The Lodge 10.25-inch pre-seasoned cast iron skillet is a ready-to-use, PFAS-free heavy-duty pan built for even heating, searing, baking, and long-term durability.

Built by Lodge in the USA, this 10.25" skillet arrives pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil so you can cook immediately without additional prep. Cast iron is prized for holding and distributing heat evenly, making it useful across stovetops, ovens, grills, and campfires. Designed as a versatile everyday skillet, it pairs a traditional teardrop handle and helper handle with two pouring spouts for practical use and easy cleanup.

How does this skillet perform on high-heat searing and oven baking?

The skillet excels at high-heat tasks thanks to cast iron's superior heat retention and even distribution. It holds temperature for a consistent sear and stays steady when moved from stovetop to oven for finishing or baking.

• Excellent heat retention for steady searing of meats.
• Oven-safe construction for roasting, finishing, and baking.
• Works on gas, electric, induction with appropriate care, and over open flame.

What makes the pre-seasoned finish useful for everyday cooking?

The factory-applied vegetable oil seasoning provides a natural, non-stick surface that improves with use. This finish reduces sticking for eggs and pancakes and builds a resilient cooking surface as you cook and maintain it.

• Ready to use straight from the box—no initial seasoning required.
• Seasoning improves over time with regular oiling and cooking.
• Low-maintenance cleaning: scrub with hot water and a stiff brush, then dry thoroughly.

How should I care for and maintain the skillet to last generations?

Simple maintenance keeps cast iron performing for decades: avoid prolonged soaking, dry immediately after washing, and occasionally rub a thin layer of vegetable oil on the surface. Proper care protects the seasoning and prevents rust.

• Clean with hot water and a stiff brush; avoid soap for routine washes.
• Dry immediately and apply a light coat of oil while warm to protect the surface.
• Re-season with oil and heat if needed to restore non-stick properties.

Is this skillet convenient to use and move around the kitchen?

The 10.25" size hits a balance between capacity and handling, suitable for breakfasts, weeknight meals, and one-pan dinners. The teardrop handle plus helper grip gives secure control when lifting or transferring the hot pan.

• 10.25-inch diameter and 2-inch depth for versatile portions.
• Primary teardrop handle for comfortable grip and hanging storage.
• Helper handle and two side spouts for safer pouring and lifting.
