Lowest price it's been all year according to CamelCamelCamel. RRP is $52~

After using my 12 Inch Lodge Skillet for a couple years and absolutely loving it (the non-stick effect you can get on these things is amazing), I eventually realised it was too big for my hotplate.
The more modest 9 Inch Lodge Skillet should be the perfect size for most Australian hotplates.
The base of the skillet is 18cm~ as seen here .

If you're interested in getting larger/smaller sizes and want to snag a deal, I've listed the relevant deals below. Keep in mind the non-wildlife versions will have a longer delivery time.

  • 8" Lodge Wildlife Skillet - $29.57
  • 10.25" Lodge Wildlife Skillet - $39.79
    .
  • 8" Lodge Skillet - $33.33
  • 10.25" Lodge Skillet - $44.79
  • 12" Lodge Skillet -$58.24
    .
  • 8" Victoria Skillet - $19.29
  • 10" Victoria Skillet - $31.59

Also keep in mind that if you get rust in the nooks and crevices of the wildlife designs, it can be more difficult to clean out then the normal models - which is something to consider as the base of cast iron skillets are more susceptible to rust. That being said, if you put in the care, you won't see any rust.

    I'm new to cast iron, are there quality differences between different ones?

    This one's only $20? https://www.bunnings.com.au/lacast-seasoned-cast-iron-skille…

    • bargaino on 23/12/2021 - 09:54

      They vary by weight - some are thicker/heavier, which can be good up unto a point.
      Their 9" says "997.9 Grams", but the 8" says 1.58kg, so don't trust Amazon specs.

      Otherwise, the "quality" is how well you season it.

      Lodge in Australia is a total rip-off. That model is us$12.90 on Amazon US. So call it A$20 with taxes, same as Bunnings here.

      A very good question.
      Unfortunately I've only used Lodge skillets, but I can make an educated guess and say there honestly wouldn't be much of a difference at all.

      The only difference between one hunk of cast iron and another is going to be -
      A) The design
      B) The quality of the mold
      C) The factory seasoning
      D) The quality control

      I would see no issue with B & C with your link, but the length of the handle might pose a problem if you drop it.
      Quality control may also be an issue with these Chinese skillets in comparison to America's Lodge brand, but I have nothing to back that up also.

      At the end of the day, with enough care and time, any cast iron pan will be amazing, regardless of where it comes from; But for me, if a pan is going to last forever/a very very long time, I prefer to know it's coming from a company that's been making them for an equally long time, and not from China.

    • KikisBread on 23/12/2021 - 10:22

      Keep in mind too, that you have to pay $10 for delivery on that one ;)

    • PleasureMachine on 23/12/2021 - 10:24

      In short yes. Difference can be metal used, how refined it is, post casting processes, QA, weight, etc. etc.

      But simply, the cast iron will behave the same. You can season it, it'll have good temp retention, it'll rust if not cared for…..

      I don't know about the brand you linked, but at least with Lodge they've been around for a long time and are reputable in the cast iron game. I have a heap of lodge pans and grill plates and they've been great. Wish they were closer to US prices here in Aust. (I did buy a lot of mine on Amazon US with free delivery so was very happy with the price).

      You can pay a premium for cast iron pans that are polished to be smoother. But lodge is a great value brand. I am aiming for mine to be BIFL. You can look into their blacklock range for the lighter premium ones. Solidteknic are nice looking local aussie brand I believe.

        Lodge are great, no complaints… yes others will do the job too.

        I own Lodge 6.5", 10.25", 13.25" as well as the "3,2 quart combo (Deep pan and shallow lid).

        the 6.5" is great for an egg or two.

        The 10.25" is by far my favourite, its great for schnitzels and gets used once or twice a week… personal choice but 9" might be too small .
        The 13.25" is heavy but good for bulk cooking. I feel 11-12" is the balance.

        The only non lodge cast iron I own is this:
        https://www.house.com.au/product/grylt-2-in-1-cast-iron-sauc…

        Lodge do not make a cast iron sauce pan… its great for deep frying, very stable, stays on the gas cooktop well and takes alot of abuse

    • diamondd on 23/12/2021 - 11:32

      can't speak to the Bunnings one you've linked, but many of the cheaper cast iron skillets I've seen have a much coarser surface than my Lodge and Victoria skillets and that would surely effect the cooking experience.

      the good ones have a surface that almost feels like a fine porous stone, whereas the bad ones are more like 80 grit sandpaper.

  • Lady Grey Tea on 23/12/2021 - 10:17

    Thanks, just ordered one. I'm anemic, so hopefully am going to get a bit more iron into me!
    NB if you choose Amazon US as the supplier and have prime (free shipping over $49), the price comes down to $36.99. Of course, you have to wait longer, but I'm not in a hurry :)

    • sistermay on 23/12/2021 - 10:31

      I saw that too but I want the 12 inch which is $80 so no deal for me.

  • Owgasm on 23/12/2021 - 10:28

    Waiting on for the 12”

      name checks out

    • KikisBread on 23/12/2021 - 10:46

      I love my 12" immensely, I hugged it a few times when I first got it; but it's just too big for my stove top.
      If you have a gas stove though, it's can be a perfect match.
      According to Camel, it dipped below to $55 January this year, so who knows, you might get lucky again next January.

        Look at the deep pan combo, the lid doubles as a shallow pan and the deep one is useful too!

    • KikisBread on 23/12/2021 - 11:01

      Nevermind! Found it for $58~ here

      You'll have to wait 3 weeks for it, but if you're not in a rush, it's a great deal.

  • sistermay on 23/12/2021 - 10:33

    I saw Lodge products in DJ the other day, they have a range which is much lighter in weight, can,'t remember what it's called, would really be interested in that one.

    • PleasureMachine on 23/12/2021 - 11:12

      It's called Blacklock https://www.lodgecookware.com.au/blacklock/

      • sistermay on 23/12/2021 - 11:24

        Ahh ! Yes ! That's the one I saw, they are really good when holding in my hand, not too heavy and very well made. Unfortunately it is so expensive that I can't afford it, not sure if it ever goes on sale online ??

          The SolidTeknics brand offer similar products, using slightly different tech, made in Australia. They're a bit cheaper, and sometimes do go on sale - try boxing day sales. Their raw finish products let you do your own seasoning to save some money, for example. Even with pre-seasoned cast iron, it's generally a good idea to supplement with your own seasoning anyway, so you're not really losing much. https://www.solidteknics.com/aus-ion-wrought-iron-cookware

    can it be used on induction?

    • KikisBread on 23/12/2021 - 11:25

      Absolutely!
      Just be mindful that cast iron pans can have imperfect surfaces, which would mean glass induction can be more prone to scratches from them.

      That being said, if you don't go crazy with them, and season the bottom with them properly with oil (maybe even a sand back if you're really concerned), you should have no problems at all.

    Personally I prefer my Victoria one, better surface, lighter.

    Victoria Cast Iron Skillet Frypan, Seasoned, Longer Handle, Medium, 10 inch Black https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01726HDY0/

    • KikisBread on 23/12/2021 - 12:24

      Not going to lie, that's a sexy looking pan. It has a nice roundness to it, whilst Lodge is more blocky.
      The long handle is cool too, but there are advantages of having shorter handles - such as having it fit more comfortably in an oven or a stovetop, or maybe I'm just trying to justify my purchase haha.

      Regardless, great recommendation, it truely does look like an amazing pan for the price.

      • TruckTrespass on 23/12/2021 - 12:59

        I own both the Lodge 10" and the Victoria 12", both great pans, can't go wrong with either.

        My Victoria does fit in my oven, FWIW.

        • KikisBread on 23/12/2021 - 13:14

          Might pick up a victoria pan instead!

          I don't suppose you know what the length is on the base of the 10" Victoria skillet is do you?
          Some internet sources say 8", but idk if I can trust them.

          • gunslinger on 23/12/2021 - 13:41

            @KikisBread: I only have the 12" sorry, internal base is approx. 10" (a bit more if you count the gradual slope up the sides), external 10.5-11" or so.
            8" internal for the 10" sounds relatively right in that case presuming the slope and height of the sides are similar.

      I have the Lodge 9 inch and Victoria 12 inch. They're both awesome.

  • Joe Joe on 23/12/2021 - 15:03

    I would recommend the $39.99 Tramontina 2 Pc Cast Iron Skillet Set from Costco if you are the member. This includes 25cm and 30cm Skillets

    Although it's described as Pre-seasoned cast iron, I still followed YouTube on how to season just to ensure a better cooking experience

    Same product can be found on Amazon
