Know before you buy
The heart shape is primarily for presentation, allowing you to create fun, themed pancakes, eggs, or cornbread. While the shape is unique, it retains the same excellent heat distribution and retention properties as a standard round Lodge skillet.
Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops. Its cast iron construction makes it a versatile choice for almost any heat source.
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil, providing a ready-to-use surface. However, you may find that the non-stick performance improves further as you continue to build up the seasoning with regular use.
This skillet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain it, hand wash with mild soap, dry it immediately and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel, and apply a very light layer of cooking oil to the surface before storing to prevent rust.
