This Lodge Cast Iron Multi-Purpose Casserole Set with Lid is a two-piece cast iron set with great versatility. This set consists of a 26cm, 4.7L capacity tall cocotte style casserole and a 26cm lid with handles that can be used as a frying pan, a shallow casserole, a griddle and a baking dish . A 2-piece set with all the functionality of a cookware set, with which you can cook any recipe.
The cast iron construction of the pieces ensures excellent temperature retention and even heat distribution , so you have a Dutch oven ideal for stewing, braising or roasting at low heat, on the stovetop, in the oven, on the barbecue or on the campfire. The lid is perfect for keeping the pot moist and warm, and with just a flip you have a great skillet for meat or sautéing vegetables, a shallow casserole for cooking or a wonderful pan for baking a loaf of bread.
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 Lodge Cast Iron Multi-Function Saucepan Set apart?
-
Its robust construction . Like the traditional Dutch oven , Lodge saucepans with lids are made of cast iron , without any non-stick coating or toxic elements. This sturdiness allows you to use any utensil when cooking with them, even stainless steel ones.
-
Handling . Even though they are robust pieces, their design is conceived so that they can be handled comfortably and easily. The handles on the lid and the pot are wide, for a comfortable and secure hold.
-
The functionality of its cast iron lid . Thanks to its weight, the lid helps to maintain the steam and cooking temperature inside the pan, facilitating cooking over low heat with juicy and tender results. And by simply turning it over, its design makes it a very versatile piece, which you can use as a frying pan, a griddle, a low casserole dish or a mould.
-
Their durability . Being made entirely of cast iron, they are pieces that last 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 its pans in a single piece and in unique sand moulds; 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 which 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, 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 them on gas, ceramic, electric, induction, wood-burning stoves, barbecues and also in the oven.
- 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.
You can use both pieces together or separately. To cook with them, just let them heat up gradually, so that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the piece, and start cooking when they are very hot. To clean them, let them cool down first; wash them with a sponge and non-abrasive detergent and lightly oil the inside surface to prevent rust. For optimal preservation, it is recommended to always store them in a dry place.
Please note that the saucepan and multi-purpose lid are made of cast iron and are made in one piece, so the handles get hot. With the Lodge Silicone Saucepan Handle Protectors , you can handle the saucepan and lid 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.
