Types of Lodge products
Lodge cast iron skillets
The Lodge cast iron skillets are a classic in American kitchens and are crossing borders: strong sealing capacity, even heat, and absolute durability. Their non-stick quality improves with use and the natural seasoning. Perfect for meats, vegetables, eggs, and breads.
The best-selling skillet we encourage you to discover is the 26 cm Lodge skillet, one of the most versatile for everyday use. Or if you like special pieces, the Chef skillet is just like the traditional one but with a slightly more special handle, ideal for comfortable handling.
If what you want is a mini skillet, perfect for pancakes or fried eggs, then yours is the 16cm round skillet, or another top seller for being truly special: the Lodge square cast iron skillet.
Lodge saucepans
The Lodge saucepans and the Lodge cast iron casseroles are ideal for stews, soups, breads, and slow cooking. Their great heat retention allows for even cooking with delicious results. The Lodge Dutch Oven is a must-have for traditional recipes and homemade bread.
Lodge grills and griddles
It is well known that if you want to enjoy a good barbecue you should use an iron grill. Lodge grills, made of seasoned cast iron, let you enjoy a barbecue-style finish at home. Thanks to the high temperature retained by cast iron, you'll get intense searing and perfect grill marks on meat, vegetables, and fish. The square grill griddle is without a doubt the best-selling Lodge grill, while the reversible grill/griddle Lodge is one of the most valued for its versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are several aspects to consider when cooking with cast iron and keeping your pieces like new. We invite you to check out our Lodge Use Guide, but here are also some common questions about Lodge cast iron:
On what type of heat source can I use Lodge cast iron pans?
On induction, gas, ceramic, oven, barbecue, and open flame. They are very versatile.
Do I need to season the pan before first use?
No. They come pre-seasoned (that is, factory seasoned) and ready to cook. Still, we recommend seasoning it because it's easy to do and ensures food doesn't stick during the first uses. You'll also notice that with use and maintenance, the seasoning improves.
How do I season Lodge pans?
After cooking, clean, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of oil. Heat it gently to preserve the natural seasoning. This treatment maintains and improves the pan's natural non-stick properties.
How do I clean Lodge cast iron pans?
Wash them with warm water (you can use a minimal amount of soap), and above all, dry immediately and lightly oil them. This will prevent Lodge pans from rusting.
Are Lodge products healthy?
Yes. Cast iron is a natural material, without chemical coatings, suitable for cooking at high temperatures and made to last a lifetime. It is completely free of non-stick coatings and chemicals.
