Know before you buy
Yes, all Lodge cast iron cookware comes pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box.
Absolutely. Because the pan is made of magnetic cast iron, it works efficiently on induction surfaces, as well as gas, electric, and glass-top stoves.
The best way to clean between the ridges is to use a stiff-bristled brush or a dedicated cast iron pan scraper while the pan is still warm. Avoid soaking the pan in water and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
Yes, the Lodge 10.5" Grill Pan is oven-safe and can handle high temperatures, making it ideal for finishing steaks or searing vegetables that require a transition from the stovetop to the oven.
While the pre-seasoning provides a natural non-stick surface, it is still recommended to lightly oil your food or the pan before cooking. As you continue to use and season the pan over time, the non-stick properties will naturally improve.
