Lodge Cast Iron Cook-It-All

The Cook-It-All consists of a 14-inch dual-handle skillet and a reversible lid that doubles as a griddle. This combination allows you to use the pieces separately or stack them to create a Dutch oven-style cooking environment.

Yes, it is substantial. Weighing in at nearly 28 pounds, this is a heavy-duty piece of equipment designed for stability over a campfire or grill, rather than lightweight backpacking.

Like all Lodge cast iron, it comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, but it requires ongoing care. You should hand wash it, dry it immediately, and lightly rub it with oil after every use to maintain the natural nonstick finish and prevent rust.

You can absolutely use it indoors. It is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, as well as ovens and grills, making it a versatile year-round tool.

It is not nonstick in the way a chemical-coated pan is. It relies on a 'seasoned' surface, which is a layer of polymerized oil that becomes more nonstick the more you cook with it, provided you maintain it properly.

Avoid the dishwasher, as it will strip the seasoning and cause rust. For stuck-on food, use a stiff brush or a chainmail scrubber with hot water, then dry it thoroughly on the stove and apply a thin layer of oil.
