Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Perch Muffin/Cornbread Pan

 (11 customer reviews)

I've got the non pre-seasoned pans and I seasoned them according to the instructions. The key I've found it to preheat the oven and put the empty pans in at the same time. When the oven is at the right temperature, pull the pans out, and dribble a little oil (I use light olive) into each fish, take a paper towel and rub the inside completely then spoon/pour in the batter. Then they pop out perfectly every time.

The design is cute, but as with any sort of bread thing, the pattern shows through but not perfectly. Still fun to use. Two pans will handle a regular batch of muffin batter from my Joy of Cooking. (I like buttermilk c/ bananas walnuts, or blueberry, or craisn's or apples as well as the cornbread recipe that lodge sends with the pans.

I saw these pans being used by Paula Deen to make cornbread to go with the fish she was cooking. I just had to have them and found them on Amazon. They are cute and fun to use, although it is a little tricky at first knowing how much to fill each one. (I had a few disasters with them rising out of the pans at first!) Once you get the hang of it, they make the perfect cornbread to go with any dish - and the kids love them!

The Lodge Logic Perch Cornbread Pan is fine, but the pan does not come
"seasoned" enough to not stick so the bread will come out without sticking.
Some additional seasoning should solve the problem and the pan should last indefinitely.
