Our take on the MegaChef 8-inch Round Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Skillet

The MegaChef 8-inch skillet is a small pre-seasoned cast-iron pan with two pour spouts, an oven-safe body and a hanging loop on the handle. It works on gas, induction, electric coil and smooth glass tops, so it moves between stovetop and oven without fuss. At 8 inches it suits single eggs, a small cornbread or a two-person sear, where a 10- or 12-inch skillet would be more pan than the job needs. It is a basic, no-frills piece: it lacks the polished cooking surface and long-cured seasoning of premium cast iron, but it covers the same jobs at the entry level of the category.

Best forSingle servings: eggs, a small steak, a grilled cheeseSmall cornbread, skillet cookie or baked dipCamping and small kitchens with limited spaceMoving a pan from stovetop to oven
Pros
  • Pre-seasoned and ready to cook after a wash
  • Two pour spouts for draining fat or batter cleanly
  • Oven safe, so it goes from burner to broiler
  • Works on gas, induction, coil and smooth electric tops
  • Hanging loop and compact size make it easy to store
Cons
  • 8 inches is tight for family portions or two big steaks
  • Cast iron is heavy for its size and needs a firm grip
  • Hand wash only; no dishwasher
  • Factory seasoning is thin and food can stick at first
  • No lid, so it is not a covered braiser

What reviewers say

Owners treat this as a small, cheap workhorse: it seasons up with use and handles eggs and cornbread well. The recurring complaints are a rough factory surface that sticks early on and a handle that gets hot fast.

What people mention
  • SeasoningMixedOwners say it needs extra oiling and a few oven cycles before it turns reliably nonstick.
  • StickingCriticisedSeveral report eggs and batter sticking during the first uses on the factory surface.
  • Handle heatCriticisedThe all-iron handle gets hot fast and reviewers reach for a mitt or towel.
  • SizePraisedBuyers like it for single eggs, small cornbread and one-person meals.
  • Heat retentionPraisedIt holds heat well and gives a steady sear once warmed up.

Questions and answers

Does it need seasoning before first use?
It comes pre-seasoned, but a light coat of oil and a short oven bake improves the surface. Expect a few cooking sessions before it turns reliably nonstick.
Will it work on an induction cooktop?
Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so it works on induction as well as gas, electric coil and smooth glass tops.
Can it go in the oven?
Yes, the whole pan is oven safe, including under a broiler. Use a mitt, since the handle gets hot.
How do I clean it?
Hand wash with hot water and a stiff brush, dry it fully on the stove, then rub in a thin layer of oil. Skip the dishwasher and long soaks.
Is 8 inches big enough for two people?
For eggs, a small steak or a side dish, yes. For two large steaks or a family-size cornbread, a 10- or 12-inch skillet is the better fit.
Does it come with a lid?
No. It is an open skillet, so cover it with foil or another pan if you need to trap steam.
Where is the MegaChef 8-inch Round Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Skillet cheapest?
At Walmart, for $24.14, 31% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
