Lodge Original Cast Iron Skillet

Lodge, America’s oldest cast iron manufacturer, is recognised around the world for its reliable, virtually indestructible cast iron skillets. Cast iron is prized for its ability to get extremely hot and retain that heat, resulting in gorgeously browned foods, whether that's steak, Brussels sprouts, pizza, or pies. It can go on all hobs including induction, in ovens, and on the barbecue. Over time, cast iron builds a top layer, or ‘patina’, that makes it more stick-resistant – and a great, lifetime-lasting alternative to non-stick pans. (This requires a little extra care; read all about how to care for cast iron pans here.) This skillet is Lodge's original and most popular model. It has almost vertical sides, two spouts, and for sizes 26cm and above, a helper handle, because cast iron is heavy (another reason they’re indestructible). It arrives pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so you can start cooking right away. The diameter refers to the rim of the pan, not the base. 

Note: Because Lodge pans are made using a traditional sand-moulding technique and undergo pre-seasoning before reaching you, there may be minor cosmetic imperfections such as pinholes or smudges on the surface. These are considered normal and do not affect the performance of the pans.
