The family-owned company, based in South Pittsburg (Tennessee), is the only remaining manufacturer of cast iron cookware in the USA. The business has survived two World Wars and the Great Depression and continues to prosper today due to its legacy of quality and dedication to improving manufacturing methods. The Evolution of Lodge Lodge’s legendary foundry has undergone several notable upgrades as the company has grown. In order to respond to increasing demand, it was converted from a hand-pour operation to an automated moulding process in 1950. This led to safer and more efficient manufacturing procedures. In 1992, with an emphasis on conservation, Lodge’s coal-fired cupola furnaces were replaced by an electro-magnetic induction melting system. With consumer demand beginning to exceed foundry capacity, Lodge recently completed a comprehensive expansion of its facilities that cost in excess of 30 million dollars. This included new melting and sand systems, an additional moulding line and enhanced seasoning capabilities. These developments have increased capacity by almost 50% and have ensured that Lodge’s foundry is now the most technologically-advanced in the world. Lodge Seasoned Steel - Brutally Tough! In 2011, as a natural complement to their cast iron offerings, Lodge launched their range of seasoned steel cookware. Constructed using 12-gauge carbon steel, the items boast comparable versatility, durability and performance, but are lighter than their cast iron counterparts. Pre-seasoned at the foundry to provide the renowned natural, easy-release finish that improves with use, Lodge seasoned steel operates effortlessly both within the kitchen and on the open flames of the barbecue/campfire. Care and Use Instructions - Follow these to Ensure that Your Lodge Seasoned Steel Lasts a Lifetime! Care 1) Hand wash and dry immediately - even before the very first use. 2) Allow your cookware to cool naturally prior to cleaning (plunging hot seasoned steel into water may cause damage). 3) Rub a small amount of vegetable oil into the product after every wash. Use just enough to restore the sheen, without it becoming ‘sticky’. This reinforces the natural seasoning and protects the seasoned steel from moisture (which can lead to rusting). Use 1) It is safe to use metal, wood or silicone utensils with your cookware. 2) Some foods (especially eggs) may stick to some degree during initial usage. It is advisable to employ extra oil or butter until the seasoning has built-up. 3) Acidic foods such as tomatoes, beans and certain sauces can damage the seasoning and should be avoided until the natural non-stick layer has matured. 4) Seasoned steel rarely needs to be placed on an above-medium heat setting if adequately pre-heated. On occasions when a higher cooking temperature is required, elevate the heat gradually and apply oil just prior to adding the food in order to prevent sticking. 5) Holders/mitts are essential when using the handles. Protect countertops with trivets. How to Reverse Rusting Without protective seasoning, seasoned steel can rust. If this does occur, it can be easily fixed by scouring the rust, rinsing and drying the cookware, and then applying a small quantity of vegetable oil. If significant rusting is apparent then the cookware may need to be re-seasoned. Visit www.lodgemfg.com for specific directions.

Had been looking for a very large pan for a very long time, and too be honest was a bit nervous that I'd blown a load of money on a pan that wouldn't live up to the expectations that I had Well I can assure you that despite some of the negative reviews this pan is the real deal, I can only assume some people don't use them properly, seriously get the pan hot enough to slightly smoke turn down and nothing sticks, really impressed washed with hot water as stated with cleaned it a treat and then oiled (I used rice bran oil as can take very high temperatures also seasoned a few times just to get it going!) Use it as stated and you will love this pan!!! Ps.. I used on gas hob and as other reviewers stated you will need to turn down heat as it gets seriously hot, so careful not to burn them ribeye's!!

I bought this as I have the cast iron skillet and that works fine. Firstly this arrived damaged per photo. Secondly, as soon as I heated up the pan to medium heat only it completely warped. It was never completely level with the cooking surface (slight wobble). When it cools down the warping reduces. All in… for a £50 pan this is unacceptably poor quality ## Frequently Bought Together - Lodge Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Skillet - Use in the Oven, on the Stove, on the Grill, or Over a Campfire - 12 Inch - Lodge Silicone Hot Handle Holder - Dishwasher Safe Hot Handle Holder Designed for Lodge Carbon Steel Pan Products - Reusable Heat Protection Up to 500° - Orange --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/50052560-lodge-30-48-cm-12-inch-pre-seasoned-steel-round](https://www.desertcart.us/products/50052560-lodge-30-48-cm-12-inch-pre-seasoned-steel-round) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
