Know before you buy
The Blacklock line is engineered to be 25% lighter than standard Lodge cast iron, making it significantly easier to maneuver. It also features a triple-seasoned finish right out of the box for improved nonstick performance and a more refined, thinner casting.
The triple-seasoning process creates a natural, easy-release surface that improves with every use. While it performs similarly to nonstick pans, it is a natural seasoning rather than a chemical coating, so it still benefits from a light layer of oil or butter when cooking delicate items like eggs.
Yes, the Blacklock skillet is fully compatible with gas, electric, and smooth-surface induction cooktops. Its flat base ensures consistent heat distribution across these surfaces.
The raised, extended handle is designed to stay cool longer than traditional cast iron handles because it is positioned further from the heat source. However, because the entire pan is made of metal, it will eventually get hot during long cooking sessions, so we recommend using a handle cover or oven mitt.
To maintain the seasoning, this skillet should be hand-washed with warm water and a mild soap if necessary, then dried immediately and wiped with a thin layer of oil. It is not dishwasher safe, as the harsh detergents and moisture will strip the seasoning and cause rust.
Yes, the Blacklock skillet is oven-safe and can handle high temperatures, making it ideal for searing steaks, baking cornbread, or finishing dishes that start on the stovetop.
