Lodge Cast Iron 5-Piece Set, PFAS-Free Pre-Seasoned Kitchen Set

I was slightly intimidated when I first got these pans, I have heard stories about cast iron pans being difficult to "figure out" but I am so glad I got these! They cook food so much more even than my stainless steel pans, they also seem to hold heat better, so when I turn off the heat, the food continues to cook. I have heard you can clean them with soap, but the cleaning instructions included say that soap is fine, I've heard they used to put lye in most soap, and that would eat away at the seasoning on the skillet or something like that? They don't put lye in most soap anymore, so I've been told not to worry about cleaning them with soap, and the cleaning instructions included confirmed this for me, so I have been cleaning them with warm soap and water for a couple of weeks now, and it is so much better than my other pans! The flat one makes it super easy to make pancakes, crepes, and my favorite, quesadillas! The biggest pan is now the biggest that I own, and so far I have made meat pasta sauce in it a couple of times, its large size makes it very easy to cook everything in one pan without worrying about overflowing and spilling food all over the oven. The small pan is great for when I am making something small just for myself- I've made myself eggs in it, and while I haven't perfected my sunny side up technique just yet, I have enjoyed trying different things. The stainless steel pans require you to heat the pan first and then add oil and let that heat up before adding the food, but the cast iron pan seems to work differently. It seems to heat up a little more slowly overall, but the heat is spread out more even and so it seems like it is just better at evenly cooking the food, it is really good for cooking meat I think. I made chicken thighs, and after searing them, I took the skillet and put the whole thing in the oven to let it finish cooking without burning the outside. It came out amazing! I was not much of a cast iron fan before, but with them being easier to clean than I thought, and easier to use than the stainless steel pans I have, I think I am cast irons number one fan now! This set is great! And I know Lodge is a good brand for cast iron as well.

I wanted a basic cast iron set that would work for both regular kitchen meals and outdoor cooking, and this has been a very useful group of pans to have. The different sizes cover most of what I need: the smaller skillet is great for eggs or a quick breakfast, the larger skillet is perfect for chicken, vegetables, or cornbread, and the round griddle works nicely for pancakes, tortillas, and grilled sandwiches. These pans heat up evenly and hold their heat very well. Once they are hot, they give food a good sear and continue cooking steadily without needing to constantly adjust the burner. I have used them on the stovetop and in the oven, and they are sturdy enough that I would feel comfortable taking them along for camping or cooking on a grill. They do require the usual cast iron care, so I hand wash them, dry them right away, and apply a light coat of oil afterward. That small amount of maintenance is worth it because the surface improves with use and becomes easier to cook on over time. They are heavy, as cast iron should be, but they feel solid and built to last for years. Overall, this is a versatile and dependable cast iron cookware set for anyone who enjoys cooking at home, grilling, or camping. The variety of pan sizes, strong heat retention, and durable construction make it a worthwhile addition to the kitchen.

I LOVE these!! Wife bought them after throwing our nonstick pans. They cook soooo nice on the stove. Wish I had a gas stove, and these would be 💯. Quit using non stick, it's not good for you. Buy these.

Lodge as a brand has been around for over a century and is the first name that many people think of when they think of cast-iron cookware. This set comes pre-seasoned and includes three pans that should suit most of your needs. The seasoning is even on my set and the texture is rough enough to hold onto the seasoning and smooth enough to still cook evenly. The handles are a good size to grip and the griddle in particular has a handle that curves up to create some vertical space between your hand and the burner - great for safety. It also includes instructions that tell you exactly how to care for your cast iron - how to prevent rust but also how to remove it if you do allow rust to happen. It even dispels the long-standing myth that you aren't supposed to wash cast iron with soap - you can and the instructions make that clear. It's not often that the manual is a standout component to a product, but it's a piece often missing from big box store brands and for cast iron it's actually important as care is not trivial. Having a griddle, a large pan, and a smaller pan is a great and versatile selection and this would be a fantastic moving-out gift for a kid who is stepping out on their own for the first time. The only way this set would be better is if the 13.25 inch skillet were a 10.25 inch instead as that's the most common size and the one most inline with your typical stove burner. Still, the 13.25 is by no means excessive, and by leaving out the common 10.25 size pan means that this can be purchased by someone who already owns one starter pan without creating redundancy. These are sturdy and heavy (as they should be) and with proper care, should last a long time. Cast iron is so versatile, working on the stove, oven, grill, campfire, etc, and these are a really well-conceived set that includes a variety of pans that are all useful with little redundancy. At the listed price, these are a good value considering all that you get in the box.

Every cook's first purchase should be this set of Lodge cookware. A person could probably literally cook all their meals for an entire lifetime with just this set. An of course it will last for generations. The set comes packaged in a very sturdy and reliable box. The 3 pieces are well packaged, and I cannot imagine how damage could occur during shipping. The 3 pieces are a perfect set. 1) The small skillet for eggs, small amounts of vegetables, and sauces. 2) The flat griddle is awesome for grilled sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, omelets, crepes, and--my favorite use--oven baked pizza. 3) The large skillet works for everything else. I use it for burgers, browning ground beef, cooking steaks, grilled chicken, etc. But I also use it for deep frying, making soup, or even roasting an entire chicken in the oven. If you know cast iron, you know there are trade-offs, with the only real negatives being the weight an it is a little slow to heat up. On the positive side cast iron has amazing heat retention, incredible searing ability, relatively non-stick, and (in my opinion) the only material I dare cook in for health reasons. And you can even use this set for outdoor cooking! It is just amazing that with all the other options in cookware, this inexpensive set produces superior results and lasts a lifetime.

Very heavy in weight, but nice in size. The handle of the pans gets hot, due to the handle and entire pot being cast iron. Be sure you always use a pot holder before you touch the handle, so you don’t get burnt. It’s easy to clean. I did have to buy cast iron soap, scrub, and oil to keep the cast iron pans seasoned. I did not know at the time that it needed to be regularly seasoned. It’s very well made. Love it so far!

Muito bom, a qualidade que é referencia de marca

La calidad es genial y por supuesto, valen la inversión. Un sartén de hierro fundido puede durar GENERACIONES si se cuida y utiliza adecuadamente. Requieren mantenimiento inmediato después de cocinar: 1.- Lavar muy bien con agua y jabón para retirar los restos. 2.- Secar completamente. (Yo lo pongo a fuego bajo recién lavado durante unos 10-15 minutos para que se evapore toda la humedad existente.) 3.- Estando tibia y seca, aplicar suavemente una muy delgada capa de aceite de cocina con una servilleta hasta cubrir todas las superficies y guardar en un sitio colgante de preferencia. Tienes que realizar ése proceso después de cada cocinada, o de lo contrario se te va a oxidar porque no es un material inoxidable. En cuanto al producto, lo recomiendo totalmente. (Si te gusta la cocina y estás dispuesto a darle su debido mantenimiento, de lo contrario, búscate otra opción que se adapte más a tí.)

Gusseisen welches vom hersteller aus bereits eingebrannt ist in bester Qualität und nicht zu teuer!

I bought this set a couple of weeks ago and I am throwing it in the garbage can. The whole thing is rusty and the black paint is coming off . The food I was trying to cook was stained from the paint. I’m afraid for my health.

ماشاءالله جودة ممتازة جدا ؛ ولكن فاجأني الوزن ؛ ثقيلة جدا ولكن روعة الطقم من كل النواحي ويستحق الشراء
