Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

4.60f

→ Where-to-Buy ←

It is practically indestructible. With proper care, this skillet will last for generations, often being passed down as an heirloom.

Cast iron holds heat incredibly well, making it ideal for searing, frying, and achieving a perfect crust (like on steaks or cornbread).

It can be used on almost any heat source: stovetop (gas, electric, induction), oven, broiler, grill, and even an open campfire.

As you use and properly maintain the pan, the seasoning improves, developing a naturally nonstick surface without the need for chemical coatings (like PTFE/PFOA).

At over 5 pounds, it is significantly heavier than stainless steel or nonstick pans, which can make maneuvering, tossing food, or washing difficult.

It requires a specific cleaning process (no dishwasher, occasional re-seasoning, and immediate drying) to prevent rusting.

Cooking highly acidic foods (like tomato sauce or vinegar-based braises) for long periods can eat away at the seasoning.

Due to its thermal mass, it takes a long time to fully preheat and heat evenly. Rushing this can lead to hot spots.

Lodge cast iron skillets versatile and durable piece of cookware. It comes pre-seasoned with a natural, soy-based vegetable oil, ready for immediate use, and the seasoning improves with continued use. The skillet can be used on various heat sources like campfires, stovetops, and even taken directly to the table due to its ergonomic design. Made in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896, Lodge is a family-owned business known for its high-quality, long-lasting cast iron products, states Lodge Cast Iron. The skillet's superior heat retention allows for even cooking and is ideal for creating memorable meals, from breakfast classics to roasted vegetables.
