For over a century, the American-based company Lodge has been meticulously refining its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware. Now, the company has introduced a new line of seasoned steel skillets. This convenient 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 both very low and very high temperatures, making it a highly effective and versatile cooking tool. It performs exceptionally well in both residential and professional kitchens, as well as in outdoor settings. Crafted from 12-gauge carbon steel, this material is a high-density metal that does not retain odors. With proper care, it will last a lifetime.

The thickness of the cooking surface allows the pan to heat up quickly, while also retaining the heat needed for even cooking. The handle angle is designed for both stovetop and oven use, and each handle is securely attached to the skillet with three rivets.

As a result of the pre-seasoning process, you may notice a small blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle. This is a normal occurrence, as the cookware is hung and passes through high-temperature electrostatic sprayers and commercial conveyor ovens, allowing the oil to deeply penetrate the pores of the cookware, creating an easy-release finish. If visible, this oil can be rubbed or flaked off with your finger, leaving a brown spot – not rust, but rather a seasoned spot indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning, which will turn black with use.

Made in the USA, this Lodge Carbon Steel Skillet is approximately 12 inches in diameter, rim to rim, with a 9.875-inch bottom. It is your go-to carbon steel pan, capable of handling the heat from any kitchen. 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, transforming ordinary cooking into a delightful experience.

Seasoning is the process of baking oil into the iron, giving it a natural, easy-release finish and helping prevent the pan from rusting. Lodge pre-seasons all carbon steel cookware with 100% natural vegetable oil, with no synthetic coatings or chemicals. The more you use your Lodge cookware, the better the seasoning will become.

Cleaning your carbon steel pan is easy – simply hand wash with warm, soapy water and a nylon scrub brush, dry it completely, and rub it with a thin layer of oil. The carbon steel interior has a smooth finish, making it ideal for sautéing vegetables, preparing fish, and more. With its unparalleled heat retention, this skillet provides edge-to-edge even cooking every time, making it a versatile choice for a variety of cooking methods, from flash frying to sautéing.
