Lodge Cast Iron Frying Pan Skillet

A favourite amongst our cooks and chefs for its versatility (check out our cook school manager's Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe here), we love the way the Lodge just gets better with time. It's a lovely feeling to cook on something with no chemicals, just iron and a vegetable oil coating. Sear steaks, asparagus, etc at high temperatures, use it in the oven, under the grill without worrying about damaging a non-stick coating.

Lodge products are not mass-produced and are subject to subtle differences. The pan is hung and pre-seasoned with oil to provide protection and get you started. There will often be small spots where some oil hasn't been applied (it will look like the 'coating' is missing - it's just vegetable oil), and sometimes the odd oil bubble. (usually very small) Simply season using a little oil, and all will be well.
