Amazing skillet good purchase

This is a outstanding pan, the fish fry and Paella in first attempt came out so well, worth it

Son excelentes como comal grande, para pizzas o para hacer desayuno todo en un sartén.

I had read quite a few reviews, majority pretty good. Had been looking for a very large pan for a very long time,and too be honest was a bit nervous that I'd blown a load of money on a pan that wouldn't live up to the expectations that I hadWell I can assure you that despite some of the negative reviews this pan is the real deal, I can only assume some people don't use themproperly, seriously get the pan hot enough to slightly smoke turn down and nothing sticks, really impressed washed with hot water as stated with cleaned it a treat and then oiled (I used rice bran oil as can take very high temperatures also seasoned a few times just to get it going!)Use it as stated and you will love this pan!!!Ps.. I used on gas hob and as other reviewers stated you will need to turn down heat as it gets seriously hot, so careful not to burn them ribeye's!!

Este producto resultó como esperaba. La distribución de calor a la hora de cocinar es adecuada y me ha resultado conveniente

The non-stick in my 14.5 in non-stick pan is wearing out. I have read many reviews on how great the non-stick properties are for seasoned carbon steel pans. I like a large skillet for making skillet fried potatoes and pancakes so I bought this 15 in Lodge carbon steel skillet, seasoned it following on-line instructions and have cooked three potatoes with ham hash breakfasts. The cooking surface of the pan is ~ 12 inches. The large burner on my glass stovetop is 11 inches. Using an infrared thermometer, the temperature in the middle of the pan was ~ 420 degrees, while the temperature towards the edges was ~ 230-300 degrees. The burner was set to "4". The pan has a very significant warp that gets worse as it heats.The good news is the taste of the cooked hash. I microwave potatoes till cooked, then chop them into small chunks. I also chopped the ham into small chunks. I use a generous (tablespoon +) helping of ghee. I start cooking the ham while still preparing the potatoes (I like the ham well cooked). I spread the food evenly throughout the pan and stir/turn it pretty often. The center obviously cooks much faster than the edges, so it is important to monitor and stir/turn the cooking food frequently, about every 1 to 1.5 minutes. NOTE: This is my favorite breakfast. I have been making it for years. My technique is pretty solid. The taste of this breakfast, cooked in this pan is perfect, noticeably better than in my 14 inch non-stick (Teflon?) skillet. Potatoes are soft on the inside with the slight toasted crunch on the outside that I consider perfection.One the hash starts getting close to being done, I move everything to one side of the pan, leaving plenty of room to cook (usually) 4 but could fit 6 eggs. The eggs turn easily, without significant sticking. Realize, the pan is not fully seasoned yet. I also continue to turn the hash. I love that the pan is large enough to accommodate everything at one time. Overall, I am happy with the pan, but very disappointed with the warped bottom and loss of contact with the stove burner. This would not be a problem on a gas stove.Cleanup this AM was super easy. The pan wiped clean with a paper towel. Zero sticking of either ham or potato bits. Again, I stress that the pan is not fully seasoned yet.I am eager to see how well this pan will cook pancakes once it has seasoned a bit more. No doubt it will cook a great Paella in the oven or on a grill. I also think it will do a good job of searing meats, although I haven't done that yet. Results would be better on a flat pan, but I see some advantages of being able to move cooking foods to the less hot outer edges.If you cook on a gas stove, I think you will be very satisfied with this pan. Electric, not as much. My experience with this carbon steel pan on my glass top stove, and the pan's tendency to warp means I will not be replacing my teflon pans with carbon steel pans. However, I am happy enough that I am generally satisfied with the pan and not wishing to return it.

I bought this as a gift for my son and he absolutely loves it!It gets used everyday for a variety of dishes.I would recommend this product.
