Title: I love Lodge cast iron but....
Review: First off, let me say that I really love Lodge cast iron. I've been collecting it for the last few years and love the quality and that fact that it's made here in the US. Having said that, I wish that the marketing people at Lodge would be a little bit more honest in their sizing information. I purchased this 6-1/2" skillet but the actual cooking surface is 5". Barely big enough to grill a sandwich on. Maybe a small piece of fish or a couple eggs. Some people need to know the larger size, perhaps for storing reasons, but it would be nice if they would include the information that that is the top edge, side to side, and then include the information on how large the actual cooking surface is. I have found it most helpful to actually check out the pieces you want to purchase in the store first, then come back here and order, if you like. For that reason alone, they have lost a star. Other than that, it's a fantastic product.
