Lodge Blacklock ’63 Cast Iron Skillet

The Blacklock series undergoes a specialized triple-seasoning process at the factory, which creates a smoother, more non-stick surface right out of the box. This mimics the performance of well-loved vintage pans, allowing for easier food release from your very first cook.

Yes, the Blacklock line is engineered to be significantly thinner and lighter than standard Lodge cast iron without sacrificing durability. At 1.82 lbs, it is much easier to maneuver on the stovetop and lift in and out of the oven.

The extended handle is designed with a specific geometry to dissipate heat more effectively than a standard short handle. While it stays cooler for longer, it will still get hot over extended periods on the stovetop, so we recommend keeping a handle cover or oven mitt nearby.

Absolutely. Because it is made of magnetic cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and even open campfires.

This skillet is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed with warm water and a mild soap if needed. Always dry it thoroughly immediately after washing and apply a very light layer of oil to the surface to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust.

No, this specific model does not include a lid or a helper handle. It is designed as a streamlined, lightweight pan focused on essential searing and roasting tasks.
