Lodge cast iron multifunction casserole with grill lid set

If you love cooking with cast iron and love grill marks on your meat, with the Lodge cast iron combo cooker set with multi-function grill lid you'll have it all. This versatile two-piece set consists of a 29 cm tall cocotte-style pot with a capacity of 5.7 l and a 26 cm grill lid with handles which, as well as covering the pot, can also be used as a grill pan, thanks to its ridged inner surface. A 2-piece set you can use together or separately, extremely functional, that lets you cook all kinds of recipes and enjoy the results.  

The cast iron construction of the pieces ensures excellent heat retention and even heat distribution, so you'll have an ideal cocotte, casserole or Dutch oven for stewing, braising or slow-roasting at low temperature, on the hob, in the oven, on the barbecue or over a campfire. The lid is the perfect complement for keeping the moisture and heat inside the stew while you cook with the pot, and just by turning it over you'll have a great grill pan, ideal for cooking and grilling meat with those grill marks you love so much, or for toasting bread to perfection.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Lodge iron pieces are heavy and are not dishwasher-safe. The good news (apart from being incredible, natural pieces) is that they come pre-seasoned from the factory, so you can start using them as soon as they arrive (no prior seasoning needed). But remember: they are cast iron, but not enamelled, so they must be dried straight after washing or they will rust. If rust appears, simply rub it with a scouring pad to restore it. If you like, you can season it from time to time... Although you're doing so every time you use it! Use it daily, dry it straight away, and you'll have a pan for life (and incredibly tasty recipes with natural flavours!).

What makes the Lodge cast iron combo cooker set with multi-function grill lid special

• Its sturdy construction. Like the traditional Dutch oven, Lodge pots with lids are made of cast iron, with no non-stick coating or toxic elements. This sturdiness lets you use any utensil when cooking with them, even stainless steel ones.
• Its ease of handling. Although they are sturdy pieces, they are designed to be handled comfortably and easily. The handles on the lid and pot are wide, for a comfortable, secure grip. 
• The functionality of its cast iron grill lid. Thanks to its weight, the lid helps keep the steam and cooking temperature inside the pot, making gentle cooking easier with juicy, tender results. And just by turning it over, its ridged design turns it into a wonderful grill pan, perfect for marking, searing and grilling food, with all the flavour of the grill and great results.
• Its durability. As they are made entirely of cast iron, these pieces will far outlast a lifetime.
• Its excellent balance of quality, durability and price. They are affordable pieces with exceptional durability and unquestionable quality.
• Its textured finish. Lodge makes its pots in a single piece using unique sand moulds; this gives them their characteristic slightly textured finish on both the inside and outside surfaces, and makes each piece unique. With use, a patina forms that will eventually create a smooth, naturally non-stick surface. 
• Its factory seasoning. All Lodge cast iron pieces are seasoned at the factory, so that they are ready to use when they arrive. Seasoning cast iron, a process called polymerisation, consists of applying a layer of vegetable oil to the piece and heating it in the oven to a temperature high enough for the oil to bond to the iron. This process gives Lodge cookware its classic black patina, creating a naturally non-stick cooking surface, which is also a protective layer that helps prevent the cookware from rusting.
• Its excellent non-stick properties. Lodge pieces offer a natural non-stick surface that even lets you cook with almost no oil. What's more, the more you use them, the more non-stick they become.
• Its great heat retention and even heat distribution. Being made of iron, it retains heat excellently for longer and spreads it evenly. Thanks to the high temperatures iron reaches, it seals food in its own juices, keeping all its flavour. The result is much tastier, just like traditional flavours. 
• Its versatility. Lodge pieces are suitable for all types of hobs and heat sources. You can cook with them on gas, ceramic, electric and induction hobs, wood-burning stoves, barbecues and in the oven.
• The over 125 years of Lodge experience in making cast iron pieces. Manufacturing since 1896, Lodge is an iconic brand in the USA, its country of origin, where it still makes all its cast iron products at the Lodge foundries in South Pittsburg, Tennessee.

You can use both pieces together or separately. To cook with them, just let them heat up gradually so the heat spreads evenly across the whole 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 inside surface to prevent rust. For optimal care, always store them in a dry place.

Remember that the pot and multi-function grill lid are made of iron in a single piece, so the handles get hot. With the Lodge silicone pot handle holders, you can handle the pot and lid of the set safely without burning yourself. 

NOTE: Factory seasoning gives Lodge cast iron pieces a rustic finish with certain imperfections, such as the odd brown mark on the rim, handle or grip. Don't worry! They are small spots where the oil has not bonded to the iron, but you can use your piece without any problem. It is not a defect or rust and disappears with normal use and care.
