Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching. It retains heat well so you can sear meat at higher temperatures and will keep your delicious meals warm for a long time. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, these are virtually indestructible cookware should last for generations. Made of cast iron, this skillet evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls. Sporting a stylish black colour, the cast iron skillet looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. While the skillet comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. Review: Love it. - I've very fond memories as a child growing up of my father making soda bread in a cast iron pan over an open fire. When I set up my own home I inherited that cast iron pan. One ex later the pan disappeared with him never to be returned. Over the years I've had all sorts of pan, non stick, Teflon, ceramic etc but none ever lived up to that old cast iron pan. Changing my hob some years ago to induction I gave up the idea of cast iron cookware until I this popped up in my list of recommended items. Not expecting much I bought it thinking if it didn't work I wouldn't have lost too much money. I can say with hand on heart this was a pleasure to use. Even though it says it's seasoned I decided to season it myself. I set it on the hob using a gentle heat and when it started to smoke I put about half a teaspoon of beef dripping (left over from Xmas roasties) in and brushed it round go pan to coat. Once it started to smoke again I used kitchen towel to mop up the fat. I repeated this 3 times. Once I was satisfied that it was seasoned properly I dropped 2 eggs in to cook which they did to perfection. I've just finished a delicious fried egg sandwich sith the eggs perfectly cooked with set whites and runny yokes. The eggs slide right out of the pan, no sticking, no debris left behind. I did use a palette knife to lift the edge so it could slide out but other than that the whole thing slid out perfectly and the pan wiped clean with kitchen towel. This is a lovely little pan just right for 2 eggs, a grilled cheese sandwich or an omelette. As with all cast iron the handle will get hot when in use and the only con I have is that the handle could be a little longer. Weight wise, it us heavy but I have arthritic fingers and wrists and I managed this okay. The photo shows the size of the pan. As you can see 2 eggs fills it totally. If you're looking for a small pan buy this and as long as you look after it you'll have a pan that will last several lifetimes. Review: Perfect for backpacking - She does a great job cooking up half a can of spam at a time, fits beautifully on the grill my kelly kettle set comes with, doesnt take too long to cool down once you finish cooking 10-15 minutes or so to be cool enough to be picked up by hand, use the towel you wrapped this up with to clean it afterwards. Honestly goes hand in hand with a kelly kettle like butter on toast. Big enough to cook a burger on, honestly just perfect for one person meals ## Features - Ideal size for mushrooms, onions, grilled sandwiches, eggs and burgers - Features an assist handle so that the skillet/frying pan can be easily lifted and maneuvered - Can be hung when not in use via a hole within the handle - Pre-seasoned at Lodge's foundry for a natural, easy-release finish that improves with use - Unparalleled distribution and retention of heat ensures rapid and efficient cooking - Suitable for use on induction, ceramic, electric and gas cooktops, as well as in the oven, on the stove, in the grill and on barbecues/campfires - Extremely versatile - can be used to sear, fry, sautΓ©, grill, roast, bake, braise and broil (both indoors or out) - Compatible with metal, wood and silicone utensils - Clean via hand washing (Lodge cast iron is sterile at 212 degrees Fahrenheit/100 degrees Celsius, so detergents are optional) - Brutally tough - can last for over 100 years if care and use instructions (included with item) are followed - Lifetime guarantee (full details below) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000809QN4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 368,867 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 694 in Frying Pans | | Brand | Lodge | | Brand Name | Lodge | | Capacity | 5 inches | | Coating Description | Natural Vegetable Oil Seasoning | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Gas | | Compatible devices | Gas | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,672 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 100 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00075536303000, 60075536303002 | | Handle Material | Cast Iron | | Has Nonstick Coating | Yes | | Included Components | Cast Iron Wonder Skillet, Pre-Seasoned, 5-inch | | Is Oven Safe | Yes | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Shape | square | | Item Type Name | INLODGE.L5WS3 | | Item Weight | 771 g | | Manufacturer | LODGE | | Manufacturer Part Number | L5WS3 | | Material | Inoxidable | | Material Type | Inoxidable | | Maximum Temperature | 500 Degrees Fahrenheit | | Metal | Cast Iron | | Model Name | Cast Iron Wonder Skillet | | Model Number | L5WS3 | | Product Care Instructions | Not Dishwasher Safe | | Recommended Uses For Product | cooking | | Special Features | Assist handle | | Special feature | Assist handle | | Specific Uses For Product | General cooking | | UPC | 075536303000 753956167425 788809802345 885448833294 787543786911 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lodge - **Capacity:** 5 inches - **Colour:** Black - **Material:** Inoxidable - **Special feature:** Assist handle ## Images ![Lodge 12.7 cm / 5 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Mini Square Skillet/Frying Pan,L5WS3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LL0MbnrWL.jpg) ![Lodge 12.7 cm / 5 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Mini Square Skillet/Frying Pan,L5WS3 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81z1yVn-mOL.jpg) ![Lodge 12.7 cm / 5 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Mini Square Skillet/Frying Pan,L5WS3 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21X9SB+LW4L.jpg) ![Lodge 12.7 cm / 5 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Mini Square Skillet/Frying Pan,L5WS3 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zRjfyw1AL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Item Package Quantity, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it. *by A***I on 10 January 2017* I've very fond memories as a child growing up of my father making soda bread in a cast iron pan over an open fire.

I have to say once used a couple of times its seasoned well and has great non-stick properties. It really does give my egg and sausage sarnies the 'edge'! Good quality and solid build as expected from Lodge. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lodge L5WS3 Cast Iron Wonder Skillet, Pre-Seasoned, 5.5 -inch - Lodge 6-1/2 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet – Signature Teardrop Handle - Use in the Oven, on the Stove, on the Grill, or Over a Campfire, Black - Lodge L9OG3 Cast Iron Round Griddle, Pre-Seasoned, 10.5-inch - Made in USA, Compatible with Stovetop, Oven, Grill & Campfire --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/47877240-lodge-12-7-cm-5-inch-pre-seasoned-cast-iron](https://www.desertcart.us/products/47877240-lodge-12-7-cm-5-inch-pre-seasoned-cast-iron) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
