I bought this as a "tadka"/ tempering pan and it works beautifully. Just the right size and the intense heat of cast iron does wonders for creating a crackling tadka. Always good to work to medium high heat when working with these pans. The real validation came from my mother when she was visiting us. Usually critical of my life choices, she was totally sold on this one at first attempt ;) She told me that this kind of pan is very best for preparing tempering due to its weight and composition (iron). . Also saw some people posting about chocolate chip cookies using this and I look forward to trying it. Highly recommend ! The handle does heat up quickly, you will need to use a kitchen towel or buy a Lodge Silicone grip which is a "one size fits all lodge skillets".

How can you make a product that heats up this quickly and without making a handle holder to fit it?

The skillet was too small to make even an omlette, or toast. The base of the pan is much smaller than 5". The marketing pictures are misleading. That said, the product seems original, the packaging was perfect, and the delivery and pickup were on time. No complaints about the quality. Had to think twice before returning it. I would strongly advise the seller to update the pictures to give us a better idea of the dimensions.

Gusseisenpfannen sind ja wirklich tolle Geräte, und Lodge bietet die zu einem Preis an, der echt super günstig ist- Wahnsinn. Und die Qualität stimmt sowas von, viel besser als einige europäische Pfannen. Mann muss sie aber schon pflegen wie eine Gusseisen, d.h. nicht abspülen sondern mit auskratzen und mit Öl, ggf etwas Salz, und Küchenpapier ausreiben, und mit Ölfilm lagern. Ist mir aber sogar lieber, das ist irgendwie netter als Pfannen abzuspülen. Man hat keine Teflonreste im Essen sondern sogar gesunde Eisenpartikel. Geb ich nie wieder her- muss ich ja auch nicht, denn sie soll ja auch ein Leben Lang halten. Ich hab mir die Lodge Pfannenkratzer dazubestellt, das ist schon empfehlenswert.

There are times when I have three hobs with things on them, ( eg griddle pan, saucepan, chip pan), & I want a fried egg to accompany the other ingredients I'm cooking......but so little space to fit in another frying pan. This is the perfect solution: a mini pan just big enough for an egg. It heats up quickly & evenly, it becomes more non-stick the more it's used, easy to wash in hot water with no detergent, & simple to keep it in pristine condition by just drying it & applying a thin layer of oil. And it is also such a beautiful little thing, the design so lovely. It seems to be quite expensive, but then you pay for quality.

La utilizzo soltanto su bbq a carbone per fare piccole preparazioni, ok è piccola ma robusta e per il mio utilizzo è perfetta, va che è una meraviglia. Alto il prezzo? La qualità si paga, non adatta per chi vuole risparmiare. Lodge una garanzia

This is a very well made item! However, the 5" diameter refers to the top and you lose some of that as the walls curve in towards the bottom. The actual diameter of the bottom of the pan is about 4". That ended up being too small for me, so I ordered the 6.5" version instead. I think this 5" pan would work really well for people making eggs for an egg sandwich but not a whole lot else.

I have returned this item over two weeks ago with the same packaging. The post office was not able to give me a tracking number since it was not 48 hours.
