. I actually smiled while making my burger! My cornbread was also back up to Southern standards thanks to my 10-inch pan.
The 10-inch works well for cornbread and frying. (Actually cast iron is the only way to make good cornbread.) I use the 8 for single burgers. The 6 I bought out of habit, but it also works well for single burgers.
Clean up is relatively easy. Wash with hot water; Lodge does not recommend using soap. Dry thoroughly. I then heat mine on the stove top, turn off the heat, add a tablespoon of oil and use a paper towel to spread the oil on the entire pan inside and out. After the pan cools, I wipe away any excess oil and store the pan.
For anyone who wants a head start on leaving heirloom cast iron pans, I strongly suggest this product.

I'm still using the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet that my mother got for a wedding present in 1954! I give this pre-seasoned version as wedding gifts, housewarming gifts, and to those kids stepping out into their own apartments. Cast Iron is ALWAYS a superior value for the money, and this pre-seasoned version takes the hassle out of "getting it ready to use." Forget expensive wedding registries - buy the bride a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet and Dutch Oven! She'll hand it down to the next generation. A must have for EVERY kitchen
Speaking of Roasted Potatoes June 3, 2006

Another reviewer mentioned roasted potatoes. I agree, this is the perfect little skillet for a single serving size of potatoes. Try this recipe for a late night snack:
1 baking potato
2 or 3 unpeeled garlic cloves, (optional)
1 pat of butter
Shredded cheddar cheese
Olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Wash potato and cut in half lengthwise. Cut the pat of butter in half and place in skillet. Put a potato half, cut side down, on top of each piece. Lightly coat the garlic cloves with olive oil. Place cloves in skillet. Place skillet in oven and bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until tender. The cut portion of the potato will brown and crisp. Remove potato halves and garlic from skillet. Carefully remove garlic skin. Make a slit in the cut portion of the potato halves. Add garlic if using and season to taste with additional butter, salt and pepper. Top with cheddar cheese.
I make this in my 8 inch cast iron skillet a lot. It's the perfect size for single serving meals and snacks. It also makes the best hash browns and since it's not that heavy and already preseasoned, you can flip the hash browns like the pro's!
The 8" and 6" cast iron skillets are also great for tapas. Set them on trivets and serve right at the table.

There is NOTHING like this for making cornbread. I would never go back to making cornbread the way I used to (gasp...in glass pans or muffin tins) before I bought this pan. I always wondered why my cornbread didn't come out right. Now I know!
Fantastic! November 6, 2005

I primarily bought cast iron cookware to escape Teflon, but I found that it's been a fun addition to our kitchen. Though it requires grease, I find seasoned cast-iron just as non-stick as Teflon. Further, one never need worry about scratching.
