Lodge L3SK3 Round Skillet with Handle, 16.5 x 3.1 cm, 6.25inch, Black

I absolutely love my cast iron pans. I am currently working on replacing all of my pans with Lodge pans as I have found them to be consistently the best. And everything just seems to taste better cooked in cast iron. But you do need to know how to look after them. It frustrates me seeing ppl complain because their cast iron has rust on it. If you look after it properly, it really will last you a lifetime.

I've bought a couple of these at around £12 and for the price it's a brilliant no-nonsense cast iron pan, great for a single burger or egg, small quantity of onions or mushrooms, etc. - good to have. Does require seasoning, but that's less annoying than when they say 'pre-seasoned' & it's insufficient and requires seasoning anyway IMO!

Have a few lodge cast iron product as I think it is one of the best quality, simple, natural and reasonably priced cookware. Bought this mini skillet for cooking while hiking or outdoors. I like it so much that I just bought another same size and one with the animal print on the bottom of the skillet.

I’ve owned multiple Lodge cast iron pans in the past which have all been great and there’s not much to complain about with this ~5inch one other than the useable space, you can only fit 1 small-average sized burger in it but it’s too small for a steak (maybe a small fillet mignon but standard ribeye/sirloin won’t fit), also useful for things like veggies as sides or a couple of eggs. Shame the other sizes are so overpriced or I’d pick up more.To clean I use warm water and a wire ball scrubber you can find in any supermarket, dry it immediately with paper towels then apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to keep it seasoned/non stick and prevent rusting. Occasionally use some soap or baking soda if really needed for tough burnt on bits but you don’t want to do this often as it can penetrate into the pan leaving a funny taste the next time you cook, occasionally flipping the pan upside down over a gas cooker or bbq/grill to do a burn off can be a good way of “sterilising” it if required.

Bought this just make eggs 🍳 on it . Great product. Very heavy and the handle heats up .But hey , that’s what you get from a cast iron skillet. 10/10

The good small size 6.5” for a one person dish [2 eggs], the only downside of it is the faulty pan ie rust. Hence av.3 stars =5 stars for size & weight + 1 star for defects

Excellent pan.I have refused to use non stick or aluminium pans for several years on health grounds and was really pleased when the newer ceramic non stick pans came onto the market. However, just like non sticks, the ceramic pans don't stay non stick for long. Plus I have a new induction cooker and only the expensive premium ceramic pans work on induction. ( I did try a couple of cheaper ceramic induction pans but the quality was appalling. One small ceramic "induction" pan had so little iron content that a magnet barely gripped and it buzzed loudly on the hob, another simply didn't register as suitable for use on an induction hob at all). Plus I'm just so fed up with forking out for new pans when the ceramic non stick fails, so I decided to go back to basics and use iron again.The first time I used the pan, even after extra seasoning, I had a mess of stuck eggs and nearly gave up, but having read advice and reviews on here, I kept working on the seasoning, oiling and storing the pan in the oven, and it is now extremely effective and naturally non-stick. My partner is forbidden to wash it up so I can be sure no washing up liquid ever comes near it.My next purchase is going to be a iron skillet or paella pan to use as a substitute wok.It's also inspired me to dig out old inherited iron baking trays and frying pans and get them seasoned and back into use. All are much better than their modern equivalents.I've since discovered De Buyer pans which can be a good price if you check amazon.fr and amazon.de, and they are much, much better.

Had been searching for one of these for a while and was delighted to find this one in this size. It's perfect for frying up small batches of food (think 2-3 fried onions and a tin of baked beans or the perfect large melting grilled cheese sandwich) and once fully seasoned, is ridiculously easy to clean.If you like cast iron skillets, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've also purchased the larger one (I think 20 or 22cm) for larger jobs like grilling whole chickens, major pancake stacks, etc.Really top quality product and well worth the price in my opinion. This one comes pre-seasoned but I found it didn't hurt to give it another layer of seasoning (basically, coating it with oil and placing in a warm oven before first use).
