- Is this skillet preseasoned?
- Yes. Lodge seasons it at the factory, so you can cook in it after a quick rinse and dry. You still need to maintain the seasoning with oil over time.
- Can it go in the oven and under a broiler?
- Yes, it is oven safe to 550°F. That covers most baking and broiler use, but check your oven's limit before high-heat broiling.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. Cast iron is induction ready, and it also works on gas, electric coils, and over a campfire.
- How does the dual handle compare with a single-handle skillet?
- The helper handle makes lifting and pouring safer when the pan is full. The trade-off is a little more weight and a wider footprint.
- Can I put it in the dishwasher?
- No. Hand wash, dry it right away, and rub on a thin coat of oil to keep the seasoning intact.
- What size is it?
- It is a 10.25-inch skillet, a common size for two to four servings of seared meat or a batch of cornbread. No lid is included.
