Product Description
The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require "seasoning." To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother's ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom panyou will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn't stick to this surface. This small skillet is excellent for making biscuits, cornbread, eggs, and omelets.
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. On the small side at eight inches in diameter, this skillet cooks up a couple eggs or hamburgers, or a steak for one. The looped handle allows hanging, and the 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

 Just what I wanted September 7, 2010
E. Parker (California)
I have owned a Lodge Logic 12 inch pan for years but it is so cumbersome when you just want to cook something small. This little guy is great for cooking a 2 or 3 egg omelet. I can't imagine having use for something smaller, but 8 inches does the trick. It is moderately fast to heat up and cooks just like you expect cast iron to.
A word of warning, the pan may be pre-seasoned, but that does not mean it is ready to cook eggs or other sticky food. Start off by cooking some bacon or other fatty meat. After a few runs like that, oil it up and hope for the best. In a month's time, if you treat it right, it will have the nice base seasoning that gives cast iron its awesome nonstick properties.
 It will rust August 25, 2010

If rust forms on the skillet, it will be toxic, and it will give one brain damage. That is a fact. Now, we know that Lodge Logic has its employees post comments and acting as customers saying that rust is good for you and so forth. This is the same technique Toyota uses to have its people write on automotive blogs saying that Toyota cars are safe and no one has ever died in one due to defects. There have been serious cases of illness from using these pans. What is amazing is that some folks actually writethat rust is good for you and that eating bits of iron is also good for you. They tend to be in the South. Way South......
 Not as seasoned as it needs to be for eggs August 10, 2010

I got this because I need more iron, and I eat a lot of eggs. I found the surface too rough to cook eggs and get them out of the pan. You would have to float them on butter or oil to get them out of this pan. Back to my non stick pan...
I would take it camping, if I ever went camping.
My eggs are finally nice and fluffy! June 13, 2010
M. Haniffa
I have missed eating nice fluffy soft eggs. Enter the LL Cast Iron Skillet (BANG!) eggs are soft, no messes, a little bit of butter a couple of shakes of the skillet and viola! eggs ready for consumption. I am going to get myself a bigger skillet in the near future for seafood recipes. Super value..bara bing bara boom! As always, mail and packaging from Amazon was top notch.
 Great Skillet But Has A Slight Drawback June 11, 2010
El Lippo The Trumpet Man (Walpole, MA USA)
I really like this 8" skillet. It's perfect to cook a burger or other small food items. However, I was disappointed that my Lodge (rectangular) bacon press doesn't fit. No big deal though, since the press will fit very well in the 10.5" Lodge skillet that I have on order. Since I fondly remember the old days when I went to the lunch counter at my local Woolworth's store and got the (IMHO) best pressed grilled cheese and bacon sandwich in the world, the bacon press is a 'must have' for me. I got turned on to cast iron cooking after watching an episode on the Food Network that featured the Lodge Company. It didn't take long for me to get really 'gung ho' about cast iron cooking that I went so far to buy an induction burner. For the 100 bucks that I paid for it, it was a good investment since I have a glass top stove. While if you're very careful by lifting the skillet (no matter what size) and not dragging it on the surface or taking the chance of dropping it, it's OK to use cast iron. But being the cautious person I normally am, I like having the burner rather than risking costly repairs or worse - replacing the stove.
