LodgeCRS12 30.48 cm / 12 inch Pre-Seasoned Steel Round Skillet / Frying Pan

I had read quite a few reviews, majority pretty good. Had been looking for a very large pan for a very long time,and too be honest was a bit nervous that I'd blown a load of money on a pan that wouldn't live up to the expectations that I hadWell I can assure you that despite some of the negative reviews this pan is the real deal, I can only assume some people don't use themproperly, seriously get the pan hot enough to slightly smoke turn down and nothing sticks, really impressed washed with hot water as stated with cleaned it a treat and then oiled (I used rice bran oil as can take very high temperatures also seasoned a few times just to get it going!)Use it as stated and you will love this pan!!!Ps.. I used on gas hob and as other reviewers stated you will need to turn down heat as it gets seriously hot, so careful not to burn them ribeye's!!

Love cooking meat and burgers on this, absolutely perfect browning and crust. I’m sure this will outlast me and I love the fact I can put it on the stove top, bbq or camp fire.

The media could not be loaded. So disappointed with this product. I bought this as I have the cast iron skillet and that works fine. Firstly this arrived damaged per photo. Secondly, as soon as I heated up the pan to medium heat only it completely warped. It was never completely level with the cooking surface (slight wobble). When it cools down the warping reduces. All in… for a £50 pan this is unacceptably poor quality

Doesn't sit flat by at least 2mm, which is annoying. Now I'm going to have to find someone to hammer it flat. Hard to test the cooking capability when over half the pan isn't in contact with the induction cooktop. However I did find that eggs which seemed to be sticking actually allowed themselves to be scraped under and flipped without breaking the yolks, which I can *never* get to happen in my eco-nonstick pan. Did a potato veg hash once and fried eggs twice. All three times got the pan hot first, then added the fat, allowed the fat to get hot, then added the food. All three times food stuck. After the pan cooled a bit I added hot water and I'll be danged if the food didn't release with a one easy pass of the spatula. Literally amazed. (I have previously cooked quite a bit in cast iron and won't let eggs near that pan.)I will also add that it is quite a bit heavier than expected (and I had read and watched a lot of reviews). I find it really difficult to one-hand it when pouring out the contents, which is of course necessary because I need the other hand for helping with the spatula. Amz says Lodge skillet weight is 3.41lbs. Amz says the Matfer Bourgeat is 4lbs11oz AND ALSO SAYS 1.9lbs someplace else. Will have to research further.

I bought this as a gift for my son and he absolutely loves it!It gets used everyday for a variety of dishes.I would recommend this product.

These pans are brilliant. So long as you look after them, follow the washing instructions and season them they will perform superbly. Much much better than any non stick pan.

Spot on camping pan, becomes quite non stick with a bit of use!

Bought this as my friend had one and liked it.First use the bottom bowed out so its no longer flat, would probably be fine for a gas range but can't use it with electric/glass/induction.Also one of the hardest pans to season, the factory season it pretty garbage for most cooking and re-seasoning it is very hard compared to most cast-iron/carbon steel.
