The Lodge Round 10 1/4 Inch Grill Pan is a wonderful addition to any kitchen or campsite. The deep ridges on the bottom of this heavy cast-iron skillet make it perfect for grilling steaks, chicken, hamburgers or even shrimp. The ridges help to sear the food while keeping it above the pan grease for lower fat cooking. Cast-iron creates superior heat retention, browning your meat evening while leaving them moist and delicious. This grill pan features a heavy-duty handle with a notch that allows for hanging, and two side lips for pouring off grease or liquids. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, theses virtually indestructible cookware should last for generations. Made of cast iron, this Skillet evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls. Sporting a stylish black color, the cast iron Skillet looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. Cast Iron, like your grandmother used, still ranks as one of the best cooking utensils ever made. It gives you a nearly non-stick surface, without the possible harmful fumes generated by preheating chemically treated nonstick cookware. The American-based company, Lodge, has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century.
Benefits of Cooking with Cast Iron
Brutally tough for decades of cooking
Cast iron cookware is as tough as it is heavy! All Lodge Cast Iron cookware is cast in one piece, including the handles, to provide stability and durability for decades. When properly maintained, cast iron cookware can last a lifetime or longer, but even if rusted, your cast iron cookware can be restored by scouring off the rust with a stiff brush and re-seasoning.
Unparalleled in heat retention and even heating
Chefs and home cooks love cooking with cast iron because of its ability to withstand high heat and even heating, making it the ideal piece of cookware for deep frying, searing meat, and sauteing vegetables. You can even use in the oven to roast, bake or broil over 500 degrees. Preheat your cast iron cookware on the stove or in the oven prior to cooking for best results.
Preseasoned for naturally non-stick finish
Seasoning is simply oil baked onto the iron that prevents rust and provides a natural, easy-release finish that continues to improve with use. Lodge uses soybean oil to season our traditional cast iron cookware so it's ready to use out of the box. There are no synthetic chemicals added. The oil is highly refined, and all proteins that cause soy-related allergies are eliminated.
Versatile cookware for any occassion
Lodge Cast Iron Cookware has been a staple in American kitchens for over a hundred years. At home in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or over the campfire, our cast iron cookware will be the most versatile piece of cookware in your kitchen.

The black patina given to the cookware by the factory seasoning process is, in fact, vegetable oil that has been baked into a piece of cookware that has emerged from an individual sand mould. This coating of oil is a functional application and not a cosmetic application. The cookware is hanging as it rides through the electrostatic sprayer and commercial conveyor ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron which creates an easy release finish. As a result of this process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. If visible, it will rub or flake off with your finger, leaving a brown spot. Don’t worry, it’s not rust but a seasoned spot that is brown, indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning. As a matter of fact, this is the colour of home seasoned iron until it has been used several times. The brown spot will turn black with use.
