Lodge Cast Iron Spatula

No, this spatula is made of solid cast iron and is not recommended for non-stick surfaces. It is best suited for use with cast iron skillets, stainless steel, or carbon steel pans to avoid scratching delicate coatings.

Yes, because it is made of cast iron, you should hand wash it and dry it thoroughly immediately after use. It is helpful to apply a light coat of oil after drying to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust.

This spatula is significantly heavier and more substantial than a typical thin stainless steel turner. The weight provides excellent leverage for scraping stubborn bits off a skillet, though it may feel different if you are accustomed to lightweight kitchen tools.

Vintage Lodge cast iron from the 1960s typically features a smoother surface than modern, mass-produced cast iron. While it has been cleaned and seasoned, you may still notice the unique character and slight texture inherent to its vintage origin.

The handle is made of the same iron as the blade, so it will conduct heat if left resting inside a hot pan. We recommend using a silicone handle cover or a kitchen towel when handling it during extended cooking sessions.
