Lodge Cast Iron Baking Pan

This has become my favorite roasting pan for vegetables and chicken. Perfect size -- basically a cast iron sheet pan. And for such a great price.

This baking pan is awesome! It's large, doesn't warp and cooks everything to perfection without sticking. I keep it in the oven so it's very seasoned and if anything spills, the clean up is easy. I used to put foil down on pans and sometimes under them to keep cleanup easy but I've since moved to cast iron banking pans, large like this one and smaller ones too to simplify my cooking and stop using foil.

This is really great. It's extremely versatile. I've used it in the oven for chicken, and also on top of two gas range burners as a griddle for pancakes, which saved a lot of time. It's surprisingly easy to clean even though I did not reseason it before using it out of the box, like is usually suggested for new "Lodge" cast iron products. The review section asks for a rating in the ease in cleaning, the versatility, and the... flavor? Oookay. Well...? The cast iron baking pan (sheet pan with sides?) has no flavor. So... that part is also good. No weird flavor. Also, just plain, it's got no flavor except when food is in it. Then it tastes like the food you put in it.* (*"This pan has a minty fresh flavor that wakes up your mouth" not appearing in this review. Also, "This pan tastes like pineapples and ginger ale" not appearing in this review.) Other useful information: It's got heft to it. It's not lightweight. This is hefty cast iron, it weighs more than a glass 9x13 deep baking dish does. Maybe twice what a glass baking dish of its same approximate size would weigh. The handles that are built in are really useful, super sturdy, but it's not a lightweight item. You'll want to use both handles (and some pot holders) when moving it into or out of the oven. Its sides are one inch in height which is sufficient for things like catching the moisture released during baking chicken, while still not being so tall that the sides would impact alternative functions such as using it for a cookie sheet. It takes a little while to cool down before/after cleaning it (and then drying briefly on either the stovetop or in oven so it's completely dry) before it can be put away. I also wouldn't wash it directly, piping hot, from the stove unless I was using equally hot water to wash it with. I think sudden huge temperature shocks could possibly damage this full sheet pan, like if using cold cold water on a hot iron pan. This was an expensive sheet pan- at least I thought so- but it's incredibly versatile and it's nicer having ONE really functional thing than it is having half a dozen nice things that are only functional for one or two applications. It's more minimalistic. It doesn't have toxic nonstick coating on it, so you can use any kind of utensil on it and still not consume the poisonous fumes or chipped teflon or whatever that other baking sheets usually have. It's just simple and does its job well. It heats evenly, just as all good cast iron does. Like other good cast iron cookware, it'll also probably still be doing just as well at what it does, many decades from now. BIFL

I use this pan at least two-three times a week. It is now my favorite pan and even bigggt family members the same pan because I loved it so much! Very sturdy and heats evenly and cleaning is the normal cast iron way.

My new favorite focaccia pan! Lodge cast iron is unbeatable quality. My food always cooks well. I have multiple Lodge products, I highly recommend them.

Great pan. Heavy duty. Multiple uses.

It’s a good cast iron pan but it needs to be seasoned every time you wash it otherwise food will stick to it. I don’t know what the issue is but otherwise is easy to use.

This pan/ baking sheet is awesome for bacon and veggies. I actually use it more than my regular cast iron pan. I did get the silicone handle things which are nice and fit perfectly with it. If you want to get away from aluminum I highly recommend. I broil things and roast things with no issue. Sometimes I will put down parchment paper for cleanup ease but I don’t have to. It is a little smaller than my old aluminum sheet so keep that in mind. Great value, not really any issues with sticking if seasoned and it cleans easily. The weight of it doesn’t bother me and I am little.

Purtroppo troppo grande per il mio forno. Le maniglie non ci passano. Consiglio se avete un forno di misura normale di controllare prima di acquistare se può starci. Peccato perché era davvero bella

Look after this product and it will last a lifetime or longer. Very heavy, as it should be, and performs brilliantly. Love cooking with this in oven, bbq or wood fired oven. Very versatile.

Firme, facilita mucho la cantidad de lo que cocinaras aunque siento que no calienta completamente de manera uniforme, al menos no a fuego bajo. Pero cumple excelente con todo lo demás, recomiendo y vale la pena

Crispy roasted potatoes that are not achievable with aluminum oven pans.

Ich bin sehr glücklich darüber diese wunderbare Backform aus Gusseisen (!) zu besitzen. Wenn man Erfahrung mit diesem Material hat, dann lassen sich zauberhafte Gerichte (Pizza, Apfelkuchen etc) herstellen.
