I bought that exact one, but it’s too big, and heavy for daily use. I have 2 x 6’s (one fits on the other for a lid), and an 8”. Thinking to get a 10”. Trying to stay practical.
My app didn't show the thumbnail for the image and I was very scared to look at what community this was posted in... That title without context is easily misinterpreted in a very wrong way, and I hate that I experienced that.
I have one of those ridiculous 13" lodge pans and either you are a giant or you are holding a much smaller pan. I usually regret buying that monstrosity as it doesn't fit on any stove and is stupid heavy.

Son bought himself a pan once he inherits it.

I buy my Dad all the best stuff I can't justify buying myself. My woodshop is gonna be amazing!

Don't have a lot of siblings, eh?

Just a sister who lives out of state and has no interest in the woodshop.

Try carbon steel, especially de Buyer. Similar performance, half the weight. I have both but use them for different things.

I like how my cast iron gives food a certain flavour; I like how my steel does not.

Nice! How are you planning on seasoning it?
hendu@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 20 pts · 243d
Lodge comes pre-seasoned... No need to redo it unless you fuck it up first. Just start using it!
cowfodder@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 243d
Lodge's factory finish and seasoning is absolute garbage.

We're officially in every conversation about cast iron ever.
fartsparkles@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 243d
A cast iron can rarely not be improved with another layer of seasoning imo.

I've got some older Lodges and they seem to be holding up well. Is this a result of yet more enshittification?

By absolute garbage they meant water droplets don't ricochet off at 180° into your face.
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 243d
🤣 Yea, that does sound like what they expect.

I hate lodges factory finish it's too bumpy. I take a sander to a new one and get it slick and then season.

They don't machine cast iron anymore due to cost.
Older machined pans have a smoother surface
jerkface@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 242d
I thought I was nuts for wanting to do this. My legacy cast iron is smoooooth.
hendu@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 243d
Dunno, I got mine about 2 years ago and it's been perfect.

Congrats. Post it seasoned.
