Our take on the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet 5"

The Lodge 5-inch skillet is a small, single-serving cast iron pan made in the US from a single piece of iron. It is pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it can go from the box to the stove, and it works on gas, electric and induction cooktops and in the oven. The pour spouts and helper handle make it handy for frying one egg, toasting spices or baking a small cornbread. It is heavier and slower to heat than a small nonstick pan, but it holds heat far better and will outlast coated pans.

What reviewers say

Owners of the small Lodge skillet mostly praise its sturdy build, even heating for its size and the convenience of a pre-seasoned pan. Many use it for single eggs, spices or small baked goods. Complaints center on the weight, the hot handle and the upkeep cast iron requires.

Questions and answers

Is the Lodge 5-inch skillet pre-seasoned?
Yes. Lodge seasons it with vegetable oil at the factory, so you can cook in it right away. The seasoning improves with use and needs occasional re-oiling.
What can I cook in a 5-inch skillet?
It fits one egg, a small cornbread, a personal cookie or a single steak. It is also good for toasting spices and nuts.
Does it work on induction cooktops?
Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so the pan works on induction, gas and electric cooktops, and it is oven safe.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. Wash it by hand with warm water, dry it fully and rub on a thin layer of oil to keep the seasoning and prevent rust.
How does it compare with a small nonstick pan?
It is heavier and slower to heat, but it sears better, holds heat longer and has no coating to scratch or flake. A nonstick pan is lighter and easier to clean.
Does the handle get hot?
Yes. The cast handle heats up on the stove and in the oven, so use an oven mitt or a towel when lifting it.
