Lodge Seasoned Carbon Steel Skillet 15 inch

The pan is nice and heavy, and the food does not stick to it when the pan is pre-heated. I would love it if not for the way it warps. You can see in the attached photo that it pretty much gets a wok shape, which is an issue if you are using an induction cooktop.

15"skillet, beveled edge, large handles

The size and the beveled edge are exactly what I was looking to acquire. I don't own new cast iron and after searching online I couldn't find an 'experienced' CI pan to suit my fancy. This is a Lodge, I have heard good things and am in process of seasoning the pan now. The bottom has remained flat, with no warpage nor ballooning. The big handles fit a real man's size hands and it is very versatile. So far, (3 weeks in) I would say"If you too need a good-sized easy to cook skillet: this one works well".

Bottom wasn't flat.......

Liked the size and the rivetless design. Returned mine because it was warped and wouldn't work well on induction surface. Would have been fine for a gas top or fire. This seems to be an issue with the Lodge carbon steel. Have had to return a couple of them because of this. Expect better from a made in USA product.

Exceptional quality, value and versatility!

This is an excellent pan! Anyone with bad feedback on this doesn't understand how to cook on carbon steel.This is quite heavy! This conducts heat beautifully!I have a pan for everything! This is a welcomed addition! You can use this in your oven also! The shape allows you to use it for making a pizza as well.Don't pay attention to the naysayers that aren't good Cooks to begin with.This is a fantastic buy and one of the thickest available online! Better get one before they are all gone!PS my photo shows it when I doused it with oil.

Great pan that will last forever!

I love this pan. We got it for campfire cooking when we go car camping and it's great. Cooked eggs, pancakes and hash browns over the campfire with no sticking or issues. I spent time seasoning it and I think that helped. It's a great pan and I plan on using it for regular cooking too.

Great pan!

I've always liked Lodge cast iron, and their carbon steel pans are oustanding as well. They are a bit different from cast iron in the way they cook, though, so don't expect that they are just a lighter form of cast iron. My one observation is that I would like a bit more breadth on the bottom of the pan. The 10" carbon steel pan has about the same diameter at the bottom as an 8" cast iron. However, if you know that, you can easily adjust your purchases one size up.

Large cooking surface

I bought this large skillet to cook on an inductionStove. The large surface is great for baconAnd meat. Works very well and is much lighterThan cast iron.

Lodge = Legacy

Lodge produces extremely well made carbon steel skillets among other items. This particular skillet is no exception. It hold heat tremendously well and will last a lifetime or two if cared for. As I think about the items I'll pass along to my children, I know this will be one of the most cherished. I enjoy cooking with something so well made it brings a smile as one uses it. I won't let anyone else clean it or re-season. It is my little baby and I keep it in showroom shape. I use it for Paella but see other uses on the grill, perhaps for vegetables or finishing steaks. In short a great addition to the kitchen!

Love These Lodge Carbon Steel Skillets

This is the big daddy of Lodges Carbon Steel Skillets and a great buy for this price.I went with Lodge over the Euro pans because they are 30 or 40 percent cheaper and come nicely pre-seasoned. Before I cooked with this pan I did a one hour season in the oven.Then I threw in some hash browns, sausage and toast and cooked it up. Worked great, with nothing sticking. Cleaned up easy as well.These pans will out live you, so unless you want to spend twice the money and melt off a bunch of beeswax before you can start to season the pan. I would recommend you look at the Lodge line of skillets. I prefer Carbon Steel to cast iron because they are lighter and heat faster.These pans are made like a tank and cook the best tasting food I’ve had in years.So far I’ve had to ... MoreThis is the big daddy of Lodges Carbon Steel Skillets and a great buy for this price.I went with Lodge over the Euro pans because they are 30 or 40 percent cheaper and come nicely pre-seasoned.

Well made Skillet, Great Price

I bought this because I had just taken a paella making class. I saw this and the price and it was a no brainer. Lodge has always made quality products, you really can't go wrong. This same skillet sells for $25 more and the specialty cookware stores.I wanted something durable; the non-Lodge pans seemed flimsy. This is a pan I can use to make paella on the grill.
