- Is the Blacklock skillet better than a standard Lodge skillet?
- It is lighter and has a smoother cooking surface, and this version adds a cast iron lid. A standard Lodge costs less and is heavier with a rougher surface, but both are durable cast iron.
- Can the lid go in the oven?
- Yes. The lid is cast iron and oven safe, so the pan can go from stovetop searing to oven braising. Use a glove, since the lid knob gets hot.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so the skillet works on induction, gas and electric cooktops, and over a campfire.
- How do I keep it from rusting?
- Hand wash, dry it fully on the stove, and rub a thin layer of oil over the iron after each use. Avoid soaking or the dishwasher.
- What is in the box?
- The 10.25-inch Blacklock skillet and its matching cast iron lid. No other accessories are included.
- Is 10.25 inches big enough for a family?
- It fits two to three steaks or a whole chicken cut up, and the lid adds room for braises. For larger batches, a bigger skillet or a Dutch oven works better.
- Where is the Lodge Blacklock Triple Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet 10.25-inch with Lid cheapest?
- At Ace Hardware, for $59.99, as of our latest check.
