Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cornbread Wedge Pan
Customer Review: It has a hole in the middle!
Summary: 4 Stars
I give this pan a 4 star instead of 5, for the simple reason that there's a hole in the middle of the pan. This hole renders the pan useless for anything except baking cornbread or brownies; If it weren't for the hole, you might be able to grill a steak on it, or roast a small amount of meat. I got this pan because I like crisp edged brownies and for that, it's great. But they need to close up that hole!
I actually did find a couple of other uses for it: Frying apples (put a slice in each individual wedge), making meatloaf wedges, and heating up various flavors of hot dip on the stove! (And then it goes right to the table)
As for the reviews which claim that it sticks: All cast iron, including pre-seasoned, will stick the first couple of times unless you spray it generously with cooking spray, or grease it with butter or crisco. After the first few times, you should still do that, but it won't stick at all. And I like to preheat it on the stove before adding batter.
Customer Review: Makes excellent cornbread, well worth it if you love cornbread
Summary: 5 Stars
Makes great, crispy cornbread (both Southern and northern styles). Wedges are very easy to remove and are a nice size. Lodge pre-seasoning is good.
Only problem, as noted by others, is that one typical recipe will fill the wedge pan about 1.5 times. I have found this to be a relatively small problem -- I just remove the cooked wedges, put the pan back in the oven for a couple of minutes, then take it out and, add a little grease, and bake the remainder.I suspect that the size has to with not making the pan too heavy and with properly cooking the center without burning the edges when used at 450 F.
I also agree with some other reviewers that it seems very much to be a one use pan but if you love cornbread, this is great pan. I prefer the result over a traditional skillet (the wedge pan gives more "crispiness" per piece) or muffin pans and it is easier to remove the bread from the wedge pan than it is from "fancy" corn stick pans, at least in my experience.
Customer Review: LOVE this pan
Summary: 5 Stars
I own several Logic cast iron pieces and I have to say, this one is awesome! I love the fact that it makes serving size portions. I make the best cornbread and scones in this pan. It's important to put the pan in oven as it slowly heats up with your preheat time. And also ALL sections of pan should be covered with whatever oil you choose for coating pan. I use coconut oil and it gives a nice slight flavor to my recipes and nothing sticks. There is a super delicious blueberry streusel scone recipe in [...] if anyone is interested. Just adapt recipe for a sectioned pan. I find that most recipes are more than this pan can handle so 2 pans would work well as this one is small or just do a second batch, which is what I do. Just don't forget to re-season pan. It's also very important (I learned this one the hard way) to not fill sections too high. Leave 3/16" from top so nothing is spilling over. Other than that you can't go wrong. Enjoy and happy baking!Customer Review: Great Cornbread Pan
Summary: 4 Stars
I really love this pan. I have several cast iron skillets and I wanted a cornbread pan. I purchased this one several months ago from Amazon.com and have made cornbread about 4 times in it. The only problem that I have with this pan is that it is not the easiest pan to clean. I have tried everything to keep the cornbread from sticking but either I am doing something wrong or what I am doing is just not enough. I always have plenty (or at least I think so) oil but for some reason it still sticks. I still love the pan though, its make excellent cornbread. Its the only pan I know of that will make crunchy cornbread on all of the sides...It is yummy. Even though I hate to clean this pan, I still love it. If you are looking for a cast iron cornbread pan I would suggest trying this one. what do you have to lose? Its only $16.00, I think its definitely worth that. I give it a 4 stars just because of the pain of cleaning it.Customer Review: Nice Li'l Pan
Summary: 5 Stars
Using cast iron, even pre-seasoned, requires knowing how to use the stuff. If it's done properly, your product won't stick. NEVER WASH. (unless you totally screw up, of course) One user didn't like it because he tried Pineapple Upside Down Cake and it stuck. Sheesh, this pan isn't made for that. Get some parchment paper and the correct pan! It's like using a pair of pliers as a screwdriver. You have to choose your tools.
I pre-heat the pan like you're supposed to, and then I spray with BAKERS JOY. Be sure to spray well in the inner points. It works great. If you cook for a crowd, it's fun to have two of these. They cook so quickly that you can produce an endless supply if you're an adept cook.
You have to time it carefully to keep it from getting too dark and dry, they cook very quickly.
I would have liked it deeper, but it wasn't annoying enough to remove a star.
