Is it really pre-seasoned?

Yes. Lodge seasons it at the factory with oil, so it can be used right away. Adding a thin coat of oil after washing keeps it in good shape.

Will it work on a glass-top or induction stove?

Yes. The flat iron base works on gas, electric, glass-top and induction cooktops, and the pan is oven-safe and grill-safe.

Wash by hand with warm water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly, then rub on a light coat of cooking oil. Skip the dishwasher and long soaks.

Can I cook acidic foods like tomatoes in it?

Occasionally is fine, but long simmers of tomato, wine or vinegar can strip the seasoning. Re-oil the pan afterward.

How does it compare with a standard round Lodge skillet?

The cooking surface and iron are the same as the round 12-inch Lodge; the Texas shape and second assist handle are the differences.

One 12-inch seasoned cast iron skillet. No lid or other accessories are included.

Our take on the Lodge 12" Texas Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

A 12-inch cast iron skillet from Lodge, made in the US from iron and oil with a Texas-shaped outline and a second assist handle opposite the main one. It is pre-seasoned, so it can go straight to the stove, oven, grill or campfire, and it works on gas, electric, glass-top and induction. The thick iron holds heat well and sears hard, but it is heavy and needs hand washing and occasional re-oiling. Against lighter carbon steel or nonstick pans it trades convenience for durability and heat capacity.
