Lodge Blacklock Cast Iron Braiser

The Blacklock series is engineered to be significantly lighter than traditional Lodge cast iron. It features a triple-seasoned finish right out of the box, offering a more refined, non-stick surface and an easier transition for those new to using bare cast iron.

Yes, the Blacklock braiser is oven-safe and performs exceptionally well for slow-cooking recipes that require a transition from the stovetop to the oven. Always use oven mitts, as the cast iron handles will become hot during the cooking process.

Because it is bare cast iron, you should avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop and apply a very light layer of oil to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust.

Yes, it is compatible with ceramic and electric stovetops. However, because cast iron is heavy, be sure to lift the pan rather than sliding it across the glass surface to avoid scratching your cooktop.

The lid is designed to trap steam and moisture inside the pan during the cooking process. This is essential for braising, as it ensures your food stays tender and flavorful by continuously basting the ingredients in their own juices.
