Wanderlust Lodge Cast Iron High and Low Skillet Set

Look closely, because the Wanderlust Lodge cast iron deep skillet and shallow skillet set is much more than just a set of two 26 cm cast iron skillets. With this Set you will have a tall casserole with lid, a deep frying pan, and a traditional frying pan from the collection, three pieces in a single Set with which you can cook all kinds of recipes, whether in the kitchen, in the oven, or on the barbecue. From stews, soups, or casseroles to fried or sauteed dishes, roasts, or healthy and natural cooking, on the griddle and with little oil, or tarts, breads, quiches, pies, or sponge cakes, you can do it all!

The Set of high-sided and low-sided 26 cm frying pans is part of the Wanderlust collection by Lodge. This collection celebrates adventure and the tradition of outdoor cooking. Its pieces feature engravings inspired by mountain landscapes, camping scenes, or country houses evoking nature, travel, and the good times shared around the fire.

The cast-iron construction of the two 26 cm skillets gives them excellent heat retention that is distributed evenly. The height of the deep skillet gives it a generous 3-liter capacity, ideal for cooking your best slow-cooked stews for the whole week or the whole family. The low skillet also works as a perfect lid to retain the steam inside and save time while cooking. Plus, you'll have a fantastic skillet for cooking on the griddle, in a natural way and without nonstick coatings, for meat, fish, or vegetables alike, with fantastic results.

IMPORTANT! As you may have guessed after seeing the manufacturing process, the skillets are NOT perfect: they have small imperfections that are very common, usually linked to some irregularity in the cast iron. This is normal and nothing to worry about (if there is not one small imperfection, there will be another). It is part of their process and charm, and you can rest completely assured because what matters is that the seasoning has been done over the entire skillet.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Lodge cast iron pieces are heavy, and they are not dishwasher safe. What’s great about them (besides being incredible, natural skillets) is that they already come pre-seasoned from the factory, so you can start using them as soon as they arrive at your home (no pre-seasoning required). But remember: they are made of cast iron, but not vitrified, so right after washing them they must be dried, or rust will appear. If rust does appear, simply scrub it with a scouring pad to restore it. If you want, you can season it from time to time... Although you’re doing that with every use! Use it daily, dry it right away, and you’ll have a skillet for life (and incredibly tasty recipes with natural flavors!).

What sets the Lodge cast iron deep skillet and shallow skillet set apart

• Its robust construction. The two Lodge skillets are made of cast iron, with no kind of nonstick coating or toxic elements. This sturdiness lets you use any utensil when cooking with them, including stainless steel ones.
• Its ease of handling. Even though they are sturdy skillets, their design is made to be comfortable and easy to handle. Both feature an ergonomic handle and a helper handle, so you can hold them securely.
• The functionality of both pieces. The two frying pans in the game make up a wonderful 3-in-1 Set. You can use them together and have a casserole with a lid for cooking slow-cooked recipes, or roasts in the oven or on the barbecue. Separately, you have two frying pans of different depths to cook whatever you need: from dishes with sauce or fried foods in the deep frying pan, to griddle foods, omelets, or stir-fries in the shallow frying pan. Both pieces also make excellent baking molds for all kinds of dishes and doughs.
• Their durability. Being made entirely of cast iron, they are pieces that last far beyond a lifetime.
• Their excellent balance of quality, durability, and price. They are affordable pieces with exceptional durability and unquestionable quality.
• Its rough finish. Lodge makes the cookware in a single piece and in unique sand molds; this gives them their characteristic slightly rough finish on both the inside and outside surfaces and makes each piece unique and one of a kind. With use, a patina forms that will eventually create a smooth, naturally nonstick surface.
• Its factory seasoning or curing. All Lodge cast iron pieces are seasoned in the factory so that when you receive them at home they are ready to use. The seasoning of cast iron, called polymerization, consists of applying a layer of vegetable oil to the piece and heating it in the oven at a temperature high enough for the oil to bond to the iron. This process gives Lodge cookware its classic black patina, creating a naturally nonstick cooking surface, which is also a protective layer that helps prevent the cookware from rusting.
• Its excellent nonstick properties. Lodge pieces offer natural nonstick performance, allowing you to cook with almost no oil. In addition, the more they are used, the more nonstick they become.
• Its great heat retention and even heat distribution. Being made of iron, it retains heat exceptionally well for longer, and distributes it evenly. Thanks to the high temperatures iron reaches, it allows you to sear food in its own juices, preserving all its flavor. The result is much more flavorful, with the timeless taste of the classics.
• Its versatility. Lodge pieces are suitable for all types of stoves and heat sources. You can cook with them on gas, ceramic, electric, induction, wood-burning stoves, barbecue, and also in the oven.
• The more than 125 years of Lodge experience making cast iron pieces. Manufacturers since 1896, Lodge is an iconic brand not only in the USA, its country of origin, where they still make all their cast iron products, at the Lodge foundries in South Pittsburg, Tennessee.

You can use both pieces together or separately. To cook with them, simply let them heat up gradually so the heat is distributed evenly throughout the piece, and start cooking when they are very hot. To clean them, let them cool first; wash them with a non-abrasive sponge and detergent, and lightly oil the interior surface to prevent rust. For best care, it is recommended to always store them in a dry place.

Remember that the cookware is made of iron and manufactured in a single piece, so the handle and helper handles get hot. With the Lodge hot handle silicone protector and the Lodge silicone handle protectors for cookware, you can handle Lodge iron cookware safely and without burning yourself.

NOTE: The factory seasoning gives Lodge cast iron pieces a rustic finish with certain imperfections, such as a brown mark on the rim, the handle, or the helper handle. Don’t worry! These are small spots where the oil has not fully bonded to the iron, but you can use your piece without any problem. This is not a defect or rust and it will disappear with normal use and care.
