This cast iron skillet is perfect for fried chicken, roasted meats and veggies, pan-grilled steaks and more. Whether you’re baking skillet cornbread over an open fire or pan-frying a batch of chicken wings for the game, you’ll love the way this does-it-all pan performs. Lodge cast iron cookware is pre-seasoned at the foundry and is ready to cook right out of the box. 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.
