Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Baker's Skillet, 10.25 Inches

I am converting my lifestyle to get ready for tiny house living in my retirement years. I like cast iron but I don't always like the handles because the handles make it hard to store sometimes as they sort of get in the way yes they're helpful when it comes to lifting pans and stuff but sometimes you just don't want to handle in your way. Well I like these pans because a since it's called a baker's pan it's a little bit lighter weight than the standard skillets that Lodge makes but it's just as tough and Cooks just as fine as the regular Skillets with the handles. I have one of these and a double handled 12-in skillet both of these, workout fantastic as far as storage easy to put away they don't take up a lot of space. They can fit in smaller tabletop size convection ovens and work perfect for handling things to say roasting pans they're good all purpose the double handles work great you get a little bit used to him and you don't miss the regular handle at all once you have acclimated I highly recommend getting one or two of these and pairing down the rest of your cookware these are workhorses and they do the job and they do it well!

I already owned the Lodge 10" double handled skillet with the Cast Iron Lid and it is perfect for all my skillet uses as well as serving as a small brazier with the lid. It will bake, but I always thought it was heavier than needed for baking.I saw this "Baker" advertised and immediately noted the lighter weight. After reading the reviews, I ordered this pan along with the "sized" red rubber handle protectors. I am glad I did.Wow, this thing is a baking machine. I have now done about 25 different cornbread recipes worth of cornbreads and this thing is perfect. It takes a 400 - 425 degree preheat with ease and sizzles that batter as I drop my pour. I have scanned the preheated pan with an IR reader and it is perfect from rim to rim and across the center.The weight difference is Wonderful for getting the hot pan in and out of the oven. I have ZERO sticking issues.Preheat it for a pan of drop biscuits or grease it up for a pan of cut biscuits. No hot spots.I did work on the seasoning a bit before my first bakes but only in that I used a can of crisco shortening and layered on a bit more seasoning.You can't go wrong with this one, especially at the price. Get the rubber handle heat protectors for this pan but clip them on AFTER you pull the pan with your mitts.v/r rch

***UPDATE after 2 years of regular use - July 2025***I continue to love and highly recommend this Lodge 10" dual handle skillet for stovetop use. I use it very regularly since it is the perfect size for my family. Although the surface was pretty smooth when it was brand new, it has become slick and very smooth now after 2 years of use. If frying an egg for example, very little oil (about 1/4 tsp.) and a brush to spread it around is all that is needed. The lightness of this pan compared to the Lodge 10" skillet with 1 handle is definitely a bonus since it makes moving the pan around when full a breeze.***Original review - July 2023***I was looking for a Lodge 10" skillet with 2 small handles like this one instead of the traditional 1 longer handle - which I also have but will be giving to my daughter. So when I found this one, it looked perfect. My only doubt was that it was named a baker's skillet meaning it is meant only for baking. Some reviews also mentioned the lightness of this skillet when compared to the long handled one. After trying it on my stove several times over the past couple of days, I am happy to say that it behaves EXACTLY the same as the long handled version.I highly recommend this baker's skillet for its quality, lightness, dual handles which make it super easy to use and its size for everyday meals.

A cookware of great value and versatility. Browns meat beautifully. Non-stick when greased and heated up sufficiently. Love the dual handles which allow for easier storage. A great addition to my kitchen

I enjoy using the skillet. Great for frying beef bacon and baking cornbread.

I've been slowly replacing an old set of Circulon cookware that I've had since the early 90s. I decided to go with Lodge cast iron for the skillets because, with proper seasoning, they are non-stick and can also be used for acidic foods. However, I found that the Lodge 12" pan I purchased a few years ago is way too heavy to lift with one hand, especially when it's hot and filled with ingredients. The size is also a bit too large when cooking for just two people.Thanks to Black Friday I was able to snag this 10.25" Lodge Cast Iron Baker's Skillet. What a difference 1.75" makes. {wink} It's the perfect size and weight, has two handles so it can easily be transported to the oven or the sink, and I LOVE that it came with a glass lid. As Goldilocks said, it's just right!The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because Lodge claims their pans are pre-seasoned. While they may have seasoned it a little, the pan was in no way ready to fry an egg. Even with a bit of butter fat in the pan my egg was a hot comical disaster! It's probably common sense to people who are more familiar with cast iron, but it didn't even occur to me that it wouldn't be good straight out of the box.Lesson learned: Always do several rounds of seasoning before using a new cast iron pan!

Nice pan! Excellent price.

This pan is so handy I’ve used it for biscuits and it’s perfect. I love to fry eggs in it it’s perfect. And cornbread oh my! It’s perfect! Takes two Jiffy boxes so easy but one box would work too. It’s just the perfect size for me.

The perfect pan for us dedicated fry-up fanatics. The perfect size, the perfect weight, base is flat as glass for a halogen hob, non-stick out of the box and will fit in any British oven for those who want to season the pan before use and/or after cleaning. It'll outlive you and your Grandchildren absolutely indestructible.For most of us chaps, it's the only pan you'll ever need. Teflon coated 'non-stick' pans are a nasty gimmick, chuck 'em all in the bin and get some proper heavy metal in your life.

Went with the "used like new" for a very low price. Item was not used in any way (Lodge sticker was still on the cooking surface). This is my second baker's skillet like this. Great size for the camp stove, and is better not having long handles for this purpose (free up room in the small space, and not have to have the handles hanging over the edge with little ones around while cooking bacon with hot grease). Some cast iron enthusiasts knock Lodge for being lower quality. Go ahead and pay 5x the price for Stargazer, Made-in, etc. then. If you know how to use cast iron, Lodge has everyone beat in the "bang for your buck" category. I use Lodge cast iron at home on my induction stove and at the camp fire, on gas burners and on the open campfire. I also purchased a cast iron lid (not Lodge, but fits perfectly) so I can do campfire pizzas in it (place hot coals on the lid to cook from all directions). Only wish that the camping season was longer.

Sturdy, healthy and easy to maintain, if have used cast iron b4.

Low quality and it will loose its seasoning coat very fast. Then, your food will become black, full of this lodge black. DON'T BUY Lodge online, since it may be not a genuine, maybe another duplicated product.
