Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 17-Inch Cast Iron Skillet
July 29, 2008
Made in the USA. Lodge’s largest skillet. Great for large gatherings, picnics, family camping, or scouts. With this big ol’ skillet you can feed a platoon, company, or regiment.
Customer Review: Fantastico for pizza!
I bought this specifically for making my homemade pizza. I’ve found that baking pizza in a cast iron skillet that was generously coated with shortening yielded wonderful results, whether one preferred thick (my choice), or thin crust (my wife’s choice). It turns out a pastry-like crust that my extended family raves over. (Be sure to use a generous amount of olive oil in the dough..4 tablespoons per two cups of flour..)Baking it at 500 degrees is also part of the secret. The problem was that I previously had only the smaller 12″ cast iron skillets, but this big boy allowed me to make a hearty pizza main course for four to five hungry adults. The cast iron also retained heat for quite a while, once out of the oven, so that my pizza stayed warm until the last slice had been eaten. Clean-up was a breeze..just wipe the pan out with a paper towel and give it a spray of cooking oil.
Customer Review: Lodge 17 inch skillet
Yes, it’s heavy, doesn’t fit on a regular stove, & heats unevenly with small burners. I bought it to use on a large high output outdoor burner, it’s perfect for my use. I can cook a whole pound of bacon at once and deep fry enough crab rangoon at once to actually enjoy the party. Not a pan that I use very often, but when I do, nothing else comes close to it’s utility. buy from here…
