Know before you buy
The octagonal shape is designed to provide better heat retention and even cooking across the base. Additionally, the corners allow for easier pouring of sauces and liquids without spilling.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
The spring handle is designed to dissipate heat more effectively than a solid handle, staying cooler for longer during stovetop use. However, it can still become hot depending on cooking time and temperature, so using a kitchen towel or oven mitt is recommended.
The pot comes pre-seasoned with oil, which creates a natural, easy-release surface. While it performs well, it will continue to improve and become more non-stick the more you use it.
Lodge recommends hand washing this pot with warm water and a mild soap if needed. Always dry it thoroughly immediately after washing and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
Yes, the pot is oven-safe, making it a versatile tool for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
