This is Lodge's 10.25-inch cast iron skillet with two loop handles and two pour lips, built for oven, stovetop and campfire cooking. It comes pre-seasoned, so it is ready to cook on straight out of the box. The dual handles make a heavy pan easier to lift, especially with oven mitts, and the pour lips help when tipping off fat or pan sauce. It suits anyone who wants one pan for searing, baking and slow cooking, and it holds heat far longer than thin steel or aluminum pans.

Owners rate it highly and treat it as a lifelong kitchen workhorse. They praise the even heating, the pre-seasoning and the two handles. Most complaints are about weight and the care cast iron needs.
The Lodge 10.25-inch Dual Handle Pan is a cast iron pan for slow-cooking and everyday recipes. It can be used to fry fish, roast a chicken, or bake an apple crisp. Two handles make it easier to lift, and two side lips help with pouring.
Cast iron can be used over a campfire, on a stovetop, or in an oven. It slow-cooks food without scorching and retains heat well, so it can sear meat at higher temperatures and keep meals warm for a long time. The pan distributes heat evenly from the bottom through the sidewalls.
The pan has a black finish and a nearly nonstick surface, and it avoids the fumes that can come from preheating chemically treated nonstick cookware. Cast iron also adds a source of dietary iron. Lodge has been refining its cast iron cookware for more than a century.
