The skilets tend to become smooth and non-stick with usage...so whether unseasoned or pre-seasoned doesn't matter much.. I have been using unseasoned cast iron skillet and am very comfortable...once seasoned pproperly it works superb
The price between the two has a huge difference whereas the result of the cooking is same! Then its better to buy our Indian skillet from sikkendar. You are getting preseasoned skillet from sikkendar for rs.550/ whereas Lodge is charging rs.2,500! for the same quality skillet!! The more it is heavier, can expect a longer durability
Castiron Itensils are for long run not for 2-3 months its for generations so why not to buy quality product for our self use. Castiron untensils are better than any ofbother material.
@@gurditsingh3854 cast iron is same and more we use. The vessel become better... Telling from experience and watching may youtubes and those comments........ Why pay 2500 for ditto product. ..
Why not choose a Indian product.... There are now more brands in Market.. Do check. With finishing it cost 1300.
Yes better but Indian Local manufacturer items... ROCKTAWA. AND DOSAKAL are two manufactures with better finish and price....
Very true 👍
This sikkender store owner is cheating people my relatives got cheated by him. He sent them damaged products after one month delay during which he dint even bother th reply. Now he refused to replace even after sending unbox video. They are poor people he has blocked their number and not receiving their calls. It's not just the products quality but also the service counts. From my experience he is a big fraud.
How about Rock Tawa company cast iron? Plz let us know
Hi dear
What’s the size of the lodge skillet that you are using?
Hi, can you please tell me whether sikkender skillet has a very flat base and do not shake when kept down, bcoz I have infrared stove with glass top. Earlier I bought 2 indian brands but It kept shaking and scratched the surface..
There are other youtubes with details.. With details and phone no

Please go for indian products than imported ones.cast iron in india is a very old method of making vessels and pans which was used by our ancestors so we needn't compare like this its each ones mind set that is all.
So true.. Be Indian Buy Indian
Still indian makes.not upto the mark
True
@@defineyoursel no one is forcing people to buy Indian one it's up to their choice but what best we do to our people we have to try if no feed back is given nothing will improve..

Thank u mam. Can we make tomato or sour curries in cast iron skillet?
Hi dear... cast iron is best for deep frying and dry roasted curries and dishes... once the pan is well seasoned you can cook tomatoes in it.. but when we make make gravies adding tomato and water slight colour change will come.. also we have to transfer the gravy soon after cooking from the cookware.. if it is dry dish its ok to keep.. also oiling and maintaing pan is also needed..
Acidic things usually aren't adviced to be cooked in a cast iron pan...
How to choose the skillet size? I cook vegetarian. So I am wondering I'll use the skillet for tadka / seasoning and cooking dry veggie. Can u share which size skillet would be suitable for each of these? Thank u
For thadka you will need a small thadka pan or a small skillet.. skillet comes in 3.5", 6.5", 9", 10"' etc.. if you have to cook veggies in small 9 is enough.. mine is 10 inches you can cook a reasonably good quantity in it😊👍
Vegetarian recipes, like, potato fry, and other fry item, tomato thokku, shallow fry, deep fry, fried rice and small quantity biryani can be made in skillet. Even i make uthappam in skillet.
I use Sikhander cast iron utensils and trust me they are the best. I also own lodge ones but Sikhander ones are no less in performance than lodge.
I tired Rock tawa from Amazon, but curry is turning black while Cooking. Tired seasoning and cleaning many times. My question is when will dark colour stop coming and is it hardazous to health.? Please let me know...
During initial use avoid currys especially those with tomatoes... use it for deep frying, making rot, roasting etc.. wait until the pan is well seasoned before you prepare curries.. I havent used this brand.. if the preseasoning is not satisfactory you can reseason it by immersing it in rice water for a day, take it out, clean, dry on stove and apply oil.. saute some onion until black and discard it.. seasoning is complete and you can use the pan.. use it very often..
@@ideasathome is there any alternative for onion for seasoning?
Please compare with AMAZON HOME BASIS VS ROCK TAWA VS LODGE SKILLET... PLZZZZ
Thank you for the suggestion.. but at present I dont have these cookwares with me except lodge pan.. will do it once I get an opportunity to do👍
Why lodge... please support our Indian cast iron utensils. 🙏....why we want to spend more money.........I used Indian cast iron utensils from so many years n m so happy with it....
Thank you!Useful video. Could you please tell which seller from Amazon you had bought Lodge from? I doubt of duplicate lodge in Amazon
I dont remember dear..

Can we make indian sweets in cast iron utensils?
Yes.. We can👍☺️
Can we make roti and tomato vegetables also?
Yes you can make roti..its heavy so lifting it often wont be easy..once well seasoned we can make tomato gravies too..after cooking transfer the curry to another vessel..if we keep for long colour of gravy will change
Ma'am, I have just purchased a cast iron dosa pan online which weights 2 Kg and is 12 inches diameter. The problem I am facing with the cast iron is that it get heat up fast in the middle and heat doesn't get distributed evenly. Should the cast iron tawa be more heavy for it to get roasted evenly ? What's an expert advice ?
is dosa tawa iron or cast iron..is it seasoned well.try to make dosa in medium heat applying gigelly oil.
It must be of uniform thickness to get heated up evenly
What is seasoning?

How to season the Sikender Stores Skillet?
Why my Lodge Dosa tawa turned into rust color after first wash ? Do I need to apply an oil and continue seasoning?
Yes all cast iron and iron cookwares after washing, need to be dried.. you can place over gas stove when water dries, switch off, apply little coconut oil
and when cooled down store it in an open place.. I have done review of lodge cast iron skillet. Plz watch that.. dosa tawa you dont need to wash often though

MADHAV DESHINGKAR LODGE reversible double play grill/griddle is a very versatile piece to own. I have 2 of the reversible Lodge grill/griddle in different sizes-small one when I’m cooking only for 1-2 person, the bigger one when cooking for more than 2-3 persons & make 2-3 dosas in a single side & 8 grilled sandwiches on the grill side.
mam i am from bangalore. can we cook sour food like sambar curry n all in iron skillet???
mam can you reply to my comment
sorry for the delay.once the skillet is well seasoned you can make tomato gravies in it.But soon after cooking you have to transfer it from the cookware.Else the gravy can change its colour.I usually make sambar in my steel cooker and fish curry in claybpot.Cast iron cookwares are best for dry roast,deepfrying,dosa,thick gravies etc
@@ideasathome Ok thank you so much mam
Shruthi Jagathkumar you can also go for LODGE enameled Dutch ovens for citrus & gravy items cooking.

There a Indian brand that is known for making India skillets? Thank you.

Which on6 is best
@@halimaponnu9026 both r good lodge have smooth finish but rock skillet has sandy finish but quality is superb
Which is best to buy
lodge☺
Lodge bought in USA is best, not bought in India, most of them are fake
Monisha Rebello lodge from Amazon is authentic.
If Indians can produce fake lodge with great finish they might as well make their own brand. Nothing compares to the finishing of Lodge.

Do you cook gravies with tomato in a cast iron utensil?
It's not recommended to cook tomato or acidic foods in cast iron.
Can we use lodge cast irom directly out of the box as it is preseasoned?

once well seasoned you can cook,but soon after cooking tranfer the curry to another serving dish..else the gravy can get a slight colour change fue to iron content

Why do you think loadge is the best ? 😊 Why particular reason why lodge is much black than all the other Indian lodges ?
Good finishing and moderately heavy
I bought from sikkinder stores does it take much time to cook cos I tried potatoes I felt it took longer that the usual vessels I'm not sure whether I dont know to use. And is it necessary to close the skillet while cooking. Or it ll be useful if u make any cooking videos using skillet thanks in advance
th-cam.com/video/ixpmiWnwg8Y/w-d-xo.html
this is a paneer roast recipe in sikkander skillet.Though the language is malayalam you can see the visuals..closing the skillet while cooking will make the cooking process faster..I didnt find increase in cooking time..may be your pan is new and getting seasoned..once cooked you can fry the potatoes in high flame too..

Having just used this skillet for the first time, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIst1DRMCWM6dgd9VjXMFXlH4HeElE6Mc to batter-fry some macaroni & cheese, I'm absolutely in love with it. The foldaway design means it actually fits in my very small kitchen, but it also makes everything crazy simple to clean. While the instructions say you should not deep fry in this, you can, but do it with your best judgment; in my case the oil didn't even reach the halfway mark.It's hard to see in the pictures, but the skillet itself has a lip in the corner. This allows steam to get out during cooking if the lid is on (so don't try to steam rice in it), and makes pouring out used oil extremely easy.Cleanup was a dream. After detaching the plug and control circuit, the unit is just three separate pieces: The skillet itself, the lid, and the base which may or may not need any cleaning at all (usually just the handles). Compared to a dedicated deep fryer I purchased in the past, where the heating element was suspended in the oil and everything was difficult to clean, the difference was amazing.I'm definitely looking forward to using this for more things in the future.
Lodge. Is the best
☺👍
ideas at home: we just Lodge 10.5 Griddle, but the Dosas are sticking tried couple of time but same is the story...pls advise
Apply gingelly oil on the tawa..this will season the tawa,you can even pat the surface with half cut onion before pouring batter..use the dosa tawa only for dosa and omelette..plz dont use for roti..plz watch my pizza dosa recipe in cast iron dosa tawa...👍

Any idea on Myers brand for Cast Iron skillet
Sorry I havent cooked in it...
No worries, keep up your good work... 🙂
Why can't Indian companies come out with refined state of the art cast iron cookwares. Indian is the country where metal work at one time was the best in the world. What is stopping us now? All lodge has done is make is more refined and preseasoned the untensils for their customers. And boom!
Sikandar Stores are also making Pre-seasoned ones. dont know when she purchased this Skillet. In my Opinion, the Sikandar stores skillet is good enough in Comparison with US made skillets. Similar cooking times observed and also its very less cost compared to Lodge brands.
Ms. L. My thoughts exactly! Indian mentality is “Sab kuch chalta hai”. Having more than 10-12 Lodge pieces has been a game changer for me & made something so mundane as cooking more delightful & adventurous & I actually look forward to cooking & trying out newer things in these beautifully crafted over 100+ year old brand.
Lodge is actually cheap but we end up paying more for the duties & taxes. Luckily for me I got all my lodge on amazon at great discounts & at prices at par with on the lodge website.
If I’m going to be using something for the rest of my life, I’d go for Lodge compared to poorly crafted Indian brands.
Besides, having seen lots of videos of Lodge foundry, one is assured there’s no lead in their cookwear & with the Indian mentality to cut corners, I’d forever be in doubt about what is going on in my food & stomach of my family.
For me it’s Lodge all the way. A brand that in this day & age of cut throat competition & corporate system has survived for over a century & still keeps their products affordable & treats its employees like family (many generations have continued to work for Lodge), etc speaks of high quality & very high integrity IMHO.
I didn’t mind paying a few 100 more for the beautifully finished pieces of art. They look great when served directly on the table. I’d not serve in the Indian poorly finished pans & pots. Sad as it is to write this, but the truth is Indians MUST do away with this laissez fair attitude of chalta hai etc & have more refined sense & aspiration for perfection in every aspect of life.
Lodge sportsman grill is an absolute delight to cook in the garden & have very rustic authentic food & flavors when baajra & jawar & even wheat rotis are cooked.
@@abiramky thank you for the compliments.
You’re giving your own PEHCHAAN by these garlands of praises Sir.
If someone gives me a gift & I don’t accept it, it remains with the other person right?? Classic tale of Buddha.
Well, I don’t accept the garlands you bestow upon me kind Sir.
Have a great day. May God be with you always & bestow Grace upon you.🙏🏻
Check this out where lodge finish is called out as not perfect th-cam.com/video/5gA4Nueeq-g/w-d-xo.html
I think it's fare to say so long as the product can be used to satisfaction within the affordability range one should go for it
Like hand finished products & machine finished differences there is likely to be differences in the machines used by then for a minor fleck I think Indian makers can't be dumped
To think of our our earlier generations used dosa tawas kadais roti tawas so many metal vessels mostly hand made and were great ....lasts generations I m using 5th generation of kadai !! But ofcourse it's not induction compatible but no one will ever say fire cooked is bad but like microwave is now being told not good some day induction may not be good too let's not be surprised if it happens
Here, lodge & sikkandar stores are like whether I want to or can afford Manish Malhotra/Sabyasachi designer wear tailor made or the just the material I buy & made by my tailor.
One for 3000 and one for 400 and made in india …. The costly one is not automatic then y will spend 3000 on same thing which I can get for 400!!! Come out of braindrain
Cast iron is cast iron. Can't any difference except fancy pre-seasoning and 'Made in USA' label.
Lodge is made in china by usa company.
I agree, I got duped recently buying a Lodge Combo cooker from a so called authorised distributor here in India. It came with rust on both the items.
No, its made in usa
Kailash Patra pls do your research before spreading false info. It’s all made in USA except their enameled Dutch ovens.
Lodge has its own TH-cam channel & study their website too & see their foundry videos on YT.
@@nobodynothing2594 yeas, these people should do some basic research before posting such stupidity.
But one thing we need to admit, lodge cast iron products have great finishing with light weight (compares to indian), they rust easily while comparing with indian made cast iron products.
@@dreambig3234 yes lodge is fabulous. Few Yrs back I tried with first buying the 3.5” tiny pan, after which I ended up buying 12 pieces of lodge pots & pans & double Dutch Oven & one enameled Dutch Oven.
It’s been a game changer in how much I enjoy cooking with delight & look forward ro cooking.
God bless.
