Can anyone recommend a resonable deal on a half decent cast iron fry pan for me?
Cast iron fry pan

I love my Lodge it's a 2 piece set that can be used as a pan and a pot that then go together like a small Dutch oven, it will last a lifetime, so they are worth it. Briscoes brands Hampton and Mason etc are a waste of money
Your local trash'n'treasure market often has these …..great value and pre conditioned !
I bought this one from the Warehouse earlier in the year, was only $50 - I was a bit sceptical considering a lot are hundreds of dollars. But it has been the best pan we've ever had. I'm pretty sure it came pre seasoned, but I did it again before using, I also dry out on the stove top if I've washed it and oil for a half hour after, which I think you are best to do with any cast iron pan. Cooks great and never had any issues with food sticking to it.

Yes this is one type of thing you can go second hand (Which can even be better than new if it's been looked after.) I picked up a le creuset from Trade Me. Already dozens of years old. No reason it won't last another 100.
If I was going to buy new I would get one from ironclad.
If you don't mind waiting a couple of times per year they have a sale of "seconds" with minor blemishes etc.
These are NZ made high quality pans, so not really a usual cheapie level deal.I got a sturdy cast iron fry pan, 26cm from Wah Lee at the top end of Hobson Street. Was recommended by a friend who knew the family and absolutely satisfied with it. Excellent running in instructions on the web page.

It's a fascinating shop, you could end up with more things you never realised you needed..!
Any particular size?
I've seen Lodge recommended a few times
