What customers say
Customers highly value this Lodge octagonal skillet for its superior quality and unique design. The robust construction and excellent heat retention meet expectations for premium cast iron. The standout feature is the octagonal shape, praised for providing eight distinct pour spouts. This offers unparalleled control when draining grease or transferring liquids, a significant functional advantage over standard round skillets. While heavy, this weight is seen as confirmation of its durable, American-made quality. The factory seasoning is effective for immediate use, and ongoing seasoning further improves the natural nonstick surface. Overall satisfaction is high due to the skillet's blend of performance and unique utility.
Know before you buy
The octagonal shape isn't just for aesthetics; the eight corners act as convenient pour spouts, allowing you to drain liquids or fats from any angle without making a mess.
The spring-style stainless steel handle is designed to dissipate heat more effectively than a solid cast iron handle, staying cooler for longer during stovetop cooking. However, it will still get hot over extended periods or in the oven, so you should always use a mitt.
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so you can start cooking immediately. While it is ready for your first meal, the non-stick properties will continue to improve as you build up more layers of seasoning over time.
Absolutely. Because it is made of heavy-duty cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and even open campfires.
Dishwashers use harsh detergents and high-pressure water that will strip away the seasoning you have worked to build. To keep the surface protected from rust and maintain its performance, you should wash it by hand with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after.
This skillet weighs 6.75 pounds. It is a substantial, professional-grade piece of cookware designed for heat retention and durability, so it will feel heavier than a standard aluminum pan.
