The Lodge 12-inch skillet is a pre-seasoned cast iron pan with a 2-inch depth and a helper handle opposite the main handle. Cast iron holds heat far better than thin aluminum or stainless skillets, so it sears and browns well and moves from stovetop to oven, grill or campfire. It is heavier and slower to heat than those rivals, and the factory seasoning is a starting point rather than a permanent nonstick surface. Owners treat it as a long-lived workhorse; reviewers say the weight and hand washing are the price of that durability.

Owners rate the Lodge 12-inch highly for even browning, durability and value against pricier cast iron. The common complaints are its weight and the care routine, plus a factory seasoning that some find rough until it builds up.
The Lodge 12-inch cast iron skillet is pre-seasoned and ready to use. It retains heat well and distributes it evenly. It can be used on the stovetop, in the oven, on the grill or over a campfire.
The skillet is made in the USA from cast iron. It is seasoned with soy-based vegetable oil for natural nonstick performance. It has an assist handle for a secure grip.
To care for it, let the skillet cool, then handwash with warm water and a scrub brush. A little mild soap is fine if needed. For stuck-on food, simmer water for a few minutes and use a scraper. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing.
