I own a Lodge cast iron Skillet pan and it was the best thing I ever bought for my kitchen 100%

Non-stick coatings (Teflon & similar) are toxic

Only use cast iron or stainless steel for safe non toxic cooking

Even at Lodge, their egg is stuck to the skillet.

I had to zoom in and read the “Please keep off the skillet” sign which 1) is an incredibly hilarious phrase and 2) I still can’t wrap my head around how big this actually is lol [Edit] Found this photo for reference

The world's largest cast iron skillet measures 18 feet across and weighs 14,360 pounds. Created by Lodge Cast Iron, a 126-year-old American cookware company, the “history-making” cast iron skillet can be viewed in person at the new Lodge Museum of Cast Iron, located in South Pittsburg, Tennessee.

I wonder how long before they make a post here asking if they have ruined it.

One of our visitors spilled water on it and created a discoloration. Can it be salvaged?

After seeing this, I kind of want to see a ostrich egg in a cast iron skillet. Or whatever is the largest egg in the world.

Nah, stop spreading misinformation. Lesson #1 of toxicology is that "the dose makes the poison."

Use a Teflon-coated pan properly and it's completely fine. That means use plastic utensils, don't scratch the surface, and don't expose the pan to extremely high heat, especially without any food on it.

Don't fear monger. Teflon-coated pans have their place in every kitchen.

Using the egg for scale it doesn’t look very large tbh

For true Americans who reject colonial British units, that's 0.06 football fields and 30,952 Big Macs. For the rest of us, that's 5.5 meters and 6.5 metric tons.

Didn't anybody ever tell you that Lodge Cast Iron is perfectly seasoned straight from the factory?!? They use their special proprietary techniques that will make an egg slide straight off of the surface, even if that surface is rougher than 40 grit sandpaper!

One thing I've been hearing about is microplastics in Teflon, and that even a small scratch in the surface can be an issue.

But, I'm not a paranoid health-nut, so I use them for stuff anyway.

Shit for seasoning. No slidey egg

I have one and I use it almost everyday. I love it to death. Wrong since it will never die and it will be passed down for generations.
