Why you'll love it
- YOUR NEW GO-TO PAN: Lodge cast iron cookware is the perfect kitchen tool for beginners, home cooks and chefs. Cast iron can handle any kitchen cooktop, oven, grill and open flame. Crafted in America with iron and oil, its naturally seasoned cooking surface creates an easy-release and improves with use.
- SEASONED COOKWARE: Seasoning is simply oil baked into the iron, giving it a natural, easy-release finish and helps prevent your pan from rusting. Lodge pre-seasons all cast iron cookware with 100% natural vegetable oil; no synthetic coatings or chemicals. The more you use Lodge the better the seasoning will get!
- RUST? DON’T PANIC! IT’S NOT BROKEN: When your pan arrives you may notice a spot that looks like rust. It’s simply oil that has not fully carbonized. With regular use and care the spot will disappear. If you do notice rust simply scour the affected area with steel wool, rinse, dry and rub with vegetable oil.
- COOKING VERSATILITY: Our skillets have unparalleled heat retention that gives you edge-to-edge even cooking every time you use your skillet. Cast iron cookware is slow to heat up but retains heat longer which makes cast iron ideal for pan-frying and roasting. These delicious moments are cast to last.
- FAMILY-OWNED. Lodge is more than just a business; it’s a family. The Lodge family founded the company in 1896, and they still own it today. From environmental responsibility to community development, their heads and hearts are rooted in America. Lodge products are made in the USA with non-toxic, PFOA & PTFE free material.

Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Skillet
Amazon customer· Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2025Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2025 Colour Name: BlackSize Name: 10.25 InchStyle Name: Skillet TL;DR: I have one and I love it. But it works different than a regular pan. I picked one of these up about four years ago during the COVID lockdown. It's a solid workhorse that I have been using for almost all personal cooking. I believe these are still proudly made in the USA, and they are still affordable compared to other cookware. The skillet is especially good for making steaks, burgers, omelettes, bacon, and seared onions. I've been using it a lot to cook marinated beef, pork, and chicken from Hmart (the Korean supermarket). Another favorite dish is roasted sweet potatoes. I've been using avocado oil as a healthier cooking oil. I have only used it on the stovetop, but it can also cook inside the oven. The 10.25" size has worked well for me. I usually fire it up to cook a week's worth of meals. At this point, it would be worth having a second one for parallel processing. If you haven't used a cast iron skillet before, there are some special considerations. Especially around cleaning and seasoning, which are related. Seasoning is like a chemical treatment of the cast iron to keep food from sticking too much to the cooking surface. There will be some sticking though, and it is important to clean after each use. Although these are less non-stick than "non-stick pans", cast iron also does not contain synthetic chemicals like PFAS that have been used in non-stick cookware. PFAS are apparently harmful to ingest and start getting into food as the cooking surface degrades. Cast iron cookware is from an era before these chemicals became so widespread. Here is some cast iron guidance from my experience. Do not run it through the dishwasher. Do not leave it in the sink, especially in contact with water (to avoid rust). Preferably avoid cleaning it with soap and water altogether. Do not pour cold water into a hot skillet since the temperature shock might cause it to crack. Avoid setting the heat too high on the stovetop; this burns off your hard-earned seasoning and may set off the fire alarm. I usually set the burner to 3-4 out of 10. Before using the skillet, I followed a suggestion on the internet about sanding down to the bare metal and starting over with my own seasoning. Lodge's casting process apparently results in the rough texture, and I think their factory seasoning also contributes. Other brands offer skillets with much smoother surfaces, but they seem to cost substantially more, and I don't mind a little DIY for something like this that should last a very long time. I didn't have power sanding tools so I sanded by hand, removing the factory seasoning and smoothing down the metal. To kickstart the new seasoning, I applied an imperceptibly thin layer of oil and baked the skillet in the oven. I repeated that several times. Then, for the first cook, I fried some potatoes, onions, and butter. I did another round with bacon. The bacon was delicious, but I just realized that I still have the grease saved from it in the back of the fridge... After that I just used the skillet normally. I didn't note down my exact process like the sandpaper grits, and the number of oven seasoning rounds, and the type of oil I used, but there is plenty of detailed guidance on the internet if you need it. After each use, I clean it and then finish off by applying the thinnest possible coat of grapeseed oil (which is less expensive than avocado oil) while the skillet is cooling down on the stovetop. I apply the oil to the entire skillet including the handle and the underside. I used a paper towel or napkin to wipe off any excess oil - if you don't do this, it becomes a layer of crust rather than seasoning. Not a big deal though, it can be scraped off. For my cleaning process, I keep the skillet heated. I boil a pot of water and pour it on the skillet to burn off most of the residue. I use a wooden spoon to scrape off anything that's still stuck on. Sometimes a metal spatula helps if the spoon isn't scrapey enough. I pour the greasy run off into disposable cups and let them cool before taking them out to the dumpster. I would say to avoid pouring this stuff down the drain. One of my most useful resources has been the YouTube channel "Cowboy Kent Rollins". Definitely check him out if you're new to cast iron cooking and want to get advice from a cowboy guy. There are some Lodge accessories (or similar from third parties) that might be worth checking out: this includes scrapers, chain mail scrubbers, silicone handles, and lids. One more thing to mention is that there are a variety of Lodge skillets with special designs on the back. I got a basic one with the logo. A special design might be cool if you have multiple skillets (to tell them apart) or if you are giving one as a gift. Read more
