What sets the Lodge Rectangular Cast Iron Baking Pan apart?

• Its robust construction . The Lodge pan is made of cast iron, without any non-stick coating or toxic elements. This robustness allows you to use any utensil when cooking with them, even stainless steel ones.
• Its handling . Even though it is a robust tray, its design is conceived so that it can be handled comfortably and easily, thanks to its two wide side edges.
  
• Its durability . Being made entirely of cast iron, it is a tray that will last you much longer than a lifetime.
• Its excellent relationship between quality and durability, and its price . It is a tray with exceptional durability and unquestionable quality.
• Lodge's 125+ years of experience in the manufacture of cast iron parts . Manufacturers since 1896, Lodge is an iconic brand not only in the USA, its country of origin and where all its cast iron products are still manufactured, in the Lodge foundries in South Pittsburgh, Tennessee.
• Its rough finish . Like all Lodge cookware, the pan is made in one piece and in a unique sand mold; this gives it its characteristic slightly rough finish on both the interior and exterior surfaces and makes each piece unique and unrepeatable. With use, a patina forms that will eventually create a smooth and naturally non-stick surface.
• Factory seasoning or curing . All Lodge cast iron pieces are factory seasoned or cured so that they are ready to use when you receive them at home . Curing cast iron, called polymerization, involves applying a coating of vegetable oil to the piece and heating it in the oven to a high enough temperature that the oil bonds to the iron. This process gives Lodge cast iron its classic black patina, creating a naturally nonstick cooking surface that is also a protective coating that helps prevent the cookware from rusting.
• Its excellent non-stick properties . Lodge pieces offer a natural non-stick coating, which allows you to cook almost without oil. Plus, the more you use them, the more non-stick they become.
• Its excellent temperature retention and uniform heat distribution . Being made of iron, it retains heat excellently for longer, and distributes it evenly. Thanks to the high temperatures that iron reaches, the result is much tastier, like the flavors of always.
• Its versatility . The tray is suitable for cooking in the oven, gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, grills, barbecues, braziers and campfires. With it you can bake everything from sweet and savoury doughs to meats, vegetables or fish and seafood, with fabulous results.
  

To clean it, always let it cool before putting it under water, wash it with a sponge and non-abrasive detergent and lightly oil the interior surface to prevent rust. For optimal preservation, it is recommended to always store it in a dry place.

NOTE: Factory seasoning gives Lodge cast iron pieces a rustic finish with some imperfections, such as a brown mark on the rim, handle or grip. Don't worry! These are small spots where the oil hasn't soaked into the iron, but your piece is safe to use. This is not a defect or rust and will disappear with regular use and care.
