Know before you buy
The Dutton Ranch Y design is embossed on the bottom exterior of the skillet. The interior cooking surface remains smooth and flat, ensuring it performs exactly like a standard Lodge 10.25-inch skillet.
Yes, this cast iron skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen ranges. Its heavy-duty construction also makes it suitable for use in the oven, on a grill, or over a campfire.
While the skillet comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil, it is not a chemical nonstick pan. Its nonstick properties will improve significantly over time as you continue to build up layers of seasoning through regular use.
After cooking, hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush or a non-metal scraper. Dry it immediately and thoroughly with a towel or on the stove over low heat, then apply a very light coat of oil to prevent rust.
The handle is made of solid cast iron, which means it will get hot along with the rest of the pan. You should always use a heat-resistant handle cover or a thick oven mitt when moving the skillet on the stovetop or removing it from the oven.
