Cast Iron Skillet, 12 inch by Lodge
The Buy Me Once Verdict
The big brother of the 10.25 inch classic. Same Tennessee foundry, same single piece of iron, a bit more room for a family-sized fry-up or a whole chicken. This version comes with a silicone handle holder, which you will be glad of the first time the handle gets as hot as the pan.
Why this should last
Cast iron has no moving parts and no coating. Nothing can peel, warp at normal temperatures or work loose. Neglect it and it rusts; scrub it, re-season it and it is back. That is the whole secret of why these pans turn up at estate sales still working after seventy years.
Is it the right one for you?
12 inches suits a household of three or more, or anyone who cooks in batches. It is heavy, around eight pounds, so if your wrists complain the 10.25 inch is the easier daily driver.
The guarantee
Lodge's Made Right limited lifetime warranty on seasoned cast iron: if it doesn't meet their standards or yours, they make it right.
