## Description

Product Description Lodge Cast Iron Skillets/Frying Pans - an Essential Tool for Every Kitchen Whether you need to scramble an egg, fry a chicken, sear a steak or sauté your vegetables, Lodge offer a vast array of traditional cast iron skillets that are perfect for the job. Ranging in size from 8 to 43 centimetres (3.5 to 17 inches), and available with and without lids, the skillets boast essential features such as assist handles for easy lifting and side lips for effortless pouring. The assortment also includes skillets with additional depth that are designed for tasks such as deep frying and oven baking. Fabulously adaptable, a Lodge cast iron skillet is an essential tool for every kitchen. About Lodge - 100 Years and Still Cooking Originally established by Joseph Lodge in 1896 - and with over 118 years of experience - Lodge is renowned for producing the finest cast iron cookware in the world. The family-owned company, based in South Pittsburg (Tennessee), is the only remaining manufacturer of cast iron cookware in the USA. The business has survived two World Wars and the Great Depression and continues to prosper today due to its legacy of quality and dedication to improving manufacturing methods. The Evolution of Lodge Lodge’s legendary foundry has undergone several notable upgrades as the company has grown. In order to respond to increasing demand, it was converted from a hand-pour operation to an automated moulding process in 1950. This led to safer and more efficient manufacturing procedures. In 1992, with an emphasis on conservation, Lodge’s coal-fired cupola furnaces were replaced by an electro-magnetic induction melting system. With consumer demand beginning to exceed foundry capacity, Lodge recently completed a comprehensive expansion of its facilities that cost in excess of 30 million dollars. This included new melting and sand systems, an additional moulding line and enhanced seasoning capabilities. These developments have increased capacity by almost 50% and have ensured that Lodge’s foundry is now the most technologically-advanced in the world. Why Cast Iron? Cast iron provides the finest heat distribution and retention of any cookware metal. The heat spreads rapidly and evenly across both the bottom and sides of the material and stays hot for a prolonged period of time. It is also extremely versatile and can be used to sear, fry, sauté, grill, roast, bake, braise and broil - both indoors or out. Cast iron will tolerate any heat source (except microwaves) and is therefore suitable for induction, ceramic, electric and gas cooktops. It will perform effortlessly in the oven, on the stove, in the grill and even on barbecues/campfires. The material is also brutally durable to the point of being almost indestructible. In fact, amazingly, some of the very first skillets, griddles and Dutch ovens, produced more than 100 years ago, are still being used in kitchens today! Why Lodge Cast Iron? Every shipment of iron that arrives at Lodge’s foundry passes through a stringent radiation detector. This ensures that no contaminants are able to enter the manufacturing process. Although standard procedure at Lodge, many other factories around the world do not follow this protocol and actually encourage the addition of secondary materials to the iron so that production quantity is maximised. Lodge’s privately-held metal formula and precision moulding systems are the result of the company’s continued dedication to improving quality - a process that began with the very first skillet that was ever made. Not even the most expensive stainless steel or aluminium cookware comes close to rivalling the heat distribution/retention, versatility, durability and value of Lodge cast iron. Its cooking performance ensures that it is an essential tool for both professional chefs and discerning home cooks. Seasoning - a Natural Coating that Improves with Use In 2002 Lodge introduced pre-seasoned cookware, known as the Lodge Logic range, into their ever-evolving assortment. This eliminated the requirement for seasoning prior to initial usage and ensured that Lodge cookware was ready to use as soon as it was removed from its packaging. At the time this was an industry first. It has since become standard practice. The Lodge seasoning procedure is a multiple-step process in which vegetable oil is applied via an electrostatic spray system that coats the cookware. It is then baked into the iron in commercial ovens at temperatures of 600 degrees Fahrenheit (315 degrees Celsius). This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron and provides the easy-release properties that are equivalent to a natural non-stick surface. Crucially, this process eliminates the health concerns that are associated with chemical non-stick coatings. The foundry-based seasoning process is far superior to what can be achieved at home. The oil is more advanced, the spray system coats the cookware more uniformly and the oven temperature is substantially hotter. Independent tests have confirmed that it takes several years of regular home seasoning to equal the performance of that attained at the factory. That said, in addition to the pre-seasoning that occurs during production of Lodge’s cast iron cookware, the natural non-stick surface can actually be enhanced and repaired (if necessary) once it has been used. This capability, which isn’t evident in chemical-based coatings, means that Lodge products can be used on a regular basis for 100 years or more! The Lodge ‘Bubble’ Lodge cookware is hanging as it passes through the electrostatic sprayer and conveyer oven. As a result of this, a ‘bubble’ or ‘blister’ of oil may form at the southern-most point of the product and be initially visible when unpackaged for use. The ‘bubble/blister’ can be rubbed-off and will leave a brown spot directly underneath it. This is not rust - it is a seasoned spot that is indicative of the varnishing stage of the coating process. It will turn black with usage, as does home-seasoned iron when employed repeatedly. It is not the intention of Lodge to produce cookware that appears as if a non-stick coating has been applied to it. The black patina given to the products by the seasoning process is not paint, is not a synthetic polymer coating, nor is it enamel - all of which modify the valuable characteristics of cast iron. It is, in fact, vegetable oil that has been baked into the cookware. This is a functional application; it isn’t a cosmetic one. Care and Use Instructions - Follow these to Ensure that Your Lodge Cast Iron Lasts a Lifetime! Care 1) Hand wash and dry immediately - even before the very first use. 2) Allow your cookware to cool naturally prior to cleaning (plunging hot cast iron into water may cause damage). 3) Rub a small amount of vegetable oil into the product after every wash. Use just enough to restore the sheen, without it becoming ‘sticky’. This reinforces the natural seasoning and protects the cast iron from moisture (which can lead to rusting). Use 1) It is safe to use metal, wood or silicone utensils with your cookware. 2) Some foods (especially eggs) may stick to some degree during initial usage. It is advisable to employ extra oil or butter until the seasoning has built-up. 3) Acidic foods such as tomatoes, beans and certain sauces can damage the seasoning and should be avoided until the natural non-stick layer has matured. 4) Cast iron rarely needs to be placed on an above-medium heat setting if adequately pre-heated. On occasions when a higher cooking temperature is required, elevate the heat gradually and apply oil just prior to adding the food in order to prevent sticking. 5) Holders/mitts are essential when using the handles. Protect countertops with trivets. Cleaning - to Soap or not to Soap? Lodge cookware reaches 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) in 4 minutes on a medium heat setting and is sterile at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), so soap is often not necessary. However, if using it is preferred, wash with mild soapy water and dry immediately before adding oil. Dishwashers, strong detergents and metal scouring pads will remove seasoning, so are not recommended. How to Reverse Rusting Without protective seasoning, iron can rust. If this does occur, it can be easily fixed by scouring the rust, rinsing and drying the cookware, and then applying a small quantity of vegetable oil. If significant rusting is apparent then the cookware may need to be re-seasoned. Visit www.lodgemfg.com for specific directions.

Review: I would describe this piece of cookware as monumental. It is old fashioned cast iron - made in USA. It will last indefinitely and will probably still be in use by my great grandchildren some day. This is a very large, deep pan perfect for frying, baking, and roasting. As a bonus, the lid fits the Lodge regular frying pan in that size.
Review: This deep cast iron skillet is perfect for frying. It's deep enough to allow you to fry larger quantities of chicken, etc. It is a quality skillet and a good value. Be aware, though, it is VERY heavy. The lid is a nice additon.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Despite using oil and the pan being already seasoned, steak sticks to the pan. Is this normal for the first time or do I need to return my pan?**
A: It is common for new cast iron (even pre-seasoned) to have sticking issues. Just use a little more oil and butter when cooking your steaks and it will slowly build up more of a tolerance over time. Also, make sure the pan is hot before putting oil in, and especially any steaks. I have a glass top electric stove so I let the pan heat up for about 15 minutes before adding oil and butter. It starts at about 625 degrees, but after adding oil and butter, it cools to about 450. Then I add the steak after the butter melts, and I don't have any sticking issues at all. I use very coarse sea salt and oil to clean the pan, and then flax seed oil to re-season after. I turn the burner on high and let the pan sit there until it starts smoking and then turn off the burner and let it cool for a few hours (or even overnight) before putting it back in the cabinet. Hope this helps.

**Q: Has anyone used this for camping? What was your experience with it?**
A: I use it when we car/tent camped.  Can do a lot with this combo.  I use it to fry and bake (as a dutch oven)   I even used it as a bean pot to make baked beans.  At night, put it in a hole with the coals and cover it with dirt....by morning the beans are ready...  It is now my RV prime cooking utensil.  I bought mine almost 5 years ago (2016) and its still going strong

**Q: How much does it weigh with the lid and with out it?**
A: The skillet is 8-9lbs pot about 13. Together they're like, about 20 or so. They don't feel that heavy though, & amazon price is LESS then 1/2 what you'd pay for 1 pot on website..plus they're handy for whackin stuff! ;)

**Q: why is this so much cheaper here than on the Lodge site? 62.00 on their site compared to here**
A: Don't know, but the price is comparable to what we saw at the Lodge outlet store.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***F on 24 September 2024*

Your protein intake should be sufficient enough to be able to even lift this skillet (or even just the lid). It's heavy as you'd expect it to be. Extremely well made and looking forward to spend the rest of my kitchen life with it!
