8" Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

Common Questions (4)

• Is the Lodge skillet surface rough, and does it get smoother with use?

  The factory surface can feel very rough because of the casting sand, so it is worth feeling one in-store if possible. With regular use and seasoning over a year or two, it can smooth out and become more nonstick.

• How do you season and care for the Lodge 8-inch cast iron skillet before first use?

  Season it in the oven at 500°F a few times before cooking, then keep using and seasoning it normally. Care and maintenance are described as not bad aside from the weight, and a silicone handle or oven mitts can help with handling.

• Should you buy the Lodge silicone handle for this skillet?

  No. The silicone handle is reported to slip off even when dry and can become oily during cooking, so oven mitts are the safer option.
