Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 10-1/2-Inch Cast-Iron Square Skillet

Love it!, I have tons of Lodge Cast Iron, I'm from Tennessee, where it's made and we have outlets here and I always have to pick up something new. My latest find is this square pan. I think I bought it because I liked the way it looked but after using it, I love it for many more reasons. I never realized how much better food fits into a square pan and my spatula just fits in the corners better in the square than it does the round ones. Lodge comes pre-seasoned now and mine was excellent. The very first things I cooked in it were pancakes and eggs and both came out perfectly just like I was using a Teflon non-stick skillet.
Lodge cast iron skillet, (What's this?)
Just right., (What's this?) Got exactly what I ordered. Got it when it was promised. Good product, good shipping (free, by the way). The only confusing thing is why two pans (10"x10"x3") were shipped in a box that was waaaaaaaaaaay too big for them and included a ridiculous amount of packing material??? Still, completely satisfied.
Pretty Perfect, (What's this?) This is a great cast-iron skillet! We use it for almost everything. It is extremely durable, heavy, and certainly worth the cost! I had to buy two of these as I dropped the first one on our tile floor and it cracked.
The size is perfect for fried eggs, cornbread, etc.
Lodge is the best., (What's this?) This is one skillet I use over and over again. I was a little hesitant about using a square shaped pan as far as cleaning out the corners, but Lodge's products are always pre-seasoned so well this hasn't been an issue at all. The high sides are great for cooking dishes that have sauces. I love it and highly recommend this pan as a great all purpose skillet.
One of the best items Lodge sells., (What's this?) I'm not sure what's going on with Lodge, but the quality of their products has noticeably improved.
I bought a 2 burner griddle from TJMaxx which was thinner and more precisely formed than what they used to put out, yet still had enough mass to grant one all the benefits of cast iron, although I use it in the oven, rather than the stovetop most of the time.

Now this square pan, which I love. Although it's the standard 10 1/2" size, the square shape seems to be more efficient. I can cook two steaks, or two chicken breasts at the same time, which I sear, then finish in the oven, make a great skillet dinner by roasting potatoes, carrots, squash & meat all in one dish and also makes a great cake pan.

Both items were pre-seasoned, but I added another 3 layers of coconut oil.
Great skillet, love the shape.
Best ever, (What's this?) This is without a doubt the best skillet we have ever owned. It is heavy duty cast-iron that came well seasoned. It distributes the heat very well so the food cooks evenly. The only reason I did not rate it as 6 star is because I would have liked it to be a little bigger to accommodate slices of bacon. We do like the square shape and the deep sides. Now make one 12" and I'll order it too.
Still needs seasoning, (What's this?) I like this pan, and use it often, but I still feel like I need to season it after every use, and I still use oil or spray when using it. I don't feel like it has that perfectly seasoned coating to make things just slide off it. I'll keep using it and seasoning it, and hopefully at some point it will be like that, but don't buy it thinking it really is pre-seasoned.
Lodge Skillet, (What's this?) I received this skillet on time and the cost was very reasonable. We immediately tried it with a cornbread recipe in the oven. We were pleased that the skillet performed as we had expected. We have used the skillet on the stove top and have had excellent results.
Great Pan, Terrible Coating, (What's this?) The "seasoned" coating on this product is horrible. The factory coating must have wax or something and to rid the pan of it I followed the instructions to add additional seasoning to the pan. The result was a sticky mess. I decided to stick the pan in the oven using the cleaning cycle, a method I use to clean my commercial grade half sheet pans and it ridded the pan of the sticky problem. I then used a vegatable oil and seasoned the pan using a process similar to the product instructions and all is good.
