Know before you buy
The standard skillet features lower, sloped sides ideal for searing and frying, while the deep skillet has higher walls. The deep version is better suited for recipes that involve liquids, such as braising, frying with more oil, or baking deep-dish recipes.
Yes, Lodge cast iron comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, meaning it is ready to use right out of the box. Over time, the seasoning will improve with regular use and proper maintenance.
Yes, cast iron is naturally magnetic and works perfectly on induction cooktops. It is also compatible with gas, electric, glass-top stoves, and can be used in the oven or over an open campfire.
Hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh detergents. Dry it thoroughly immediately after washing and apply a very light coating of oil to the surface to prevent rust before storing.
Yes, because the entire pan is constructed from a single piece of cast iron, the handle will become hot along with the base. Always use a heat-resistant handle cover or a thick oven mitt when handling the pan during or after cooking.
