Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Skillet - 12 Inch

For more than a century, the American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware. Now, the company has added a new line of seasoned steel skillets to its offerings. This handy 10-inch seasoned steel skillet is the only pre-seasoned and ready-to-use steel pan on the market right now. 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 that performs well in residential and professional kitchens, as well as outdoors.

Made of 12-gauge carbon steel, a high-density metal that does not retain odors, this skillet is designed to last a lifetime if maintained correctly. 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, a blister or bubble of oil may be visible at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. This is because the cookware is hung as it rides through the electrostatic sprayer and commercial conveyer ovens at very high temperatures, allowing the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the cookware, creating an easy-release finish. If visible, this can be rubbed or flaked off with your finger, leaving a brown spot, which is not rust but a seasoned spot that will turn black with use.

Made in the USA, the Lodge Carbon Steel Skillet can handle 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.

The carbon steel interior has a smoother finish that makes this pan ideal for sautéing vegetables, preparing fish, and more. To clean the pan, 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 carbon steel cookware is fast to heat up and cool down, making it ideal for cooking delicate foods such as flash frying and sautéing.

As a family-owned business founded in 1896, Lodge is committed to environmental responsibility and community development, with its heads and hearts rooted in America. All Lodge products are made in the USA with non-toxic, PFOA & PTFE-free materials.
