  • A great skillet!
Size: 15"
It's not lightweight but it's not as heavy as I thought it would be. Even though it came pre-seasoned, I added a couple more layers before using. It's just great! I've done eggs, bacon, pancakes, fried chicken and fried fish so far and nothing sticks. I wanted a pan this wide primarily for frying whole fish and at approx. 14" diameter, it's the perfect size for me. Be sure to heat it thoroughly to avoid hot spots. The interior surface is rough but that does not affect how great it cooks. The embossing on the bottom doesn't bother me when cooking on a gas stove or wok hob but I can see how it would be of some concern on an induction range. You could take a grinder to it and remove all the raised elements to get the bottom smooth. Don't forget to re-season the pan if you do. This has been a major addition to my arsenal and so far, I've enjoyed cooking with this pan. ... show more

  • Good pan. Added some tips for people new to cast iron
Size: 15"
Writing this review because I saw some reviews from people who just dont know what they're doing with cast iron. This is an ok pan. Are there better cast iron pans out there? Yes. Are they *that* much better to justify being 2x the price? No. This thing is very textured. Which is on purpose. Companies do this to lower the amount of time it takes to season the pan in factory, thus lowering energy and time consumed doing so. Higher priced pans aren't as textured and they take longer to manufacture hence the price. As this pan gets broken in the texture will smooth out. I bought this one "used-good" from Amazon warehouse deals. Honestly it was brand new in a damaged box. Can't go wrong with a 15" cast iron pan for $17. Even though this pan arrives "pre-seasoned" I would still recommend putting another coat of seasoning on it. You can do so by coating the whole pan in a thin (not dripping wet" coat of oil. Place it in the oven at 350° for 1-1.5 hours. Let it cool completely and once removed from oven and it's ready for use. *Be sure to put some aluminum foil on the rack below the pan to catch any possible oil drips. I have some close friends who are ex-Amish and my friend's mother has cast iron pans that are 100+ years old. I use her advice for cleaning any of my pans and they have never needed reseasoned. When you're done using the pan clean it with cold water, and no soap. When the food is visibly gone it's clean. Dry it with a paper towel or put it in a hot burner to dry off all the water. Then add a thin coat of oil to the surface. Done. NEVER USE SOAP. NEVER WASH IN DISHWASHER. Doing either of those things will just wash the seasoning right off the pan. Then you will always have issues with food sticking to the pan. The people complaining of rust in other reviews never dried and oiled the pan. This is crucial for proper cast iron maintenance. Onto the pan itself the one feature I don't like is the foot on the bottom. It stands off from stovetop some and since I have a smooth glass cook top the transfer of heat isn't perfect. I prefer non footed pans. Since I'm primarily using this pan for pan pizzas in the over this is really a non issue for me but it is worth pointing out for others. Also, this pan is HUGE. I'm a grown man and it take both hands to lift this thing safely. **Further notes: * Instructions state that the pan is good for up to 400°. This is because the pan will start burning off it's seasoning after that temp. It all fairness it's probably good for up to 500° but I would recommend letting it get that hot. * Never put cold water in a hot pan. Let it cool before cleaning. Cold water in a hot pan can crack the pan. Cast iron is actually quite brittle and susceptable to shock. * People complaining about rusting: it's cast IRON. Iron rusts if not maintained properly. Nothing wrong with the pan, the pan just isn't being maintained properly. ... show more

  • This thing is huge and fantastic
Size: 15"
Zero problems as long as it fits on your oven. If you are looking for a large durable skillet this will not disappoint. The contact surface is raised so you get great distribution of heat. With a glass top this pan is unbeatable

  • Heavy duty, huge skillet
Size: 15"
seasoned myself after grinding skillet interior. Great for cooking cajun dishes for a large crowd. Storage requires a lot of cabinet space.

  • This is huge
Size: 15"
I have been wanting to get a cast iron skillet for a long time so I purchased this one and I was surprised by what I received. This IS a 15" skillet and what I got was much larger than I thought, I mean this thing is HUGE. I know that I will appreciate it when I am trying to cook multiple steaks or something similar but if you're cooking for one, look for a smaller one. I broke it in last night and I can definitively say that the steaks came out perfect. One other thing, since it is a larger pan, it carries much weight with it. This is a great product but just make sure that you need something this large for your cooking needs. ... show more

  • Very Happy
I'm not an expert but been cooking in Iron a number of years (all kinds and brands handed down from parents and grandparents). CONS: 1) Poor seasoning, 2) Rough finish. 1)While moving the skillets around I noticed the seasoning rubs off very easily on the bottom. But, if you season your iron as you should the problem is fixed. 2) Rough finish but nearly all brands now have a rough finish. So would have the issue no matter what brand (unless high dollar skillets). And that's about the end of cons. PROS: Price and does what it is designed to do well. Overview: (If your new to Cast Iron you should watch some Utube videos an how to season and care for cast iron. I see reviews about rust - Iron will rust - the brand doesn't matter. So please research how to care for cast iron.) I do not use any brand's new cast iron straight out of the box. I do grind/sand (to 220 grit) the inside down to smooth the surface and apply seasoning ( I personally use flax seed for the first 4-6 oven seasoning @ 450-500F, after seasoning I cook bacon till I cant eat any more). My test of a new skillet is Yeast Rolls, to see how the heat transfers up the side. My rolls browned the same on the sides as the bottom so I'm very satisfied with the heat being uniformed once up to temp in the oven. The skillets feels a little thinner then Lodge but my experience is no deference in functionality/heat transfer. So might be a positive in being lighter. My only hesitation at all is I doubt there are made the USA. But as far as functionality, I believe re-seasoning is a must and I personally prefer to grind/sand smooth and feel they preform as well as any other brand I own. ... show more
