Know before you buy
Yes, the lid is designed as a fully functional 10.25-inch skillet. You can use it separately for searing, sautéing, or frying while the Dutch oven base is in use.
Absolutely. It is a popular choice for sourdough bakers because the deep Dutch oven base traps steam effectively, helping to create a professional-quality crust.
No, the Lodge Combo Cooker comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. It is ready to use right out of the box, though the nonstick properties will continue to improve as you cook with it over time.
Yes, cast iron is naturally magnetic and works perfectly on induction cooktops. It is also compatible with gas, electric, and glass-top stoves, as well as grills and campfires.
Hand wash the pieces with a stiff brush and hot water, avoiding the dishwasher. Immediately dry thoroughly with a towel and apply a very light coat of cooking oil to the surface to prevent rust.
The combo cooker is oven-safe up to 500°F. This makes it ideal for high-heat roasting, baking, and searing.
