Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Logic 3-Quart Covered Chicken Fryer, Black
Customer Review: The completion of my cast iron conversion
Summary: 5 Stars
This pan arrived several weeks ago and, though I instantly appreciated the high quality of the casting and the convenient and versatile size, I've waited until now to review it to see how it really fit into my kitchen. It now seems it may supersede its sleek black big brother, the Lodge 12" skillet and lid, as my most frequently used cooking vessel. My only disappointment with it is that it lacks the pouring lips and corresponding tabs on the lid that the skillet has. Those are great for regulating the escape of steam. Even so, the size of this piece, especially the height of the sides, splits the difference between a skillet and a sauce pan. (I have cast iron sauce pans but they are undersized (Cajun Cookware) though OK pots).
I have cooked enough with this pan to know that it will be used a very great deal and be with me to the end of my cooking days and indefinitely with future owners. I became a cast iron fan as my late '90's Calphalon Commercial Nonstick cookware began to age markedly in the last couple of years. I can no longer afford such high-end pans and cast iron seemed the way to go for a nonstick surface and good heating qualities in exchange for a little maintenance work. I now have everything in cast iron from a huge Dutch oven down to a 1.5 qt. sauce pan. Seasoning your own cast iron is a satisfying micro-hobby. The factory seasoning on Lodge pans keeps them from rusting in transit but you really need to do your own. It seems that every old sage has his or her own seasoning regime and they all work. Solid fat is convenient and it doesn't just get sticky like oil. I've used Crisco, lard, and bacon fat and all work well. I smear it ALL over the pan, thin enough so it doesn't drip all over the oven floor, and then bake bottom-side up at 350 for an hour. It may not be your particular grandma's way but it works well enough with the result of shiny black pans that are so very easy to clean with hot water and a brush. I'll keep the dear Calphalon until it's useless but it is definitely in the second string line-up now.
Again, this 3 qt. chicken fryer (I'll never use it for that!) is a great pan.
Description of Lodge Logic 3-Quart Covered Chicken Fryer, Black
Seasoned, ready to use. Fried chicken is not the real thing unless it's cooked in cast iron. Cast iron gets hotter, stays hotter, and you can't beat it for the crispiest of crisp and the goldenest of golden fried favorites. This 3 qt chicken fryer is deeper than standard skillets. 10 1/4" diameter, 3" deepRelive the vivid pleasure of childhood camping meals with this 3-quart cast-iron fryer with domed lid. Cast iron creates superior heat retention, heats evenly, and loves a campfire, unlike flimsier pans. Perfect for frying chicken, roasting potatoes, or baking cornbread, this 10-1/4-inch pan features tips on the underside of the lid that allow condensing liquids to drip and moisten the contents. While the skillet comes preseasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations. --Ann Bieri
