Know before you buy
This lid is specifically designed to fit Lodge 10-1/4 inch diameter cookware, including the L8SK3 skillet, L8GP3 grill pan, and various Dutch oven models like the L8DO3 and LCC3.
The raised tips on the underside are designed for self-basting. As steam rises and hits the lid, it condenses on these tips and drips back down onto your food, keeping it moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.
No, the lid comes foundry-seasoned from the factory and is ready to use immediately. You should continue to maintain the seasoning with light oiling after cleaning to prevent rust.
Yes, the lid is constructed from durable cast iron and is safe for use on all cooking surfaces, including stovetops, ovens, outdoor grills, and open campfires.
The lid features an integral cast iron handle that is sturdy and reliable. While it is easy to grasp, it will get hot during use, so you will need to use a thick oven mitt or pot holder when lifting it.
