Know before you buy
Yes. Every piece in this set is pre-seasoned with vegetable oil at the foundry, so you can start cooking immediately without needing to season it yourself.
Absolutely. Because cast iron is a magnetic metal, it is highly compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass-top stoves.
The non-stick quality improves with regular use and proper care. After washing, dry the cookware thoroughly and apply a very light layer of oil to the surface before storing to prevent rust and maintain the seasoning.
Yes, Lodge cast iron is exceptionally durable and designed to withstand high heat, making it an excellent choice for open-flame cooking and campfires.
The lid is designed to fit both the 10.25-inch skillet and the 5-quart Dutch oven. It is not intended for the griddle, which is an open-surface piece.
Hand wash the pieces with warm water and a stiff brush. Avoid using a dishwasher or soaking the pans, and always dry them completely on the stove over low heat to ensure no moisture remains.
