Lodge Logic, Seasoned Cast Iron Cookware Muffin/Cornbread Pan


Terrible muffin pans!, (What's this?) I bought two of these and they are HORRIBLE!! I greased them well because a previous reviewer stated that they required extra seasoning. Not ONE muffin out of an entire batch came out without sticking horribly. They are so much smaller than standard size that I can't use cupcake papers in these pans. I have a lot of Lodge cast iron, so I am surprised and disappointed with the lack of quality here.
great muffin pan, (What's this?) These do take some getting used to, adn they need some extra seasoning so they wont stick. They are great though.
This pan will rock your world, (What's this?) I really debated on buying this because of the people who complained about its size. I'm glad I listened to the opposition, because this pan produces gorgeous muffins. Baked to crusty perfection outside, moist inside. No problem with sticking. I'll admit it does look little, but it makes very reasonable sized muffins, far from mini muffins.

I was concerned that I'd have to adjust muffin recipes to make less to fit the pan, but that's not at all the case. The average muffin recipe yields a dozen -- if you've only got one pan, you've got to bake two batches -- and this pan works the same as your traditional/nonstick pan. I made a dozen muffins, with no batter left over. Perhaps the muffins are a little taller. I don't actually know. I ate mine too fast.
Muffin wells are sloped, not straight sided, (What's this?) I bought two of these to make Yorkshire puddings and popovers and specifically wanted a straight-sided muffin pan. These will probably still work, but are not as advertised.
Perfect size, I know some of the other reviewers did not like the small sized muffins, I guess this is a matter of taste - but for a mom with little ones I think they make the perfect size muffins - not mini but definitely small. I did season them once with spray oil in a heated oven before first use, then I spray and pre-heat before adding the batter and the muffins pop out easily even with multiple batches in a row (I use a silicone spatula to help ease them out). I bought two. The only change I would like to see is a handle or edging of sorts on the ends to make handling easier, especially with moist batter. Clean with stiff brush or nylon pad under water and you are done (no soap). Certainly not quite as quick and easy as using the paper cups but for a natural health-conscious, eco-conscious mom I love these.
Very small.... each cup hold 1/4 cup batter, (
Different than advertised, (What's this?) The product I received was not the straight-sided pan described but rather one which makes slightly smaller, regular-shaped muffins. Reading other reviews now, I see that apparently there are two different products sold under the one description. The muffins mine makes are 2-1/4" at the top, just under 2" at the base and the pan is about 1-1/2" deep.

So that being said, I'm very pleased with what I got. The pan doesn't make "mini-muffins" - they're just smaller than most other pans and a LOT smaller than what you would see in a coffee shop. I bought 2, and although they're not particularly cheap, I figure I won't have to replace them anytime soon.

I recommend re-seasoning them before use.
Give away other muffin pans, We bought this gem at the Lodge outlet store in Tennessee. Haven't used our old thin muffin pan or the floppy silicone one (gave it away) since. True, it seems like slightly smaller muffins, but it is straight-sided so it is more appearance than reality. Browns nicely and evenly. Keeps muffins warm until serving. Grease or spray well with oil and muffins slip right out. As with all cast iron, a little care and loving (don't abuse with soap) goes a long way to ensure a lifetime of great performance.
Lodge will never disappoint you!, (What's this?) Another great item from Lodge! The pre-seasoning is exceptional, and the cast iron is smooth and solid. The cups are smaller than those of a full size traditional cupcake pan, but are the perfect size for those who want to cut back on portion size.
Lodge Logic, is Fantastic! I love their products., (What's this?) I ordered three of these Lodge muffin pans. They are perfect for making and sending school treats in with my children. Cast iron is my favorite cooking material. If you heat up the pans in the oven with a bit of oil rubbed onto the cooking surface nothing sticks and you get a wonderful golden crust. Another nice thing to know about Lodge is that they are a USA company and make the cast iron here. I wish they would reintroduce their vintage stove top waffle irons.
