Know before you buy
While it is designed specifically for Lodge 10.25-inch cast iron cookware, it may fit other brands with the same diameter. However, because cast iron dimensions can vary slightly by manufacturer, a perfect seal is not guaranteed on non-Lodge pans.
The underside of the lid features small, raised spikes that collect condensation from steam. As the moisture builds up, it drips back down onto your food, keeping it tender and flavorful throughout the cooking process.
No, this lid is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the pre-seasoned finish and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
Yes, the lid is constructed from durable, oven-safe cast iron. It is designed to withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for braising or slow-cooking recipes.
Yes, because the handle is integral to the cast iron lid, it will become very hot during use. You should always use a heat-resistant oven mitt or handle holder when lifting the lid.
No, the lid comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil and is ready for immediate use. You can simply rinse it with warm water and dry it before your first cook.
