Lodge Carbon Steel Skillet

Carbon steel is significantly lighter than cast iron, making it easier to maneuver on the stovetop. While it offers similar heat retention and a natural non-stick seasoning, it heats up and cools down much faster, providing more precise control over your cooking temperature.

The skillet comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil, which provides a functional non-stick surface for most foods. However, like all carbon steel, its non-stick properties will improve significantly the more you use it and continue to build up layers of seasoning.

Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass-top stoves. Its flat base ensures consistent contact for even heat distribution across these surfaces.

Hand wash the pan with warm water and a mild soap if needed, then dry it immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust. After drying, apply a very light coating of oil to the surface before storing it to maintain the seasoning.

Yes, carbon steel is highly durable and can withstand metal spatulas and whisks. Unlike non-stick pans with synthetic coatings, you do not need to worry about scratching or peeling surfaces.

Dishwashers use harsh detergents and prolonged exposure to water that will strip away the protective seasoning you have worked to build. To keep the pan rust-free and maintain its natural non-stick finish, always clean it by hand.
