I have had it for about 2 months, I use it only for omelets and crepes, and in the center it has started to deteriorate and the food keeps sticking. I note that I have maintained it from the beginning as one should with cast iron cookware.

Okay, there’s no need to say much about a cast iron pan. If you season it well, it becomes non-stick. I saw how to do it on YouTube and I did it.

Excellent Quality!!! Highly recommended

I have faithfully followed the steps to maintain the pan and clean it properly. I put it in the oven 4 times with oil to restore the non-stick coatings. Unfortunately, all this effort and whatever I cook in it sticks incredibly. I use plenty of oil, heat it up enough, and still nothing. Unusable cookware.

No other cast iron cookware measures up to Lodge. Excellent customer service if you ever need it. Just the best.

I bought this pan because I wanted to try cast iron. However, disappointment! Apart from not being as non-stick as I expected, the main issue is that it releases rust when I put it on the gas stove. I will send a request to return it.

As a user without much experience with cast iron cookware, I really liked the pan. I read all the comments on how to maintain and use it, I also read websites and then I understood what’s going on. It cooks with excellent results at low heat, and for cleaning, I use a pointed spatula, scrape if needed, then wipe, heat to evaporate moisture, and coat with oil. If you have the patience and passion, the cookware is worth it a thousand times over, but if you want something quick and practical, don't go for cast iron in general.

If you are looking for a frying pan that will last for years, yes, if you are looking for a lightweight frying pan, this is not it. Personally, nothing sticks for me from the start, I also got two similar ones from the recommended cleaning supplies and I was saved!

Very nice result in cooking!
It just takes a little more time to clean than non-stick pans, but the result is worth it.

Very good frying pan! It needs good seasoning to become non-stick, but still requires a little oil for better results. Very satisfied with my choice!

I have from the same company a grill-type frying pan, the food doesn't stick at all, but unfortunately here it sticks and doesn't clean with anything, what a shame

nothing special.. food sticks very often... difficult to clean when food sticks... heavy utensil... a lot of maintenance.. stay away

It gives everything I have fried another dimension of flavor. It doesn't stick. All other frying pans pale in comparison to the cast iron. Also, if maintained properly, you keep it for a whole lifetime...

Obviously, when you get a cast iron skillet, you know what to expect and how to use it. It does its job well and retains its temperature for a long time.

It needs quite a bit of oil to cook without food sticking. Indeed, its weight is an issue. I wouldn't buy it if I could turn back time

I am amazed by the good reviews. I have done all the procedures, seasoning, etc., at least 5-6 times, yet with the pan, you can't even fry an egg on low heat; everything sticks. Quality is terrible, the surface is like sandpaper, all the food sticks, and it only cleans with intense scrubbing. Stay away from this one, wasted money.

The frying pan is perfect!!!
It just takes a little getting used to its weight and the cleaning it needs after cooking......which takes 3 minutes with a kitchen sponge and hot water, drying, and a little oil at the end.
Eggs don't stick if you add a little oil beforehand.

Excellent cooking on meat and vegetables that has nothing to do with classic non-stick pans. The result is much better in cooking and flavor. It is somewhat heavy in construction but it is customary. It needs the care mentioned in the other comments after each cooking but it has become a routine for me and I prefer it every time compared to my other pans.

What a frying pan this is! Yes, it has a small issue with weight and cleaning/oiling, but the meat it produces is exceptional. Chicken breast comes out juicier, tenderer, and with an even better outer crust than taverns or charcoal.

The frying pan is great. Although it comes pre-seasoned, do yourself and the pan a favor and season it again [instructions (renewing seasoning): https://www.mantemi.gr/blog/odhgies-xrhshs-katharismou-kai-synthrhshs]. It is easily washed with soap and water or coarse salt and water if there are many residues left in the pan. However, it needs to be dried well (with kitchen paper and 5' on medium heat) and coated with oil (everywhere, inside, outside, and on the bottom) after each use. Overall, take care of it and it will take care of you.

The cooking it does is much better compared to conventional pans, due to the higher and uniform temperature it develops on the bottom as well as on the walls. The food becomes much tastier. It took me a few uses to realize that I shouldn't use the heat intensity required by conventional pans, but much less.

It's worth its money. A container for a lifetime, if you exclude the difficulty of the weight.
It heats up in no time! It also heats up food in no time. It doesn't stick. I use it on the gas grill as well. Awesome

Everything is fine except that it is very heavy and also the handle burns while cooking, so until you get used to it, you have burned yourself a couple of times.

I decided to buy this cast iron because we eat grilled food about 90% of the time, so it was a one-way street. I threw away all the non-stick pans that lasted for a maximum of 20 uses. Incredible flavors and many options from meat to pizza. The meat becomes like charcoal. I ended up with a maintenance pattern that becomes more non-stick every time, I think.
- I wash it with hot water and a brush.
- I heat it on the stove again for water evaporation.
- I wipe it with a paper towel with a little olive oil or sunflower oil while it's still hot.
The food cooks at level 5 instead of the level 8 I used to cook on the aluminum non-stick pan.
Happy grilling!

Very good pan, very convenient and excellent for everything I have cooked. I followed exactly what the company says for seasoning and maintenance after use, and it has become incredibly non-stick. Before buying it, I had my doubts about whether it would suit me, but after daily use on a ceramic stove, oven, and gas grill, I highly recommend it without hesitation.

Fantastic product!!! Really! The weight of it might bother you a bit, but it's worth every euro

Pfff

Now I understand what I was missing all this time without having such a pan!!! There is a huge difference in the taste of the food - it gives the feeling that you are grilling on charcoal. I struggled at first because it has a completely different logic in temperature management, meaning it concentrates a large amount of heat, so for medium intensity I have to set it to 4 (out of 9) and for sautéing to 7 (out of 9).

Following the cleaning instructions, I haven't encountered any problems. This pan even fries eggs without sticking!

Well, to not talk too much, the pan is worth 100%. It is a good cast iron pan with everything that entails. If you know how to use it, it will be the only pan you will need for the rest of your life (and the lives of your children and grandchildren, etc). Although the pan is already non-stick when you receive it, you will need to fry with it 3-4 times before you see its full non-stick capabilities.
