Verdict on Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

Absolutely irrevocably YES!!buy it definitely!I totally recommend buying a cast iron pan from Lodge!

Now lets get into specifics.Does this work in an Indian Kitchen?given that Indian food can be oily, sticky and really resistant!Can we make sabzi in it?Does the iron leach into the food?

A BIG yes to all that.

It works very well in indian kitchens, in fact, if you ask your grand mothers and moms, you will find that they used cast iron tawas for making rotis and dosas and still do.

You can make any sabzi like normal pan or kadai in it.It may require more oil but haven’t you heard? Fat is GOOD for you? but if you want to reduce the amount of fat in food and still use cast iron cookware, then you have to give it love and care and season it well.

And yes.Iron does leach into the food.In fact, it is a great way to enrich your diet with iron.So no worries there too!
