Lodge 10.25 " Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

I named this skillet Big Bertha, because she is strong, steady, and always comes through. This Lodge 10.25” cast iron pan has quickly become one of my most reliable pieces in the kitchen. It's heavy-duty, holds heat like a champ, and gives me that beautiful sear I can't get from thinner pans. What I love: • Reliable heat great sear: Once it heats up, it stays hot. Perfect for browning meat, skillet meals, and anything you want crispy edges on. • Pre-seasoned and ready to go: I washed, dried, and lightly oiled it before first use, and it performed well right away. • Versatile: Stove-top to oven without a problem—great when you want to sear first and finish cooking in the oven. • Better with use: The more I cook with it, the easier it gets to clean and the smoother the surface feels. Good to know: • It's heavy, so I use two hands when moving it, especially when it's hot. • Like any cast iron, it does best with simple care: don't soak it, dry it immediately, and rub a tiny bit of oil after cleaning. Overall, this skillet is the definition of a kitchen workhorse. If you want a pan that's dependable, cooks evenly, and will last a long time, Big Bertha is worth it.

Lodge is the best! This is the perfect size pan to fry bacon and eggs or steak in, or to bake a quiche, a peach cobbler or a pan of cornbread. and it's sooo pretty, too! I'm definitely going to cook with this pan, but I'm also going to hang it up on my wall for show. It's so pretty. I love cooking, and I love Dolly, and I love Lodge! I'm very happy with my purchase.
