Amazon.com Review
The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box. After cooking, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately.

Breakfast in particular somehow tastes extra hearty when cooked in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching and sear meat at higher temperatures. A good all-purpose size at 10-1/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, this skillet can fry up eggs, pancakes, steaks, chicken, hamburgers, and can bake desserts and casseroles as well. A helper handle aids in lifting, and the looped primary handle allows hanging. Two side spouts pour off grease or juice. Even though the pan comes pre-seasoned, applying a little vegetable oil before use helps prevent food from sticking. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Best Pan in the Universe!
This is it! My favorite size and brand pan in the universe! The size is great for most dishes you will make for 2-4 people. With cast iron, the only drawback is the weight, so the smaller the better. People sometimes complain about sticking with cast iron, but keep it seasoned and this will not be a problem. I can make an omelet on mine!

Great Skillet With the Required Care
I own the best hard-anodized aluminum pans - Anolon Allure. But this skillet is for high temperature browning without worry. The non-stick coatings, if turned up too high will emit toxic fumes, especially to birds. Cast iron does not.
Cooking a steak in a nonstick pan you need to let it soak in water for 10 minutes and then use a non-metal potscrubber brush.

Cooking a steak in a nonstick pan you need to let it soak in water for 10 minutes and then use a metal potscrubber brush, then wipe it with a paper towel and place it on a burner for 30 seconds to let any water evaporate. Then very lightly coat it with oil.
Also it best for the heat source to be under ALL the surface area of the bottom of the pan. Using an infrared temperature sensor I measured 500 degrees in the center and 300 where the burner was not directly underneath. Again, its important to match the burner diameter to the pans diameter.
If you understand these concepts then you will be serving both tasty and healthy food. Go right ahead and use metal cooking utensils too.

Lastly, for stovetop use, I love my skillet but not the cast iron lids as i don't want to draw away heat from the cooking area. Instead I use a metal outlined glass lid which took a bit of an effort to match the oddball 10 1/4" size.
