Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet, 10.25 Inch

Mid-range Bakeware & Pans

Our verdict

This is the workhorse of the list: a pre-seasoned cast iron skillet that moves from stovetop to oven, which makes it genuinely useful for skillet cookies, cornbread and fruit crisps as well as everyday cooking. Cast iron holds heat well, so bakes brown evenly once the pan is properly hot. The honest limitation is weight and upkeep — it is heavy to lift one-handed and needs hand washing and occasional re-seasoning to stay in good shape.
