About the Yellowstone Lodge collection

In partnership with the hit series Yellowstone™from Paramount Network, Lodge has created a special limited-edition collection of cast iron cookware, made in the USA and built for adventure. Inspired by the spectacular landscapes of the American West, the collection pays tribute to American courage, embodied in the fight to preserve its legacy and way of life. 

Every piece in the collection has a unique design, with engravings representing the series, such as the Y from the logo, horse-breaking scenes or the image of a wild bull. A perfect gift for fans of the series and lovers of tradition, family meals and Lodge cast iron. 

You can see all the pieces in the Lodge Yellowstone collection here. 

What makes the Yellowstone Lodge 26 cm round cast iron skillet special

• Sturdy construction. The skillet is made of cast iron, with no non-stick coating of any kind, no PFOA and no toxic substances. This toughness means you can use any utensil when cooking with it, even stainless steel ones.
• Easy handling. Although it is a sturdy pan, it is designed to be easy to handle. Its short, ergonomic handlemakes it easy to handle and is perfect both for fitting it in the oven, however large it is, and for saving storage space. 
  
• Durability. The pan is made entirely in one single piece of cast iron, so it will last far longer than a lifetime.
• Excellent balance of quality, durability and price. Affordable pieces with exceptional durability and unquestionable quality.
• Rough finish. Lodge makes all its pans in a single piece using one-off sand moulds; this gives them their characteristic, slightly rough finish inside and out and makes every piece unique. With use, a patina forms that eventually creates a smooth, naturally non-stick surface. 
• Factory seasoning. All Lodge cast iron pieces are seasoned at the factory, so that they are ready to use as soon as they arrive at your home. Seasoning cast iron, a process called polymerisation, involves 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 with 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.
• Excellent non-stick properties. Lodge pieces are naturally non-stick, so you can even cook with almost no oil. And the more you use them, the more non-stick they become.
  
• Excellent heat retention and even heat distribution. Being iron, it retains heat brilliantly for longer and distributes it evenly. The high temperatures that iron reaches let you sear food in its own juices, keeping all its flavour. The result is far tastier, just like the flavours of old. 
• Versatility. Lodge pieces are suitable for all types of hob and heat source. You can cook with it on gas, ceramic, electric and induction hobs, on a wood stove, on the barbecue and in the oven.
• Pouring spouts. The traditional skillet design has two pouring spouts on the sides that make it easy to pour food, especially when cooking dishes with sauce, such as pasta, or soupier stews such as pulses or braises. 
• Over 125 years of Lodge experience in making cast iron. Making cast iron since 1896, Lodge is an iconic brand not only in the USA, its home country, where it still makes all its cast iron products at the Lodge foundries in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. 

When you want to use it, just let it heat up gradually so the heat spreads evenly through the whole piece, and start cooking once it is very hot. To clean it, let it cool first; wash it with a non-abrasive sponge and detergent and lightly oil the inside surface to prevent rust. For best care, always store it in a dry place.

Remember that the pan is made of iron in a single piece, so both the handle and the helper handle get hot. With the silicone hot handle holder by Lodge and the silicone assist handle holders for Lodge cookware, you can handle it safely without burning yourself. 

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