Lodge BOLD Cast Iron Skillet

Yes, the skillet arrives pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use. The natural, easy-release finish will continue to improve and become more non-stick the more you cook with it.

Absolutely. Because the skillet is made of magnetic cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and glass-top ranges.

The silicone handle holder is designed for stovetop use to protect your hands from heat. You should remove it before placing the skillet in the oven, as it is not intended to withstand high oven temperatures.

The cast iron skillet itself is oven-safe up to 500°F. This makes it an excellent choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, such as cornbread or seared steaks.

Cast iron should be hand-washed with warm water and a mild soap if needed, then dried immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as this will strip the seasoning and cause the metal to oxidize.

The BOLD series features a slightly different handle design and a more modern aesthetic while maintaining the same legendary durability and heat retention Lodge is known for. It is essentially the same high-performance cast iron with a refreshed, ergonomic look.
