What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Lodge Loaf Pan for its superior quality and baking performance. The cast iron excels at heat retention, consistently delivering perfectly browned, crisp crusts and eliminating undercooked centers. Dedicated bakers consider this durable pan an heirloom piece due to its robust construction and longevity. While the substantial weight is noted, it is accepted as a trade-off for the excellent thermal mass.

Know before you buy
The pan comes pre-seasoned with oil and is ready to use right out of the box. You do not need to perform an initial seasoning process before your first bake.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
While the pan is naturally seasoned, it does not have a synthetic nonstick coating. For best results, especially with delicate cakes or high-sugar recipes, we recommend lightly greasing or lining the pan with parchment paper to ensure an easy release.
At 9 pounds, this pan is significantly heavier than standard aluminum or steel pans. This mass provides exceptional heat retention, which helps achieve a consistent bake and a superior crust on artisan-style breads.
Absolutely. Its 9-cup capacity and durable construction make it excellent for meatloaf, pound cakes, or even savory vegetable terrines that benefit from even, steady heat.
