Title: An honest review with no holds barred.
Review: Everyone loves cast iron these days and in the USA people love Lodge for the affordability and availability the brand has in stores like Wal-Mart, Cracker Barrel and Bass Pro. Every camping and sports store will have these products.Lately the company has been making fun things for specific purposes. Woks, casseroles, pizzas and fajitas all have products now. The questions though should be considered?1) How often will you use it?Specific products might take up space and not get used. Cast iron needs to be cared for and oiled. If this is destined to sit somewhere collecting dust and rust before making an appearance once a year at Thanksgiving it might not be a good addition in the kitchen. Skillets and dutch ovens you already own can be used for casseroles.2) Is it safe?No. This is dangerous. One thing you don't always consider is the weight of cast iron. This casserole dish is extremely heavy. If you have arthritis, carpal tunnel or weak grip this is not an easy product to lift. It can be dropped and cause injury to a toe or foot. The pan also has short handles and when removing it from the oven at higher temps it is very easy to burn yourself, especially on the forearm, hands or fingers. Don't trust things will be okay. Be over prepared with oven mits on both hands. If you have a heavy roast be confident you can carry it.3) It is it a good value?Yes. This is an incredible value. Lodge is well known for being reasonable in price but strong in quality. It will last forever. It cooks superbly and has many uses. These are great in smokers, for brownies, lasagna and enchiladas. The food tastes better in cast iron. If you are a casserole person with great strength and patience for safety this is a wonderful value as no more broken glass casserole dishes on the floor to sweep up ever again!4) Is there a better option?Yes and maybe. Dutch ovens are easier to hold and move. With a lot they also work better outdoors. They also work well for casseroles. I'm not sure there is a great argument for this product when the other is more versatile. If you own a Lodge Skillet and Dutch Oven you probably don't need this. If you camp this offers no benefit over other products.If you are a cast iron enthusiast or have a unique need like a Green Egg or smoker this would stand up better than other casserole products this is for you. I love mine for deep dish pizza, enchiladas and oven frying breaded chicken breasts. It makes a wonderful meatloaf and roasted chicken with vegetables. Baked hams and roasted are exceptional but I wouldn't want my wife to lift it out of the oven on her own. She's tough but this is hard to hold with smaller handles and extra weight it would be a horrible trip to the ER for burn care if she were to lose her grip.Lodge is wonderful and keep in mind everyone has different needs and physical strength. Consider your own situation and this might be the best addition to your collection. It sure makes me happy. Happy cooking! Be safe.

Title: Heavy duty Cast iron pan
Review: Heavy duty, great for baking and cooking ! Gives a nice crust to pan pizzas, bubbles nicely for our pasta dishes . Cook a few steaks with butter and it came out nice and tender. You won’t be disappointed in this pan. Bring the muscle cause it’s heavy duty..

Title: This rectangular baker is a staple in my kitchen
Review: I love cast iron! I have all cast iron frying pans in my kitchen. It lasts forever, as long as you take care of them. I like them so much because you can use low to high temperatures, even up to broiling point. This baker is only for oven use. I just wait until the pan cools and add preferably warm water (sometimes hot) depending on how messy or baked-on food gets (do not leave it to soak or it will rust your pan and remove the seasoned finish). I scrub the baker with a Lodge scrub brush or a green Scotch-Brite heavy-duty scouring pad. Both are sold here on Amazon. Then dry and rub oil on your pan such as vegetable oil (Canola, or other high-heat oils such as sesame oil), and heat for a few minutes (in the oven for the baker) but you can use the stove top for frying pans, generally 350 degrees F. This seals and seasons the baker so it is non-stick. If, I had only known this growing up.

Title: Perfect for Pizza, Cinnamon Rolls
Review: It's also perfect for a lot of other dishes as well but for Detroit Pizza or Focaccia Bread, it's the bomb! The bottom crust is crispy with a soft top as it should be. Tall cinnamon rolls are perfect with all the caramelized goodness captured in the bottom - no seams. Easy clean up makes it the perfect 9x13 pan. The only downside is that it is very heavy but then again, that is why it is perfect.

Title: Very nice but .....
Review: I am wondering if I get some money back because they sent me a RETURN !!Luckily it is pretty hard to mess up cast iron cook ware unless it has been used so I am not to worried that they sent me a returned, unused item. But it's just the thought of paying FULL PRICE and getting a retuned item that burns.Ok, enough of that.This is a very good size cast iron pan. Should make some good cinnamon rolls with it.It has minimal chips in the "season" coating. This doesn't really matter to me because most times I strip that off anyway and redo the season so I have a smoother finish. -- There are a lot of You Tube videos on how to do this but I think Kent Rollins has the best take on doing this.------- OVERALL ----I will probably order some more of these for gifts but I may use another vendor as I am NOT happy about getting seconds.

Title: Excellent quality I would highly recommend
Review: Excellent quality I would highly recommend this product. It’s dirty a bit heavy, so be careful not to drop it on the floor. The price was very reasonable and the food turned out perfect.

Title: Great
Review: Use it mostly for thick crust pizza. Crust doesn’t stick. Makes the crust rise just right for me. Easy to clean after too. If dishwasher is used get it out and dried fast though.

Review: Absolutely love this roaster pan, I did have an issue with the first one I received as it had a crack in it but Amazon very quickly handled the return and replacement. I purchased to use as a roaster and it cooks meats beautifully, my hubby also preheats then cooks his fries in it, he says they are the best oven fries. I highly recommend this product.
