Configuració i ús inicial
Pre-Seasoned Cookware
Your Lodge cast iron skillet comes factory pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil, making it ready for immediate use right out of the box. Seasoning is a layer of oil baked into the iron, which provides a natural, easy-release finish and helps prevent rust. The more you use your Lodge skillet, the better the seasoning will become.
Primer ús
Before first use, rinse the skillet with warm water and dry thoroughly. A very light layer of cooking oil can be applied while the pan is warm to further enhance the seasoning.

Manteniment i cura
Instruccions de neteja
Proper cleaning is essential for maintaining your cast iron skillet. Always hand wash your skillet; it is not dishwasher safe.
- Wash with warm water. A mild soap can be used if desired, but many prefer to avoid soap to preserve seasoning.
- Scrub with a stiff brush or a cast iron scraper to remove food residue.
- Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel immediately after washing to prevent rust.
- While the pan is still warm, apply a very light layer of cooking oil to the entire surface.
- Hang or store the cookware in a dry place.
Re-condiment
If your seasoning appears dull or food begins to stick, you can re-season your skillet. Apply a thin, even coat of vegetable oil to the entire skillet (inside and out). Place it upside down on the top rack of your oven with a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any drips. Bake at 400-450°F (200-230°C) for one hour. Let it cool completely in the oven.
Resolució de problemes
Formació d'òxid
If you notice a spot that looks like rust when your pan arrives, it is likely just oil that has not fully carbonized. With regular use and care, this spot will typically disappear.
If actual rust develops due to improper drying or storage, do not panic. It is not broken. Simply scour the affected area with steel wool, rinse, dry thoroughly, and then rub with a light layer of vegetable oil. This process will remove the rust and help restore the seasoning.
