This pan arrived broken in 4 pieces. Before you say "Well that's the fault of shipping and not the product," I've ordered many Lodge pans from Amazon and none have ever arrived broken. That causes me to suspect the quality and workmanship.
Thankfully the replacement arrived in one piece. It's smaller than what the title suggests; It's slightly smaller than a standard 9x13 baking pan. I got this because I wanted to make lasagna in cast iron, and Lodge does not sell a rectangular pan.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Saguaro Cactus Pan Review

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Saguaro Cactus Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My kids love these little cornbread saguaros because they love cornbread, everything about Arizona, and especially these statuesque desert sentinals. I bought the non-seasoned version of this pan last year and I'm still breaking it in, so the corn bread sticks a bit. I'm sure that the new pre-seasoned version will break in faster. Make sure to preheat the mold and grease it before putting in the batter and don't fill them too full. Enjoy!

Southern chefs will tell you that nothing bakes cornbread like a good cast-iron pan, and this Lodge Logic cactus pan is among the best. The vessel features a series of five saguaro cactus impressions, each measuring 4-1/4 inches long and 2-1/2 inches wide. The cactus shapes are clever and precise, with a pair of arms that extend out and up in the traditional saguaro manner. Meanwhile, the batter cooks beautifully thanks to the cast-iron material, which heats slowly but evenly and holds its heat far longer than stainless and aluminum rivals. The resulting cornbread cakes and muffins are cooked to the peak of perfection, with slightly crisp exteriors and moist, flavorful insides. It's the perfect way to add a Southwestern touch to your chili and black-eyed pea recipes.
Unlike traditional cast-iron cookware, Lodge Logic pans come preseasoned through a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system. The preseasoning process readies the bakeware for cooking right out of the box, making it far more convenient than old-style cast-iron pans that required oil and oven seasoning before use. The timesaving process also generates a nonstick finish that helps preserve the bakeware for generations while crafting an attractive heirloom appearance. Lodge recommends hand washing the pan with a stiff brush and hot water for best results. The cactus pan measures 15-1/4 by 1 by 5-3/4 inches (W x H x D) and carries a lifetime warranty.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cornbread Wedge Pan Review

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cornbread Wedge Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am very glad that I finally picked up this piece! I have several Lodge pieces and they are all very important pieces in my kitchen.
I would like it to be a little bit larger and was also kind of hoping it would come with some basic cooking instructions. But, since I am fairly experienced with cast iron, I didn't have a hard time figuring out the best way to use this pan.
If anybody out there is thinking about getting it, or has already purchased this pan and has yet to master it, here is what I have come up with -
1) Preheat your oven (I use 450F for cornbread). THEN, put a small amount of butter (or whatever fat it is that you prefer) in the wedges and kind of brush it around so that it will coat both the sides and the bottom. Put the pan in the preheated oven to get it nice and hot.
2) Meanwhile, have your cornbread batter ready to go. I found that it takes about half of the recipe that I was using in an 8" square Pyrex previously. Take the pan out of the oven (I have one of those Lodge skillet handle potholders that works great). IMMEDIATELY, spoon the batter into the wedges. I have found (through trial & error) that filling each well to about 3/16" from the top works great. Get it right back in the oven. For me, 15-16 minutes baking time seemed to be about perfect.
As long as you heat up the pan and the fat that you use in the pan (I prefer a little tiny bit of butter in each well), it will cook evenly and nothing will stick to the pan. I mean, there isn't even residue in the corners or anything. The pan looked clean when I removed the cornbread. I did this several times with identical results.
One more hint for the day - If you want to additionally season the pan (I did this before the first time I used it), scrub it out and dry it VERY well. Place a thin coat of Crisco over every surface of the pan. Don't slather it on thickly, and be sure that the top surfaces don't have any excess (I gently run a paper towel over the top ridges of the pan). Preheat the oven to 400-425F. Put the pan in the oven upside down, so that there is less surface area on the oven rack, and leave it in the hot oven for at least an hour. Turn off the oven, leaving the pan inside to cool of its own accord. You will have a beautifully seasoned pan that doesn't have the residue that you get using oil.

Lodge Logic Cornstick Pan Review

Pre-seasoned cast iron is great. Followed the directions in a Cooking Light recipe and got wonderful crispy cornsticks. Popped out of the pan easily, no sticking. Preheat the pans in a 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove and immediately coat with cooking spray. Spoon in batter and bake for 18 minutes.

Renowned for its excellent cornbread-baking ability, grandmother’s cast iron skillet has been refashioned into this unique dish explicitly designed for baking cornbread. This pan measures 12 by 5-1/2 by 1 inches and houses seven impressions shaped like ears of corn. Simply make batter according to a favorite recipe and pour into the whimsical vessels. After baking, individual corn-shaped loaves carrying kernel markings are ready to be slathered with butter or served alongside chili. This Lodge cast-iron baking dish--manufactured in America’s sole remaining domestic cast-iron foundry--is unparalleled in durability as well as heat retention and dispersal. A variation on the traditional cast-iron construction, this pan is pre-seasoned with a proprietary vegetable-oil formula baked onto the cooking surface. Pre-seasoning allows for immediate use while preventing rust and creating a nonstick surface for easy food release and simplified cleaning. If cared for properly, this pan will last for generations. Cast iron should be hand washed; avoid using soap or detergent.

Old Mountain 10160 Pre-Seasoned 11-3/4-Inch Cast Iron Loaf Pan Review

Old Mountain 10160 Pre-Seasoned 11-3/4-Inch Cast Iron Loaf Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own a LOT of cast iron..in fact, I probably own most of what Lodge has put out and typiually only purchase Lodge but I needed some additional bread pans and since cannot find Lodge brand any longer I purchased 2 from Sante Cabin and 2 from Old Mountain. Old Mountain arrived quickly, well wrapped/packaged and completely treated. Washed and used to encounter bread that dropped effortlessly from the pan without need for barely any prompting. After a few more uses the finish was even better...perfect.
The Sante Cabin cast iron arrived a few days later, washed to prepare for use and pan immediately began to rust. Description indicates "true seasoned" and "ready to use right out of the box" but also denotes "non-seasoned". It is NOT seasoned and rusted immediately after washing. On the other hand, the two Old Mountain loaf/bread pans were perfect. WAshed easily, zero rust, true non-seasoning and a beautifully shaped loaf.
Excellent purchase!

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Straight-sided Muffin/Cornbread Pan Review

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Straight-sided Muffin/Cornbread Pan
Average Reviews:

This is not smaller than regular muffin pans. It's straightsided where regular muffin pans have slanted sides. This pan has muffin cups that are 2-1/2-inch-wide by 1-1/2-inch-deep. My regular cheap metal muffin pan cups are the same depth; at the bottom they are 2-inches wide while at the top they are 2-3/4-inches wide. It's actually an appearance issue, not a size issue.
As for quality, it's from Lodge and it's cast iron. It's superior.
