It’s way more comfortable than the Lodge handles. It’s also longer so it doesn’t heat up as quick as the Lodge handles to. I will say it did take quite a while to season it, I ordered one unseasoned. It is so slick the oil just didn’t take when I was initially seasoning it. However, now it is one of the slickest cast iron skillets we own. The Stargazer is my go to skillet for cooking eggs. Wipe it out with a paper towel when finished, zero food stuck.
Also, I have a 10”, 4” deep skillet made by BSR that was my grandmothers, it is incredibly slick as well. I was able to find a lid for it on eBay for about $50.
