Ok, another great looking deal. This is a "modern style", multi-functional pan that would be great for general frying, but also baking all manner of things.
I also decided to make a second purchase of the 5-piece set (at that price, come on!). They are still available at time of posting this particular pan, for $88.85 here. The price comes down to ~$81 after cashback. Bargain!
If you check the reviews, you'll find some helpful tips on how to use them.
Here, you'll find a User manual, (credit to @TheGhostWhoWalks).
I also recommend you checking out YouTube channels like Townsends, for great recipe ideas from the 18th century. There are bound to be a tonne of channels dedicated to more modern cast iron cooking and recipes, which I look forward to checking out. On @doweyy's original post, a recommendation was made for a YouTube channel called Cowboy Kent Rollins, which has "heaps of recipes and also has advice on how to care for cast iron and comparisons between brands", (credit to @mapax). Like I said, there's bound to be plenty more that suit your tastes, so to speak.
You can find a range of Lodge items here including some lid holders/ removers for safe use (I assume thick tea towels and mits should be fine), Griddles, larger Dutch Ovens, and a bunch of other items, some which I'll use for home, others for camping.
Don't forget your preferred cashback site, and, as always, enjoy!
MAINTENANCE and RESTORATION (Disclaimer - Use this advice at your own risk):
Here is a good video of how to keep your items from rusting in the first place. I don't think those scrapers are absolutely necessary (they were $5 a pair last week but have increased). See the other videos re/ scrubbers, etc, you can use.
Here is a guide from Townsends, a YouTube channel I'm subscribed to, for its historical value.
Here is a restoration guide by Cowboy Kent Collins which looks great! Credit to @mapax, this channel is wonderful. This guy is very endearing. His comments about using "love" and passing down your cast iron to your descendants was charming.
Does anyone know if there is a price drop guarantee with Amazon products? I bought the 5 piece lodge set from last deal. It’s now dropped like $20 or so within a week
