LodgeCast Iron Wanderlust Series, Dual Handled Camper Pan, 10.25 inch

I’ve always trusted Lodge pans for their quality and durability. I picked this item because of that and also because of the beautiful design on the bottom. I also like the dual handles versus the single long handle. I purchased this primarily for my camper due to its space saving design. I used it in my home several times now already and can’t wait to use it at the campground. I bought the optional Lodge brand silicone handle protectors (also on Amazon) to make it easier and safer to handle the pan when it’s hot. This pan heats evenly and cooks beautifully. Terrific for browning meat and then popping directly in the oven to finish. It caramelizes vegetables wonderfully and cast-iron is very easy to clean and maintain. I’ve had no issues with this pan or any of the Lodge pans I own. Great product and made in the USA!

I love the design on the back! Also love that it doesn’t have a long handle. It fits easier in my stove top and in my cabinet. It’s easier all around. I love how well it sears and frys and it’s perfect for reheating. I use it every single day and want another one.

This is my favorite & most used piece of cookware. I can fry, bake, broil, use it over the campfire, induction stovetop & gas stove top.It’s definitely not as heavy as you’d think it is.I love this piece so much I bought a second for my camper & a third for a friend that I know loves cooking as much as I do.I can make 1 pan meals that holds enough for dinner for 4 with left overs!

Perfect size, like the two handles, easy to clean. I cook with cast iron daily and have multiple sizes. This pan could become my favorite

Producto malo para la salud. Primer uso y agarra óxido mojo muy malo

I wanted this to add to my Lodge Cast Iron collection. Love the camper scene and it cooks food just as great as any other Lodge product! Fast shipping and highly recommended!!

Lodge cast-iron cookware has been made in Tennessee for over 100 years. It is built to last generations. The wanderlust pan is great to bring on camping trip. You can't go wrong with Lodge.

The MSRP for the Lodge 10.25" Classic two handled pan is $20.95, and the MSRP for the Wanderlust version of the same pan is $23.95.However, the current price on Amazon is $32.25, which is the only reason I'm marking it down a star.The Wanderlust is the updated product line from Lodge. It's the exact same material, seasoning, etc. The only difference are a few design changes.The Wanderlust is a bit more curved on the bottom/inside (slightly wok-shaped), where as the Classic pan is more cylindrical, with more perpendicular walls.The Wanderlust has the attractive embossed camping image on the bottom.And, the biggest distinction - the Classic has a grill shaped bottom with ridges, and the Wanderlust has a flat bottom.Both can be used indoor or outdoor, gas or electric stove, etc. Both are the same weight.After testing dozens of different brands of pans, my advice is go with Lodge. They're just as good as brands twice the price. And I have found potential quality problems with cast iron pans from china. Just stick with Lodge. They're very affordable, and have every imaginable shape and size available.Final note - do NOT get the Lodge (or any cast iron) with a nonstick coating. It defeats the purpose of cast iron, and I consider it a health and safety issue. Just get the traditional cast iron without any coating or enamel.

Perfect size and it's a nice cast iron pan.

I do love cooking in cast iron pans. It is a beautiful pan with excellent heat distribution.

Nicht mein erster Kauf von Lodge!Ein absolut cooles Teil diese Wanderlust Pfanne. Ich habe sie zwar noch nicht benutzt, aber sie ist schön schwer - wie es auch sein soll, und das Bild auf dem Boden ist sehr deutlich erkennbar.Ausser für Rührei kann man eine Gusseisenpfanne für alles benutzen. Diese hier (auf dem Gasherd, Oberseite nach unten) sogar um Creppes zu machen die das Bild auf der Oberfläche haben :-DDie Pfanne wurde in der angekündigten Zeit geliefert, sogar etwas davor. Sie hatte keinerlei Roststellen.Da im Amazon Angebot die Import- und Mehrwertsteuern inbegriffen sin, gab es auch keine Zollverzögerung und keine Zusatzkosten.Kleinere Roststellen hatte ich sogar in Kauf genommen, denn das Teil kommt ja aus einer Gießerei und nicht aus dem Porzellanladen.Allfällige Roststellen lassen sich übrigens mit einem Rostradierer (z.B. von Dictum) und einem Tropfen Wasser, ganz leicht und ohne Druck wegradieren. Dann trocknen und eine Spur Lein- oder Rapsöl einreiben fertig.Zur Reinigung empfehle ich einen "Cast Iron Scrapper" also einen Kunststoff-Teigschaber oder einen Holz-Pfannenwender.Einer der Slogans von Lodge lautet "Naked and covered in oil" also "Nackt und eingeölt".Ob als Pfanne, Backform, oder für Desserts aus dem Kühlschrank, Gusseisen hält lange warm und lange kalt.Meine Pfannen habe ich gekauft. Ich werde für diese Rezension nicht bezahlt und habe auch sonst keinerlei Vorzüge davon. - Ich bin einfach ein begeisterter Gusseisen-Fan!

LETTER TO “NON DISCLOSED CAST IRON MANUFACTURING COMPANY” - (1/30/23): Dear “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company”,I have just received my 2nd 10.25” Wanderlust double handle skillet after returning the 1st, because I assumed it was damaged.As it turns out, the second one is defective in the exact same areas (see images below). At first I thought that the grind marks were from “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” blatantly trying to pawn off a factory 2nd by grinding down the metal to match the outer contours of the rim. But after receiving this second pan, the grind marks are in the exact same place on both sides of the pan as they were on the first defective pan, so now I am curious if this is merely a poorly done part of the process.If so, then what is the point of going through all the trouble of fabricating a pan with such detail on the bottom, only to have it hideously marred up in two places with some kind of grinder?It really looks horrible, and I have been terribly disappointed, twice! NONE of my other “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” cast iron pieces have received this treatment. Not a single one, but they are a few years older at the very least. I can only assume QC is defecating the bed, or that “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” has lost its pride and integrity and now ships it’s garbage through Amazon. Either way, at nearly $50CDN for this pan, it is unacceptable.So, before I return this item to Amazon (again) and write a review (not going to bother ordering a third) in the form of a letter depicting my experience with “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” customer service department, please confirm whether or not this is now in fact common practice, a factory defect that “slipped by” QC, or if there is some other reason for this less than quality product.Sincerely,Disgruntled “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” FanREPLY FROM “NON DISCLOSED CAST IRON MANUFACTURING COMPANY” (1/31/23): Thank you for contacting “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company”. Our cast iron products are cast in sand as they have been for over 100 years. The mold is not always perfect so yes, therefore on occasion we do have to grind off rough edges. You can see this and our complete process of how we make our cast iron skillets in the short, less than 3-minute video below. You will notice the grind action happening right around the 2-minute mark.MY CONCLUSION: So there you have it. If you feel like overpaying for hot garbage, please check out the “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” WonderCrap series, where they occasionally have to grind down the overcast metal 100% of the time. However, if you still insist on purchasing “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” cast iron products, may I suggest hunting for older pieces at garage sales, or perhaps adding a little extra tequila to grandmas morning tea. Other wise, please purchase your “Non Disclosed Cast Iron Manufacturing Company” products in person, so you can inspect the finish first hand and avoid being the proud owner of a lame excuse for a lame product.UPDATE 2/2/23: edited to exclude “feedback on the seller”.

So pleased with this. A quality item for a good price - all the way from the USA.
