- Is the Lodge 5-inch skillet pre-seasoned?
- Yes. Lodge seasons it at the factory with vegetable oil, so it can be used right away. Wash, dry and rub in a little oil after each use to keep the seasoning.
- What can I cook in a 5-inch skillet?
- One or two eggs, a single steak or chop, melted butter, a small cornbread or a personal dessert. It is a single-serving pan, not a family skillet.
- Can it go in the oven or on a grill?
- Yes. Cast iron is oven safe, broiler safe and works on grills and campfires. Use a mitt, since the whole pan, handle included, gets hot.
- How do I clean and care for it?
- Hand wash with hot water and a stiff brush, dry it fully on the stove, then rub in a thin layer of oil. Skip the dishwasher and long soaks.
- How does it compare with a 10-inch Lodge skillet?
- The 10-inch holds several eggs or two steaks and is the better all-purpose pan. The 5-inch is lighter and easier to handle for single servings and small sides.
- Does it come with a lid?
- No. This skillet ships without a lid. A small universal lid or foil can cover it when you need to trap steam.

- At At Home, for $9.99, as of our latest check.
