Skillet Chef Collection Lodge Round Cast Iron Skillet

Inspired by the skillets found in professional kitchens, the Chef Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Handle has been carefully designed down to the last detail. Its French-style handle provides comfortable handling . Its gently curved, ridged walls make it perfect for cooking everything from omelets to sauces, and it's easy to stir and scrape with a spatula. And its traditional pouring spouts are a great addition to any skillet. They will help you serve without spilling.

Cast iron gives it excellent heat retention for longer , and the even temperature distribution makes it a perfect pan for efficient cooking . Its natural non-stick coating, without coatings or coatings and PFOA-free , will make it an essential piece in your kitchen.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Lodge cast iron pieces are heavy, and not dishwasher safe . The good thing about them (aside from being amazing, natural pans) is that they come pre-seasoned at the factory , so you can start using them right away when they arrive at your home (no pre-seasoning required). But remember: they are cast iron, not vitrified , so they must be dried before they are washed, or rust will form. If rust does form, just wipe it with a cloth to restore it. If you want, you can season it from time to time... but you're doing it with every use! Use it daily, dry it immediately, and you'll have a pan that will last a lifetime (and some incredibly tasty recipes with natural flavors).

What sets the Chef Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Handle apart?

• Its robust construction . The Chef iron pan is made of cast iron , without any type of non-stick coating, PFOA, 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 frying pan, its design is conceived to be easy to handle. Its ergonomic handle has a French curve and allows for comfortable and easy handling. And the larger sizes have a front handle so that it can be held with both hands, if necessary.
  
• Its curved design with no edges . This feature makes it an ideal pan for cooking omelettes or preparing sauces. It allows you to stir with the spatula without leaving any corners uncleaned.
• Its durability . The pan is made entirely of cast iron in one piece, so it will last you much longer than a lifetime.
• Its excellent relationship between quality and durability and its price . They are affordable pieces, with exceptional durability and unquestionable quality.
• Its rough finish . Lodge makes all of its pans in a single piece and in unique sand molds; this gives them their 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 end up creating 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, it allows you to seal food with its own juices, maintaining all its flavor. The result is much tastier, like the flavors of always.
• Its versatility. Logde pieces are suitable for all types of cookers and heat sources. You can cook with it on gas, ceramic, electric, induction, wood-burning stoves, barbecues and also in the oven.
• Its pouring spouts . With the traditional design of skillet pans, it integrates two pouring spouts on the sides that facilitate the pouring of food, mainly when cooking dishes with sauce, such as pasta or brothy stews, such as legumes or even casseroles.
• 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.

When you want to use it, you just have to let it heat up gradually, so that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the piece, and start cooking when it is very hot. To clean it, let it cool down first; wash it with a sponge and non-abrasive detergent and lightly oil the inside surface to prevent it from rusting. For optimal preservation, it is recommended to always store it in a dry place.

Please note that the pan is made of cast iron and is made from one piece, so both the handle and the pan handle get hot. With the Lodge Silicone Hot Handle Protector and Lodge Silicone Pan Handle Protectors , you can handle it safely and without burning yourself.

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.
