Lodge Cast Iron Deep Skillet L8DSK3

Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so you can start cooking immediately. However, the nonstick properties will continue to improve as you build up more layers of seasoning over time.

Absolutely. Because it is made of solid cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, glass-top ranges, and even open campfires.

With a side height of over 3 inches and a 3.2-quart capacity, this skillet is much better suited for frying, braising, or making sauces than a traditional shallow pan. The extra depth helps contain splatters and allows you to cook larger volumes of food without overcrowding.

It features a naturally nonstick surface created by the seasoning process, but it is not a chemical nonstick coating. To keep food from sticking, ensure the pan is properly preheated and use a small amount of oil or butter.

Hand wash the skillet with warm water and a mild soap if needed, then dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat. Once dry, apply a very thin layer of cooking oil to the surface to prevent rust and maintain the seasoning.

Yes, it is oven-safe up to 500°F. This makes it an excellent choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, such as cornbread or roasted meats.
