Overview
Lodge's 12 inch pre-seasoned cast iron skillet, sold ready to cook with a factory seasoned surface and a teardrop handle. Made in the USA and built to work on a stovetop, in the oven, on a grill, or over a campfire.
What sets it apart in a crowded category is that it arrives pre-seasoned and already releases eggs without sticking straight out of the box, rather than needing a first seasoning pass at home. It is genuinely multi surface, induction included, which matters if a kitchen already leans on one cast iron pan for everything.
- 12 inch pre-seasoned cooking surface
- Teardrop handle for grip
- Oven, stovetop, grill, and campfire safe
- Made in the USA
Who it's for
Cooks who want one skillet that moves from stovetop to oven to campfire and don't mind toweling it dry and adding a little oil after washing. Less suited to anyone who wants a zero maintenance pan they can leave wet in the sink.
Pros and cons
- Even heat retention for searing and browning
- Works on stovetop, oven, grill, and induction
- Improves with use once seasoned properly
- Durable, USA made construction
- Heavy, especially when full
- Needs hand care rather than soap and dishwasher
- Some learning curve on seasoning technique
Performance notes
It is heavy for its size, which is part of what gives it the heat retention but also means it needs a solid grip when full and out of the sink.
