Is it really pre-seasoned?

Yes, it ships pre-seasoned and can be used right away. The factory coating is thin, so expect to build up seasoning with repeated use and oiling.

What can I cook in an 8-inch skillet?

Eggs, bacon, sides, small steaks and single servings. It is tight for cooking for two or more at once.

Can I use it on a campfire and a glass stovetop?

It works over coals, on a grill and on most stovetops. On glass tops, lift rather than slide it to avoid scratches.

Hand wash, dry immediately and rub with a thin coat of oil. Skip the dishwasher and long soaking.

How does it compare with a Lodge skillet?

Lodge has a smoother cooking surface and more size choices. This one is a basic, sturdy pan that does the same job for camp use.

Our take on the Ozark Trail 8 in Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet with Handle

The Ozark Trail 8-inch cast iron skillet is a compact, pre-seasoned pan for campfire, grill and stovetop cooking. Cast iron holds heat well and moves from fire to kitchen, and dual pour spouts help drain drippings cleanly. At 8 inches it suits eggs, sides and single servings rather than family meals. It is a plain, low-cost alternative to name-brand cast iron like Lodge, which offers a smoother finish and more sizes but costs more.
