Customer Reviews of Lodge Pro-Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 10-Inch Round Grill Pan
Customer Rating:  Summary: Great new modern cast iron design Comment: I really like the new handles on the Pro-Logic line. Works great on the stove and in the oven (preheat to 450F and bake a personal-size pizza, works great). Customer Rating:  Summary: If you like broken pans Comment: The pan arrived broken in pieces. Must be pretty poor worknmanship in casting. Customer Rating: Summary: Deceptively small Comment: I order this, figuring it would be large enough for a couple of steaks, chops, or paninis. Though this is a 10 inch pan, the actual grill area is only big enough for one moderate sized sandwich. Also, the seasoning doesn't seem as good. The 12 inch skillet I bought was well seasoned and deep black (I wish Lodge made a round Pro Logic grill this size). This pan is very ashy, though I am sure it will season up after some use. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Grill Pan Comment: This has become my favorite pan! The key to a good grill pan are the Grooves: they must be Deep in order to work right, preventing the food from sitting in its own grease. This pan has 'em, and they work. The heavy-weight construction does indeed create even heat across the surface. And as long as you give it a quick shot of spray oil (like Pam), there is minimal sticking; and it is the sticking that creates nice seared grill marks! I've used mine for a year, and it looks like it could last for ever... Customer Rating: Summary: Bad Quality Comment: All Lodge cast iron pots and pans are TERRIBLE!!! Even pre-seasoned ones don`t have smooth surface, it`s all rough and uneven and food sticks no matter how hot the pan and oil get. After it sticks you have to clean them thorouhgly and seasoning comes off... then you have to season them all over again - almost each time. Cast iron MUST have smooth surface - and also it doesn`t have to be that heavy to be good. I used to have cast iron pans, and they were so much better - not that heavy and rough... Very bad quality! More Reviews 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. The raised surface of this grill will produce those richly caramelized sear marks so desirable in steaks, chicken breasts and grilled tuna. 
Choosing Appliance -> Range Cookers The way you cook is also key to deciding which type of range cooker to choose. No-frills heat storage ranges such as Agas retain heat they have gradually built up and generally have two ovens without temperature controls - the hot oven is for roasting and baking, the cool one for slow cooking/keeping warm. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. Lodge Pro-Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 10-Inch Round Grill Pan
Useful info -> Grill Grilling is a pervasive tradition in the United States. There are many cook-offs for steak grilling and good 'ole fashion barbecue (mid-western and southern style) around the United States with serious cash prizes involved in most. Almost all competition grillers use charcoal, most often in large, custom designed brick or steel grills. They can range from a few 55 gallon oil drums sawed lengthwise on their sides to make a lid and grill base, to large, vehicle sized grills made of brick, weighing nearly a ton. |
