 Good, but be aware of the design drawbacks Apr 23, 2010
I have nothing but Lodge Logic cast iron, and I do omelettes regularly. So I bought this skillet for it's rounded shape.
Pro:
- It heats well and the surface will release food.
- Rounded edges are good for omelettes and other foods that need to slide off of the pan.
- Sturdy construction.
Con:
- In order to round out the edges, they had to make this skillet very heavy. It is heavier than my 12 inch conventional design cast iron skillet. I am a pretty strong person, but this is heavy even for me. It isn't a lot of help in making omelettes when one has to struggle to slide the finished product out - and that is a one-handed operation.
- Because of the design, the bottom of the pan (cooking area) is actually about 9", whereas a conventional design is almost as big on the bottom as the top.
- Due to the thickness of the walls, it takes longer to heat up than my other skillets.
Conclusion:
There is a reason that cast iron skillets adopted a certain design about 150 years ago. The conventional design allows for a lighter construction, less weight, and more cooking surface. Yes, the skillet can cook, but I would not purchase this item again. It is inconveniently heavy, takes a long time to heat up, and has a small cooking area for the weight.
Good and Very Strong Mar 18, 2010
I threw away my old non-stick skillet after the coating wore out. and now I don't have any problems with this one. I don't fry a lot but I tried it to fry eggs with little olive oil and no problems at all, I thought the cleaning will be really hard with the scrubbing but it wasn't..just use the right brush (harsh one) with hot water right after you finish cocking while it's still hot, it's just I find it way better and easier to get everything off the skillet. and just dry it right away and rub it with little oil and that's it. now I literally do all my cooking with two basic cookwares (this one and the Calphalon Triply Stainless 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Glass Lid) and I love them.

 Perfect - better than the older model Dec 07, 2009
I have both the new 10" Pro Logic (this one) and the older 10" Logic (bought at a local store). I prefer this one much more because the new design is easier to use. The curved sized, longer handle, and assist handle are better on the new Pro Logic.
For the small price difference, I recommend the Pro Logic - although bought Lodge cast iron skillets are excellent values.
Amazon shipping was fast, prompt, and overall good. The packaging was a little skimpy, but the skillet arrived in good condition - so it didn't matter.

 I've had no luck on non-stick Nov 16, 2009
I seasoned it per instructions, fried bacon and other fatty foods, found meat, eggs stuck. Re-seasoned per other instructions, fried only fatty foods, etc. Never used soap, oiled a bit after use. After a month,I'm resigned to spraying with PAM for anything that isn't fatty. The only things I find it better at than my non-stick pans is searing meat.
It's Lodge - enough said! Oct 26, 2009
As expected, excellent product... cooked eggs over-easy with my usual pan flip (no spatula) didn't stick - done deal!
