Lodge15.5"x10.5" Cast Iron Baking Pan, Black

Beautifully made, smooth and flawless and not heavy to handle. Good size also. Can be used on a stovetop of any type as a griddle, on a grill and in an oven for broiling or roasting meats and veggies, baking large loaves of bread or focaccia and pizzas. Not having yet used it I can still confidently recommend considering adding this pan as a cooking essential for your kitchen.

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

Fantastic. This was such a good purchase. I’m using it primarily on the middle burner of the 5 burner stove. It’s perfect. I can cook so much food at once. It heats evenly, and it will last for years. It’s saving so much time. And of course it’s cast iron so it’s simple to clean and wonderfully non-stick as long as you know what you’re doing.

I replaced my coated cookie sheets with these. They cook evenly and food from cookies to meats are perfectly cooked. They are easy to maintain and come with directions for cleaning. When cleaned properly they aren’t sticky and food slides right off. They are heavy and extremely sturdy. Great option if you’re looking for something nontoxic

Great pan, exceptional quality made in the USA.Great for Pizza.

This is a great pan, very heavy with great heat distribution ! I baked two dozen of the best cookies I have baked in a long time! Next up Focaccia !

It’s a nice, heavy cast iron cookie sheet.Problem: I sat it on my granite counter and it’s not flat. It spins like a top.Lodge instructed me to return it and get another. Same deal. It’s simply not a flat baking sheet.It will likely be just fine. Most of my cookie sheets aren’t truly flat. Many are warped. They still function fine but it drives me crazy, which is why I decided to give a cast iron unit a shot. I have a lot of Lodge cast iron and I truly love all of my other pieces. My plan was to get one as a test. To confirm that the handles didn’t stick out and make contact with my oven door. They don’t. My plan was to get second one but I don’t think I’ll be doing that. If it were flat, I’d do it in a heartbeat.I’ll use this item. I am disappointed that it comes “warped” from the manufacturer.(It’s a consistent warp but a warp nonetheless).

Good Lodge quality cast iron. Cooks evenly. We use it on the outdoor grill.
