Lodge Cast Iron 

Seasoning your skillet!

Use and Care:

While the pan comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After cooking, we recommend cleaning with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap or the dishwasher is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used. Towel dry immediately cleaning and apply a light coating of oil to utensil while it is still warm.

• Seasoned with oil for a natural, easy-release finish that improves with use
• Easy care: hand wash, dry, rub with cooking oil
• The right tool to sear, bake, broil, braise, fry or grill
• At home in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or over the campfire
• Great for induction cooktops
• Brutally tough for decades of cooking

Restore Cast Iron:

While maintaining the seasoning should keep your Cast Iron and Carbon Steel in good condition, at some point you may need to re-season your cookware. If food sticks to the surface, or you notice a dull, gray color or if rust appears, follow the seasoning process below.
