Lodge Blacklock Cast Iron Grill Pan

The Blacklock series is engineered with a thinner casting process, making this 12-inch pan significantly lighter than standard Lodge cast iron. While it remains sturdy and retains heat well, the reduced weight makes it much easier to maneuver on and off the stovetop.

Correct. The pan comes pre-seasoned with three layers of vegetable oil, providing a naturally nonstick surface right out of the box. You can start cooking immediately, though you should continue to maintain the seasoning with light oiling after each wash.

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with induction stovetops. Its flat base ensures excellent contact with induction elements, and the cast iron material is naturally magnetic.

Because the pan is not dishwasher safe, the best way to clean between the ridges is with a stiff-bristled brush or a dedicated chainmail scrubber while the pan is still warm. Avoid soaking the pan in water to prevent rust, and always dry it thoroughly before applying a thin layer of oil.

The extended handle design is intended to stay cooler for longer than a standard short handle by increasing the distance from the heat source. However, it is still made of cast iron, so it will eventually get hot; always use a mitt or handle cover when cooking for extended periods.

Yes, this pan is highly versatile and safe for use in the oven, on a grill, or directly over an open campfire. Its durable construction is designed to withstand high heat without warping.
