• Use on all cooking surfaces, grills, and campfires (including induction).
• Oven safe.

• To care for your Seasoned Cast Iron:
  • Hand wash and dry immediately—even before first use.
  • Rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after every wash
  • How much oil? Enough to restore the sheen, without being “sticky”. Why? To keep the iron “seasoned” and protected from moisture.
  • It's okay to use a little soap when needed, just make sure you dry thoroughly and apply a little oil afterwards.

Nestled alongside the Cumberland Plateau of the Appalachian Mountains is the town of South Pittsburgh, Tennessee in the U.S.A (population 3,300). It was here that Joseph Lodge and his wife settled and, in 1896 opened his first foundry.  They created a legacy of quality that has thrived through two World  Wars and the Great Depression and is still carried on by his family today. Both the CEO and Chairman are Joseph Lodge’s great-grandsons who continue to evolve the product line and improve manufacturing methods.  While many worthy competitors have fallen by the wayside, Lodge’s dedication to quality, technology, and employees have helped it not only survive but flourish.
