Know before you buy
The Sugar Skull design is embossed on the bottom of the skillet. The interior cooking surface is smooth, ensuring you can cook and clean the pan just like a standard Lodge cast iron skillet.
No, this skillet comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. It is ready to use right out of the box, though it will continue to build a better non-stick patina the more you use it.
Yes, this cast iron skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
This skillet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, hand wash it with hot water and a stiff brush, dry it immediately with a towel, and apply a light coat of oil while the pan is still warm.
The skillet weighs 5.34 pounds. While it is sturdy and provides excellent heat retention, it is manageable for most home cooks, though it does not feature a helper handle for two-handed lifting.
Absolutely. Cast iron is excellent for high-heat searing, and because it is oven-safe, it is perfect for baking cornbread, roasting vegetables, or finishing dishes in the oven.
