The Lodge melting pot is a great heat conductor for warming butter, melting cheese, scalding milk or heating syrup—and it moves with ease from the stovetop to the grill. Spouts on the sides make it easy to pour liquids from one container to the next without fear of splashing. Paired with a silicone brush that’s dishwasher safe, it’s the perfect tool for all of your basting or marinating needs. Made in the USA and pre-seasoned at the factory with oil, this pot is ready to use right away. Lodge cast iron is easy to care for and will last a lifetime.

Lodge’s award-winning foundry produces cast iron of equal quality to Grandma’s prized hand-me-downs. The cast iron is seasoned on site with soy-based vegetable oil and then baked on at a very high temperature in an industrial oven. The high heat allows the oil to penetrate deeply into surface, creating the prized patina that makes their skillets heirloom-quality pieces you’ll treasure.
