Lodge Lock Deep Skillet

Triple-seasoning is a specialized process that applies three layers of oil to the cast iron during manufacturing. This provides a more durable, naturally nonstick surface right out of the box compared to standard cast iron, which usually requires more initial seasoning by the user.

Yes, the Blacklock series is engineered to be thinner and lighter than traditional Lodge cast iron without sacrificing durability. While it is still a substantial piece of cookware at 10.76 lbs, it is noticeably easier to maneuver.

Yes, the skillet is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, and glass-top stoves. It is also safe for use in the oven, on a grill, or over a campfire up to 500°F.

The basting rings on the underside of the lid are designed to collect condensation as steam rises during cooking. This moisture then drips back down onto your food, which helps keep meats and vegetables tender and flavorful during long braises or simmers.

This skillet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, wash it by hand with warm water and a mild soap, dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning, and apply a very light coat of oil before storing.

The skillet features an extended assist handle designed for better leverage and control. Because the entire piece is cast iron, the handles will get hot during use, so you should always use a heat-resistant mitt or handle cover.
