First impression cooking with this pan… Not good.
I had high hopes for this product especially being an owner of several Lodge cast iron products. Received the carbon steel skillet tonight and attempted the egg test. The pan appeared to be seasoned well per factory seasoning process like the other cast iron items I’ve received (no chips or dings). I added a generous amount of olive oil and let it heat a while on medium (gas burner). Cracked the egg and dropped it in and it stuck to the pan almost immediately. I’ve uploaded some photos of the egg’s journey…# Pros- Lighter than cast iron- Rugged, and will be used on a campfire and grill- Should last a lifetime- Long handle# Cons- Nothing like the cast iron which passes the egg tests on first use- Price, more expensive than the cast iron but performed the worst on initial cookI will be scrubbing down the pan and re-seasoning it myself since other reviews mentioned the same problem I faced. The cast iron items get better with use so I’m hoping the same thing. First impression cooking with is pan was horrible. Hopefully I can update this review and increase the stars since I’m a huge fan of Lodge.# Update 2017-03-22I’ve had to bump it up from 3 to 4 stars. Second time using the pan, the egg did not stick! I had scrubbed it down with a chainmail scrubber and re-seasoned the pan on the stove top and not the oven. I added a light coat of vegetable oil to the entire pan after washing it. Then placed it on the stove top with high heat setting until it started smoking. I reduced the heat to medium and allowed it to cook in some more. I wiped down the pan after it cooled down. Then I heated it up again, added a little olive oil and cooked an egg that didn’t stick. I’ve uploaded more photos of the 2nd time cooking an egg with this pan. I’m a very happy customer and will update this review as I use this pan more.# Update 2017-03-26I’ve had to bump it up from 4 to 5 stars. This carbon steel pan has become my favorite frying pan in the kitchen! My first impression cooking with this item was poor due to the factory seasoning. After using it several times and washing it properly, it’s non-stick and works amazing. It’s now my go-to egg pan. The factory seasoning seems to only help with actual continued seasoning. I’m pretty sure the factory seasoning is there just to keep it from rusting and it provides the new black finish look without the toxic metals/chemicals and paint that most non-stick frying pans come with. I haven’t ran into issues that other people have reported with the warping issue. I use a gas range and heat the pan up on high with the biggest burner and experienced no warping. I noticed my pan has started to build up a nice patina with only several uses. For those who are experienced with carbon steel know what a good patina does and how it helps to prevent rusting. I’m very happy with this purchase and will be ordering the 12 inch pan soon. Next and final test will be using it at the campfire!

Love the pan!
I’ve been using it for a week or so- I looked at reviews and complaints, and was careful to season it. I wiped it with oil and heated it til the smoking pretty much stopped and let cool, 3-4 times. I use a little oil when cooking anything but I did that with nonstick pans already so nothing different. I was skeptical but whaddya know, the eggs didn’t stick! Potatoes didn’t stick either-the biggest difference I see from past pans- I’ve used nonstock, ceramic, cast iron and stainless steel- is that the pan heats up quickly, I don’t need to use as much heat to get it hot either. It cooks faster, sears better, and cleans up like cast iron. It’s not as heavy as the cast iron but heavier than steel. People who show pix of a lot of ugly gunk in it didn’t season it or use it correctly. One note, I was annoyed there were chips on the edge when I got it and decided to ignore them. But as I used the pan, the seasoning covered up the chips again and they’re gone!Bottom line is, if you aren’t the type to take care of pans or take time to season it now and then, go with non stick easy peasy. If you don’t want to cook with chemical coatings, but want a nonstick surface your stainless can’t give you without the weight of cast iron, this is your pan!I paid a lot more for my Made In pan that lasted a few years, thus will last a lifetime- and get the silicone handle cover, you definitely need it.

Not as pictured
The pan I received has very shallow sides. About 1â high. So food tends to fall out while stirring. But, itâs a great pan. Handles extreme temps, hi burner, broiler, etc I wash it with a brush and warm water. No soap. I donât have to manually season it anymore. Just wish it was a little deeper.

If you like cast iron but want something lighter– try this one
This pan is heavier than most nonstick frying pans, but noticeably lighter than cast iron. It says it’s seasoned, but I sanded it a bit when it arrived because I wanted it smoother, and then of course I needed to season it since after sanding I saw clean bright steel. I seasoned the pan by baking it in a hot oven for a few minutes with a very thin coating of oil, three or four times. You will also need to use oil or butter when cooking if you don’t want food to stick. But you can scramble eggs in it with no problem if it’s well seasoned! It warms up quicker than our cast iron or nonstick pans, and gets hotter than any nonstick pan I have ever used with our stove at the same setting, so you need to “learn” the pan a bit if you are new to this type of pan, to avoid having things stick. In that respect it’s very much like cast iron–it’s just lighter. I have always liked cast iron pans– I have one that is about a hundred years old and it still works perfectly– but I am getting older and cast iron feels kind of heavy now. This pan (I have the ten inch one) is very manageable for me. There are times when I want a nonstick pan, and we have one, but most of the time I am using this steel one now. It cooks very well, it won’t break the bank, it will probably last a hundred years, and you won’t be feeding your family any teflon when you use this one.

I have more expensive deBuyer pans that are thicker and smooth. I got lodge to try something different and I love it from day one. It heats up much faster than french pans and it comes pre-seasoned. I didn’t season the pan just start using it. I can see factory coating is disappearing and pan is more brown, not black but nothing sticks to it, even egg yes I tried an egg and it didn’t stick. It doesn’t slide like on smooth pans but didn’t stick. It’s an amazing pan for pancakes. When it heats up its not flat but it’s not that bad, works well on my induction cooktop. 10 inch is little small to cook for a big family but perfect to prep vegetables for like omlet or something else. I’m waiting for 12″ to go on sale and thinking to get another 10″ for outdoors.

Good product, heavy carbon steel frying pan. Only one remark: seasoning is not perfect the center of the pan seasoning gives away partially at the first usage. I suggest to repeat the seasoning at least once before using the pan.
