Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

While the cast iron skillet is oven-safe up to 550 ºF, the tempered glass lid is generally recommended for stovetop use or lower-temperature oven tasks. Always check the specific heat rating on the lid's packaging before using it in a high-heat oven environment.

It comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, which provides a natural, easy-release surface. While it performs well immediately, the non-stick quality will continue to improve and deepen with regular use and proper maintenance.

Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its magnetic properties allow for efficient, even heating across the entire base of the pan.

Hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush or a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using a dishwasher or soaking the pan, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a very light coat of oil to prevent rust.

The included silicone assist handle holder is designed to protect your hands from heat when moving the skillet. However, it should not be left on the handle while the pan is inside a hot oven, as it is intended for stovetop use.

At 7.9 pounds, this skillet is substantial. We recommend using both the main handle and the assist handle when lifting or moving the pan to ensure a secure, balanced grip, especially when the skillet is full.
