Aaron Cast Iron Pan, Black, 1 Piece

I have a 8 inch lodge pan and needed another for making eggs, reheating or using to make tadka. However to pay more than 2k seemed too much. This is a great dupe for the price as I can't see this size or style being made in India. I have put up a compare shot with my lodge on the right and Aaron in the left. Original sticker price shows Rs. 1500 and is made in China. This is heavier than lodge by about 200 grams. It weighs 1.6 kg which is heavy for such a small pan. It's seasoned well. I haven't re seasoned it yet but the surface is similar to lodge pans. I think it is a good buy for Rs.999.

It will be advisable to add handle to pan. I did it myself

Upto Expectations , but would suggest to clean and season atleast twice before using .

This is my first Cast Iron Skillet. It arrived pre seasoned (shiny black) and after each use I wash it with detergent, immediately dry it, put it on low flame and add a new coating of cooking oil while it's still on low flame. It ensures all water dries up and it gets additional seasoning so that it does not rust while not in use. It has not yet developed its non stick properties yet, which will happen after some regular use for a couple months. But it is money well spent.

Good quality cast iron pan ! A must for your kitchen if you want healthy cooking. I feel the price is little high though...

Not good

Had looked at Lodge pans, but very expensive. This pan is well worth it. Got both 8"and 10". Be sure to season it properly before starting. You Tube has a number of videos on how to season it. Excellent for egg, minced meat, chappati etc

I'm quite happy with the pan...definitely recommend this pan..
