Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet (12-in.) by Lodge

The skillet cooks evenly, and it doesn't stick after the first use. We are quite happy with it.

I found it a little difficult to clean, despite the pre-greased condition, and it is heavy--I know that is part of its being cast iron, but it seems heavy for its size.

This is a great bargain for such a large skillet! It heats very quickly compared to traditional nonstick pans. The pan is hefty, so I'd use two hands with potholders to move it around. I've had great success frying and searing meats with this pan and have not had a problem with food sticking. Furthermore, cleanup is a breeze if u wash right afterwards: a stiff brush and water picks everything up while the pan is hot. There is a suggested maintenance step that you lightly oil the entire pan after drying. This is the only downside to this pan, and it's only a minor annoyance that takes 1 minute. Supposedly, cast iron should last forever if maintained properly. I look forward to finding out!

It's perfect and well priced. Love it!

My only gripe about this product is the pricing. You can find this same product at Wal-Mart for much cheaper than it is being sold here.
