- Is the 8-inch Lodge skillet pre-seasoned?
- Yes. Lodge seasons it with vegetable oil at the factory, so it can be used right away. Seasoning builds up with repeated cooking and light oiling.
- What can I cook in an 8-inch skillet?
- It fits two eggs, a small cornbread, a single steak or a side of vegetables. It is too small for family-sized batches.
- Can it go in the oven?
- Yes. The whole pan is cast iron with no plastic parts, so it is oven-safe and also works under a broiler and on a grill.
- How do I clean it?
- Wash by hand with warm water and a brush, dry it fully on the stove, then rub in a thin layer of oil. Avoid long soaking and dishwashers.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so it works on induction, gas, electric and ceramic cooktops.
- Is the 8-inch or 10-inch better?
- The 8-inch suits one or two servings and small kitchens. The 10-inch gives more surface for searing and family portions but weighs more.
- Where is the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet 8" cheapest?
- At At Home, for $17.99, as of our latest check.
