Cast iron skillets are all the rage in cooking today, but not all cast iron skillets are made equally. Lodge, recognized for its hefty and quality cast iron items, is widely considered one of the most-trusted and reliable cookware brands on the market. The 1896-founded company even humblebraggs that it makes "the best cookware on the planet!"
While the brand's products cost a pretty penny (quality costs, right?), its most well-known and frequently referenced line is its range of cast iron skillets.
One its more reasonably-sized selections is its 13.25-inch pre-seasoned skillet, which originally retails for $60 on Amazon. The retailer, however, is now offering the item at a $20 discount, bringing the final cost down to just under $40.

Deemed the new "go-to pan for generations to come," this cast iron skillet is perfect for all cooking functions, including deep frying and roasting. Adding to its premium quality and differentiating it from competitors, this selection from Lodge comes fully seasoned with 100 percent vegetable oil and excludes any synthetic coatings or chemicals.
Adding to its authenticity and "homemade" charm, this cast iron skillet was made in the United States — in South Pittsburg, Tennessee — by the family-founded brand.
While all of these elements are good to know, the true testament comes in shoppers' hands-on experience with the product, and from the looks of over 450 five-star reviewers' raving endorsements, this is a ratings winner across the board.
One shopper spoke to the product's premium quality, writing that it is truly "made to last forever."
"I bought the 13.25-inch size and it's just what I want," the shopper wrote. "This pan is heavy. It's nice and flat and just the right size for me. Lodge is made in America too! Well made and I'll pass it down to my daughter when I bite the dust."
Another shopper commented on the pan's versatility and its ability to heat up evenly, even if it's larger than the burner it's set on.
"I really like the versatility of being able to put it in the oven, even a campfire," the shopper wrote. "Even though it's bigger than my stove burner, it heats evenly."
The same reviewer added, though, that the pan's "biggest strength is also its biggest weakness" — "That is the size," the shopper specified. Going into more detail, she mentioned that it is "heavy even when empty," so shoppers should "keep that in mind," when purchasing. She ended her review by stressing that "it's worth it."
The general consensus appears to be that this is literally the "jack of all trades" of the kitchen. Make sure you get one before the price reverts!
