Lodge Blacklock Cast Iron Skillet

The Blacklock line is engineered to be significantly lighter than traditional Lodge cast iron, making them easier to maneuver on the stovetop. They also feature a triple-seasoned finish right out of the box for a more refined, nonstick surface.

While they are not coated with synthetic chemicals, the triple-seasoned surface creates a natural, easy-release finish. With proper care and regular use, they will perform similarly to nonstick pans, especially when used with a small amount of oil or butter.

Yes, these skillets are fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen surfaces. Their flat, magnetic base ensures efficient heat transfer across all modern stovetops.

The extended handle design is intended to dissipate heat more effectively than standard, shorter cast iron handles. While they stay cooler for longer, they are still made of solid metal and will eventually get hot, so we recommend using a pot holder or handle cover during extended cooking sessions.

These pans are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, hand wash them with warm water and a mild soap if necessary, dry them immediately with a towel, and apply a very light layer of oil before storing.

Yes, both skillets are oven-safe up to 500°F. This makes them excellent for finishing seared steaks, baking cornbread, or roasting vegetables.
