What customers say
This Lodge 17-inch Dual Handle Pan is celebrated for its impressive size and heirloom quality, perfect for preparing large meals. Its exceptional heat retention ensures consistently even cooking and beautiful crusts on food. The dual handles are a key feature, providing necessary support for managing its substantial weight. While heavy, many consider this durable pan a worthwhile long-term investment due to its outstanding performance and robust build. It is a highly valued kitchen staple.
Know before you buy
While it offers a massive cooking surface, it will likely span across multiple burners on a standard residential range. It is best suited for large gas burners, outdoor grills, or campfires where you have enough clearance to accommodate its 17-inch diameter.
It arrives pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use. However, continuing to cook with fats and oils will help build up a stronger, more effective non-stick finish over time.
Yes, this cast iron pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Because of its weight and size, ensure your induction surface is rated to handle the 13.53 lb weight of the pan plus the weight of your food.
This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, hand wash it with warm water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
The dual loop handles are designed specifically for stability, making it much easier to lift and maneuver this heavy pan with two hands. Since the handles are cast iron, they will get hot, so you must use oven mitts or silicone handle covers at all times.
