Know before you buy
While it offers a generous cooking surface, its 17-inch diameter is quite large. Before purchasing, measure your stovetop burners to ensure the pan can sit level and receive even heat distribution.
No, this skillet comes pre-seasoned from the factory. You can begin cooking with it immediately, though the non-stick properties will continue to improve with regular use and proper maintenance.
No, this skillet is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
Yes, given the 13.53-pound weight of the skillet, the dual handles are essential for safely lifting and maneuvering the pan, especially when it is full of food.
Yes, the Lodge Yellowstone skillet is induction-ready. Its cast iron construction works perfectly with induction, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
Because the handles are made of solid cast iron, they will become very hot during use. Always use oven mitts or a silicone handle cover when touching the handles while cooking or moving the pan.
