Question: What is the exact length of the skillet from tip of assist handle to the tip of the pan handle? Need to know if it will fit inside my convection oven.
Document: I've been cooking with cast iron for over 3 decades and now have more than 30 pieces. I ordered this skillet because of the sloped sides, but have come to love the shape of the handle as well. Add in the assist handle and this is an incredible pan. At 8 pounds, it is heavy, but that weight helps it heat evenly. I rarely prepare omlets, but fried eggs with cheese and salsa work well in this pan as does reheating food in the oven.
The 10 1/4 inch standard skillet lid does not fit this pan. I wish they would have made this pan 10 1/4 inches so it would be compatible with the lids from other Lodge cooking vessels such as the 5 quart Dutch oven. Nevertheless it is a very good pan. It is the right size for cooking for just yourself or making omelette's. The newly designed handle is more compatible with the handle sleeves sold by Lodge.
I have had good luck with Lodge skillets so I bought this for omelets. I got tired of expensive nonstick pans wearing out.Of course the pan has to be &#34;broken in&#34; so you'll need to use more oil for a while to keep the egg from sticking.My only complaint is that the handle and helper handle are not the same as on their skillets, so the silicone handle holders don't quite fit.
I just got  this skillet today & used it right away. I have arthritis  in my hands  & had no problem with it's weight bcs the handle fits comfortably  & balances the pan. I did use the assist handle. I set the hot pan on a trivet on my counter ... Little suspecting how cast iron holds heat. It melted the trivet into a puddle stuck to the bottom of the pan. Words fail me.
Needed an omelette pan and did not want non-stick for potential harmful side effects. Shape of this pan works great, cleaning instructions from Lodge, boiling water in hot pan, with stiff brush cleans in a breeze, even with stuck on egg. Pan looks great, good size, ergonomic handle, love this pan, don't know how I managed without it.
I have a few Lodge Pro-Logic pans and they are all great. This one is especially useful. I like the size, weight and sloped sides. I splurged and bought Lodge's nifty pot-holder which fits over the handle. It makes the pan easier to use. I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I did season the pan before I used it by coating it lightly with canola oil and heating it in a 350 oven for an hour, leaving it to cool in the oven overnight.
I have nothing but Lodge Logic cast iron, and I do omelettes regularly. So I bought this skillet for it's rounded shape.Pro:- It heats well and the surface will release food.- Rounded edges are good for omelettes and other foods that need to slide off of the pan.- Sturdy construction.Con:- In order to round out the edges, they had to make this skillet very heavy. It is heavier than my 12 inch conventional design cast iron skillet.
I bought this pan to make German pancakes in which require cooking on both the stovetop and in the oven. This skillet is nice and deep to cook them in. It is a great pan for frittata and omelets as well. I do cover the handles with some foil so I will be able to lift it out of oven better since my hot pads never seem to be thick enough.
I purchased this skillet with the specific intention of making frittatas, since I had no skillets which would transfer from stovetop to oven. This is an extremely well-made pan which I anticipate using for many years, and passing down to my children. The fact that it is pre-seasoned is great, but be sure to read the care instructions: add water while the pan is still warm, and never use soap. This is an old-school product that works beautifully.
So thankful i selected this for the assist handle, it's heavy~! in fact, bought 2...i like the medium size, ideal for 1 or 2 person cooking. With limited kitchen space, it's a challenge to find a storage place for my 3 new cast iron pots.I did follow the long prep for non-stick advised by others, as I wasn't impressed with factory prep. it's been worth the extra effort.
