Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Skillet - 12 Inch

For over a century, the American-based company Lodge has been meticulously fine-tuning the construction of its rugged, cast-iron cookware. Now, Lodge has introduced a new line of seasoned steel skillets. This handy 10-inch seasoned steel skillet is the only pre-seasoned and ready-to-use steel pan currently available on the market.

Each skillet is pre-seasoned with natural soy bean oil, allowing it to maintain very low and very high temperatures, making the pan a highly effective and versatile cooking piece. It performs well in both residential and professional kitchens, as well as outdoors. Made of 12-gauge carbon steel, this high-density metal does not retain odors and, if maintained correctly, will last a lifetime.

The thickness of the cooking surface allows the pan to heat up quickly but also retain the heat needed for even cooking. The handle angle is conducive for both stovetop and oven cooking, and each handle is attached to the skillet with 3 secure rivets. As a result of the pre-seasoning process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. This is due to the cookware being hung as it rides through the electrostatic sprayer and commercial conveyor ovens at very high temperatures, allowing the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the cookware, creating an easy-release finish. If visible, it will rub or flake off with your finger, leaving a brown spot, which is not rust but a seasoned spot indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning. The brown spot will turn black with use.

Made in the USA, this 10-inch skillet has an approximate diameter of 10 inches, rim to rim, and a 7.25-inch bottom.

The Lodge Carbon Steel Skillet is the go-to choice for your kitchen, as it can handle the heat from any cooking environment. The lightweight design, paired with a long, comfortable handle, makes it easy to use in your kitchen, over a campfire, or even on the grill. This skillet transforms ordinary cooking into a delightful experience.

The seasoning, which is simply oil baked into the iron, gives the pan a natural, easy-release finish and helps prevent it from rusting. Lodge pre-seasons all carbon steel cookware with 100% natural vegetable oil, with no synthetic coatings or chemicals. The more you use the Lodge, the better the seasoning will get.

Cleaning the carbon steel pan is easy – it's recommended to hand wash with warm, soapy water and a nylon scrub brush, dry it off completely, and then rub it with oil.

The unparalleled heat retention of these skillets provides edge-to-edge even cooking every time you use them. Carbon steel cookware heats up and cools down quickly, making it ideal for cooking delicate foods such as flash frying and sautéing.

As a family-owned business founded in 1896, Lodge is more than just a company; it's a family. From environmental responsibility to community development, their heads and hearts are rooted in America. Lodge products are made in the USA with non-toxic, PFOA & PTFE-free materials.
