Lodge Boy Scouts of America Pre-Seasoned 12-Inch Skillet

For daily cooking

Amazing, before buying the size is imp, I picked the biggest scout one and I am in love. A must buy

Top quality

Received a broken skillet, how can a cast iron skillet be broken in this fashion? Is this really original Lodge product? I doubt, is Amazon playing games? I have no words, pathetic! How can I trust Lodge once again? If I replace it, will it last long? I freaking doubt!!

Received a damage product disappointed to return this

Omg. Super cool. Good one

Oh my Gosh! This is HEAVY. I had to lift it with both hands. And did a phew! after keeping it back 😅 The 15” pan is wide. It is definitely sturdy too. Will try cooking to review it further. This utensil is not for the faint hearted!

After I learned to season it quick like 7 times, and started using a bush and cup with a dap of oil on the side I kept around to wipe with oil when done, and learned to due to size I needed to have rag on edge of sink when dumping out water, and then I often but not always heat up water in electric kettle to pour in when done cooking in order to not shock it. I find after all this that I actually do basically no scrubbing, just a bit of scraping with the metal spatula while the hot water is in it. And then I use a silicone handle on one side I had gotten and I want to get the other side for the silicone side to hold but I just use a pot holder for the other side, thicker one. But I find now that this is an ideal pan to cook everything and anything and many things. I just leave it on top of my stove for daily use. And the weight, for the same reason a mechanics arms are big while not lifting, their muscles are big purely due to making the same motion every day repetitively with the wrench. It’s called a hermetic stressor, the same way weight session (more stressful obviously) and a hot sauna, cold plunge, run, etc, are all good forms of stress that cause adaptation, So to does this just cause you to lift a heavier pot a few times a day as you cook. For vast majority of us it’s nothing. But I told my mom for instance that she should use it and she complained how heavy it was, and my brutal honest response was “that’s exactly why you need to be using it because it’s not like you are working out”. It won’t make you buff, just a bit heavier than a similiar size pan, but for the older crowd who find it important to get their exercises in at the pool and such, this is no different. Plus, once I learned to clean efficiently and season a couple times, it’s a god send of a pan. I love it. I just want to put that “it’s too heavy” criticisism that comes with cast iron in a new light. Your body adapts, allow it too gradually. I will at some point be adding a top to this, I just haven’t decided if I need to get the lodge glass one which would be nice or a silicone one for this, or just a cast iron one to keep the theme and look and durability forever. (Glass and silicone could both break in different ways). I do love this pan as I will admit, one of the reason I got this pan, being some one who can be hard on things by temperment, after knowing roughly how to care for this pan, I also have a lisence to absolutely abuse it and can’t scratch it or anything. Because once you have researched a couple of ways to take rust off and to totally reseason and recondition an old used on for instance, you have the confidence to own this the rest of your life and not ever feel like your going to rune it. I’m also strategically lazy, I call efficient, my mom thinks different, lol, but anyway, the fastest way to clean any pan is with hot water right when done cooking as it burns and melts stuff right off, I can do that with this without worrying how it affects coatings or anything and I can do that to kingdom come. I just try to throw water from kettle on it ideally but not always. Again, the point of these pans is the amazing non stick coating that develops after use and learning to season a few more times your self, but that you can absolutely abuse these pans and know they will last. There is a certain security that’s nice to feel with knowing that. The fact that it has a great non stick that develops after some use and is durable Af, I’m in love. Plus ever seen those videos on YouTube about how baking/pizza steel beats baking/pizza stones every time because of how the metal works vs the ceramic of the stone. It just hit me that this pan is also big enough to make a 15 inch pizza, and when making one for one to a few people depending how thick it is, that’s a good size to use as a pizza steel in the oven. I do even ti ally want a baking steel as I even learned you can leave those in your oven as it helps regulate the temperature in oven by functioning as a ballast in your oven. Don’t even have to clean those. Just let the oven burn stuff off. None the less, till then this will work as a great pizza steel surface too. ++. I don’t have much sense of smell, a bit impulsive so I tottally would put it on “HIGH” on the stove every time. Might turn it down at times but it always creates smoke which didn’t matter to me, but got my mom has the higher disgust sensitivity (these two traits in the house do not get along well) anyway, I out of impatience realized I had a habit of heating it up quickly on high, Then I realized I tested how long it takes to smoke with the oil I was using to season it after each cook. I timed how long on high, waited till room temp, tested how long on medium, etc. Did this for any cast iron and carbon steel pans I have too. And in this one I can get away on our gas burner stove on high: High Canola 400°-450° 4m 34s Medium Canola 400°-450° 6m 43s 400°-450°=smoke point at which smoke appears as the oil is actually starting to burn (note health wise causing this isn’t healthy so avoid normally by following these instructions). You can do the same test on your stove with your seasoning pans. And now I just run it for 3mins on high but then turn to medium or lower. Could probably get away with 3:30 duration on high. But this way you can cook at medium or a tad lower after.

Esta muy grande. Es el primer sartén de este tamaño que tengo. Está genial caben de 3 a 4 cortes de 🥩 carne (new york o rib eye) aprox a mi me sirvió para hacerlos más rapido. Esta cosa calienta un buen. Se tarda un poco pero una vez ya en su punto agárrate porque sella la 🥩 carne muy bien o calienta lo que le pongas rapidamente. No es perfecto ,tiene pequeños defectos de fabricación en la imagen de los cuchillos las puntas señalan a 2 pequeños hoyos en el sarten, pero no significa que por eso no funcione. Tengan en cuenta que pesa, pesa bastante y es muy difícil de manipular con una mano. Me gustó mucho, la marca ya la conocía y me ah gustado como ah resultado. Estos tipos de sartenes te duran toda la vida con sus respectivos cuidados ( el dejarlos en agua💧toda la noche los daña, es el cáncer de estos materiales) Lo consegui en oferta de 1495 está genial porque en tiendas departamentales es casi 3 veces ese precio. Si lo ven en oferta y les gustan estos sartenes, no duden en animarse.

Heavy as expected, if treated well allows perfect fried eggs non stick.

Bought this cast iron skillet some years ago and could not be happier. It comes preseasoned but that seasoning doesn't last long. I had to un-rust the skillet and reseason a few times but it was totally worth the effort. Now it cleans like a dream with little more than a soapy rag and cooks SO well. This pan has become a staple in my house and will cook anything. I can't even remember what I used before. I know I sound like a raving fool but this really has worked out well for me. The Boy Scout emblem is nice but I think I initially chose this skillet because it was the only one that was part of an Amazon promotion: buy 3 get 1 free in cookware. I bought a lid to go with it and a couple of other cast iron items included in the promotion. The pan is heavy as most cast iron cookware tends to be but I'm so used to it now. I wouldn't trade my cast iron cookware for anything. So glad I upgraded.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto come regalo per mio marito. Conoscevo già la marca in quanto abbiamo un altro tegame più piccolo della Lodge. Il prodotto è buono, resistente e può essere utilizzato sui fornelli, in forno o nel barbecue. Io non amo molto pulirlo in quanto non possono essere utilizzati detersivi né soggette abrasive (ci pensa mio marito 😉). Ad ogni modo, lo consiglio.
