If I used this with the Lodge 8" cast iron skillet, would it be small enough diameter to make full contact with the bottom of the empty skillet?

Sorry, just saw this post. I use it with an 8" skillet (not a Lodge, thouh), and it's fine. It's a really nice grill press, but there are 2 things I'm not crazy about: one is that the screws loosen up and if I forget to check it often, it falls apart in the food or when I pick it up. 2) I do find I have to loosen screws for cleaning, since food, oil, etc, does get into the holes. Hope that helps.

No..the press is 7&3/4 wide and the bottom of the 8" pan is less than 6", but I use mine on my 10 inch pan even though it leaves space on the sides, it works like a charm. Just move it around on the bacon or what ever and you get desired results.

Yup. I use it on a flat bottom cast iron pan all the time. You do get some "grill marks" on the underside, but not on the flat side (if that's important). I just like the weight. it's a really good sized weight.

I don't know, I don't own the 8" skillet. I measured from the outside edge of the part that will slip inside the skillet and it is 7 3/4". It is 8 14" from the farthest part of the lid (the part that sets on top of the pot) across to the other farthest side. If you measure across the inside upper edge of your skillet and it is 7 3/4" it should fit.

If your 10 in. skillet has straight sides, it should work. Mine will fit in my skillet with straight sides, but not the one that is rounded on the sides.

As far as I can tell it should work well with any type of cast iron cooking grate. You bunch it up in your hand and use it like a scouring pad. Since it is meant to be used on all cast iron cookware it should work well. The only caveat is that it does not cover a large area like a grill so you would have to do an area at a time.

I would look for something a little thicker, you would need completely cover your skillets for this to work, it's pretty thin.

I use a 12 inch iron skillet with no problems. There seems to be even heating all across the bottom of the pan and food cooks evenly. Love this induction burner!

Maybe. I bought my lid to fit a Revere pan, an it fit it perfectly. If you're skillet is truely 12".....most likely. It is a very nice lid, not heavy, but definitely well made. Sorry I couldn't be more help..

The diameter should be fine the only issue would be the depth of the pan. The 2 ends have 3 inch spaces and the middle 2 are 2.5 inches so as long as they are not deeper than that it should be fine. BTW I LOVE this product - very sturdy and I actually bought 2. Good luck!

The Lodge Cast Iron pans I have measure 7" across the top, 6" across the bottom. It will handle a grill sandwich with the smaller bread slices. I love may set of Lodge Pans!!! The small pans are great for 2 fried eggs and or sauteing garlic, onion, etc. Be sure to purchase the siicone kitchen gear, the handles to get hot.

I use a 12 inch cast iron skillet for pizza and do not preheat it. It works great. I would think this would be the same.

It fits nicely on my 8 1/4 inch panini press and should fit the diameter of most loop handles, but this is the only loop handle lid I have so I can't say that it will work on all Lodge skillet lids. It is only 1 5/8 inches long. It may leave parts of longer or larger handles exposed. Ouch!

The bottom that touches the stovetop surface is 7 1/2 inches in diameter... Hope that helps... oh...make that 7 3/4 inches. I saw the other answer and re measured it. It is just a fraction of an inch short of 8.

It is 5/8" round and can be squashed to 3/8", but then spreads to close to an inch. I bought it to seal a fireplace damper, so I can't answer your stove question, but the product is exactly as described and arrived quickly. If the stove has a 5/8 groove, you should be ok.

I use it on the Lodge Cast Iron Wok. I believe its handles are as large as the dutch oven.

I do not know but I would contact LODGE and ask them. They are the manufacturer of this pan and they could tell you. They do make all different size cast iron pans and they could tell you.

I believe you could use it for a bit smaller diameter pan but certainly not an 8 inch. That said it is by far the best kitchen tool of this type that I have used. Highly recommended.
