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.

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?

Lodge comes pre-seasoned... No need to redo it unless you fuck it up first. Just start using it!

Lodge's factory finish and seasoning is absolute garbage.

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.

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

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.
