User questions & answers

Question:	Are there different models of he same lodge item? what i mean is, is there one 10" skillet, or are there several 10" skillets with different features
Answer:	Theyre all the same just different brands
Question:	Anyone use these on an electric stove. How long does it take to heat up
Answer:	Hello, I use it on electric every day, For me it takes about 10 minutes to heat up on medium setting. It may heat up faster or slower depending on the quality of stove you have, my stove is a low quality stove, one of the good things about cast iron is you can also use it in the oven. Hope this helps
Question:	The larger skillet arrived with some black bits flaking off. Is this normal or should it be returned
Answer:	Ours came the same way. Don't worry it is part of the casting process. A good dry scrubbing will loosen and remove it. Then season it as per the directions. DO NOT short cut the seasoning process. Do it right and they will last for a century or more.
Question:	How much does each pain weight
Answer:	The big one is 2 hands heavy. I'm 75 ,225 lbs and it's a great pan but I use 2 hands to take it from drawer in bottom of stove to top of stove. My days of swinging cast iron pans are over. Medium and small are fine.

SEASONED & READY TO USE

Lodge seasons all of their cookware with vegetable oil before it leaves the foundry, so all you have to do is give it a quick rinse and you’re ready to cook. Seasoning is cooking oil that has been baked onto the iron, forming a natural, easy-release finish for less sticking. The more you use your cast iron, the better your seasoning will become, making your cast iron darker and smoother over time. Lodge products are perfect for everything from baking to braising, frying to roasting.

MADE IN THE USA

Tucked between the Appalachian Mountains and the Tennessee River you’ll find the small town of South Pittsburg, TN; a town that Lodge is proud to call home.

CLEANING & CARE

There’s nothing better than a home-cooked meal, and Lodge’s rust-resistant line just made that easier. Items in this line undergo a patented heat-treating process to inhibit rust. Hand washing this pan with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware’s seasoned finish. For extra stuck-on bits, an occasional trip through the dishwasher is fine, just apply a thin coat of cooking oil to it afterward to maintain the seasoning. Lodge prides itself on high quality and timeless design, which has now been matched with new technology and convenience.

User questions & answers

Question:	Since this is only oven-safe up to 400 degrees, how do you cook a pizza? Most pizza recipes I've seen require baking at 425 or
Answer:	I think amazon must of goofed on saying it was only oven safe to 400. I have had my pan for quite a while and I bake my pizza's at 450 and have never had a problem.
Question:	How do you season the pan
Answer:	Unlike everyone else who isn't in-the-know about GMO vegetable oils, I choose to use organic coconut oil to season my pan ... AND to cook with. It is one of THE most healthiest oils you can use (and don't believe the misconseption or DISimformation on the internet regarding coconut oil. You can find all you need to know at coconutresearchcenter.org).
Question:	Why does the description say, 'oven safe to 400?' Anyone gone hotter, or used over a fire
Answer:	It dose not say oven safe to 400 degrees. It says it will reach 400 dergrees in 4 minutes on medium heat. It's warning you/telling you that it gets hot in a short amount of time. I am not sure when or if they edited this but that is what it said at the time I have read it.
Question:	Who has a good recipe for pizza dough
Answer:	High protein (strong) wheat (white) flour, water, salt and a small amount of yeast. Combine the water (1 cup) with yeast and a little sugar (yeast food) and wait a few minutes to ensure the yeast is active. Add flour and salt (1.5 teaspoons) and combine until the dough comes together and leaves the side of the mixing bowl clean but is still tacky to the touch. Kneading is the key to great dough so knead it until it develops a sheen, then form into a ball, oil lightly the dough and the bowl and let rise for 5 to 6 hours. Beat down and knead 30 minutes before you need it and form (do not roll out with a rolling pin) into your desired shape. Let it rest while you get the other ingredients ready and preheat your oven as hot as possible. Cook it, let it rest for five minutes, cut into shapes you like and insert one shape into your mouth (be careful, shapes may be hot and toppings may slide off the crust onto your chin or shirt) (Do not eat too many pizza shapes as it may alter your own shape adversely).

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone used this for camping? What was your experience with it
Answer:	I use it when we car/tent camped. Can do a lot with this combo. I use it to fry and bake (as a dutch oven) I even used it as a bean pot to make baked beans. At night, put it in a hole with the coals and cover it with dirt....by morning the beans are ready... It is now my RV prime cooking utensil. I bought mine almost 5 years ago (2016) and its still going strong
Question:	why is this so much cheaper here than on the Lodge site? 62.00 on their site compared to here
Answer:	They’re the same, better price in Amazon
Question:	How much does it weigh with the lid and with out it
Answer:	The skillet is 8-9lbs pot about 13. Together they're like, about 20 or so. They don't feel that heavy though, & amazon price is LESS then 1/2 what you'd pay for 1 pot on website..plus they're handy for whackin stuff! ;)
Question:	Despite using oil and the pan being already seasoned, steak sticks to the pan. Is this normal for the first time or do I need to return my pan
Answer:	It is common for new cast iron (even pre-seasoned) to have sticking issues. Just use a little more oil and butter when cooking your steaks and it will slowly build up more of a tolerance over time. Also, make sure the pan is hot before putting oil in, and especially any steaks. I have a glass top electric stove so I let the pan heat up for about 15 minutes before adding oil and butter. It starts at about 625 degrees, but after adding oil and butter, it cools to about 450. Then I add the steak after the butter melts, and I don't have any sticking issues at all. I use very coarse sea salt and oil to clean the pan, and then flax seed oil to re-season after. I turn the burner on high and let the pan sit there until it starts smoking and then turn off the burner and let it cool for a few hours (or even overnight) before putting it back in the cabinet. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	This is a fabulous skillet! Has any one found a lid? I got this one to use on it: "16 Inch Large Paella Pan Lid by Garcima" It is a little light
Answer:	YES FOUND IT ON AMAZON HERES 1 NOT THE 1 I BOUGHT Aluminum Flat Wok Lid / Wok Cover, 18-Inches, (For 19" or 20" Wok), 18 Guage, USA Made
Question:	Will a 16 inch diameter pizza fit in this pan
Answer:	No, this Lodge pan bottom measures 14 inches across. A 16 inch pizza pan would fit into the top but would never rest evenly or touch bottom.
Question:	What is the overall width including handles? Is it 12" max dimension, or is that the diameter of just the pan proper
Answer:	Accurate measurements for L10SKL 12 inch dual-handle cast Iron pan: Outside diameter 12 1/8 inches. OD at handles:14 5/8 inches. OD at pour spouts:12 3/4 inches. Outside height:2 1/4 inches. Outside bottom diameter (flat area between radii) about 9 1/2 inches..... Inside top diameter:11 3/4 inches; Inside bottom diameter (flat area between radii) 10 inches. Inside depth:2 inches.
Question:	What is the diameter of the inside/bottom cooking surface? Wondering if this beast will even fit on my oven rack. BTW, would this make a good broiling/roasting pan for delicate veggies (bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, onions), or would it scorch them and leave me with a stuck on mess
Answer:	I have many cast iron cooking utensils and I love them all. But for oven roasting delicate vegetables like you describe please see my review of this product https://www.amazon.com/review/R9B0J0L1ASIVO/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions of the bottom part (without the handles

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the diameter of the area that actually touches the burner (on a flat induction cooktop
Answer:	The bottom is 9", but part of that includes the curve between the bottom of the pot and the sides so only about 8" would actually be touching the stove surface.When you reverse the "lid" to be a frying pan, 8" would be touching the stove surface.
Question:	can it be used in a 500 degree oven to bake bread
Answer:	Even though you may not BAKE bread at 500 degrees, it is a good idea to preheat the oven and cast iron up to 500 to compensate for heat loss when you open the oven. I typically turn oven down to 450/425 after I've placed the dough and covered. The preheating seals the crust and allows for a good steam.
Question:	Exact dimensions

Question:	what is best way to re-season the lodge logic l8dd3 before using it
Answer:	I'm a bit late for you, but for anyone else who comes along wondering ...Wash well with hot soap and water when you get it home. Then dry it. Then put it on the stovetop on a low heat for a good 10-15 minutes to thoroughly dry the pores, while preheating oven to 350-400. Coat VERY thinly with a HIGH-smoke point oil (grapeseed or flax seed oil). Stick it in the oven, upside down (protect bottom of oven in case you've put too much oil on) and bake for a good hour. Turn off oven and leave pan in oven until cold. You can/should repeat as often as you want initially, up to about 6 times (if you stay aware of the pan, you can remove from oven while still warm to apply another THIN coating of oil, if not then start at the heating pan on stovetop point - best to apply oil to a warm or hot pan), but a couple to a few times should be enough if you're conscientious about applying oil to the heated dry pan after every use. (Oh, don't use soap again, just rinse or wipe out well after every use - using a scraper or hard brush if needed, then heat on stove). Eventually applying another coat of oil to the pan is something that only needs to be done every so often, and you'll have a beautifully seasoned pan without waiting for years! After cooking something greasy, I'd wipe out all the grease, heat the pan well wiping out the extra grease as it heats til pan looks dry. Not necessary to apply oil again since the bacon grease (or whatever) serves as a coating of oil.I have to admit, though, that I've never done the oven method, although I know it's highly recommended. Mostly because I have the time/patience to do it all on the stovetop (takes more babysitting and time). I've always PLANNED on doing the oven method, but it was summer when I got my first cast iron and didn't want to heat up the house. It worked so well for me, I've done all my pans that way. Now that it's winter, I may try putting a couple of my newer pans in oven, but most simply do not need it any longer.The reason I heat the pan on the stove every time after I rinse it is because there could be water vapor in the pores that I can't see. You need to dry that out before you season the pan! Besides, oil is applied better/easier to a warm/hot pan.Lastly, you ALWAYS want the pan to look dry after you've applied the oil. If you can see the oil, or the sheen from the oil, you've applied too much. Literally only takes a few drops! If you apply it too thickly, you'll probably end up with your seasoning flaking off down the road.If rinsing or scraping your pan isn't taking cooked on foods off, then you can use kosher salt as an abrasive. Toss it into the pan (I like to do it while it's warm), and wipe over the spot hard with a towel. It's worked for me every time, though I rarely get stuff cooked on (usually will happen if my daughter cooks since she's new to cooking). Worst case scenario - if you've done the seasoning recommended above, you cannot hurt the pan by boiling water in it for a few minutes, till the cooked on stuff softens. BUT ... you MUST then season the pan, on the stovetop at least!Hope this helps someone!

User questions & answers

Question:	What size lid should I purchase for this skillet/pot
Answer:	I bought this Lodge deep skillet from Wegmans (L8DSK3) because I just happened to see it and it didn't come with a lid. So I just purchased the lid (and received today) from Amazon "Lodge 10-1/4-Inch Cast-Iron Lid" which states it fits L8DSK3. Sold by: Amazon.com Services, Inc. for $21.45. It fits perfect.
Question:	Can you cook tomato sauce in this since it is pre seasoned
Answer:	The acid from the tomato sauce will remove the seasoning and when your done you WILL have to redo the seasoning process. Ask how I know this!
Question:	Is this suitable for deep fry
Answer:	yes, you can use this for deep frying - I'd advise to keep an eye on the temperature and don't fill the pan too full of oil.
Question:	What is the volume capacity for the 10.25 inch skillet (my guess is around 3 qts
Answer:	I filled mine with water using a liquid measuring cup. It took 5 cups with about 3/8" inch to spare. That's 1.25 quarts.

Lodge L8DSK3 Pre-Seasoned Deep Skillet

The black patina given to the cookware by the factory seasoning process is, in fact, vegetable oil that has been baked into a piece of cookware that has emerged from an individual sand mold. This coating of oil is a functional application and not a cosmetic application. The cookware is hanging as it rides through the electrostatic sprayer and commercial conveyer ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron which creates an easy release finish. As a result of this process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. If visible, it will rub or flake off with your finger, leaving a brown spot. Don’t worry, it’s not rust but a seasoned spot that is brown, indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning. As a matter of fact, this is the color of home seasoned iron until it has been used several times. The brown spot will turn black with use.

Made of Cast-Iron

Cast-Iron is a form of cookware developed over a millennia ago remains as popular today as when it was used to prepare meals hundreds of years ago. Cast Iron is one of only two metals compatible with induction stovetops.

Unparalleled in heat retention and even heating.

Can Be Used With A Variety of Heat Sources

At home in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or over the campfire. Skillet may be used on various heat sources including gas, electric, induction and ceramic-glass top stoves and ovens. When using on glass stove tops, be careful not to slide the cookware around as it's possible to scratch the surface. Seasoned cast iron can also be used on the grill or outdoor fire and coals for camp cooking. Begin heating cookware on low and slowly bring heat up to medium or medium/high. Always remove cookware from the stovetop after cooking.

Lodge is a Green Foundry

Lodge is a zero hazardous waste stream foundry. Lodge designed a vegetable oil recycler for the seasoning process to reduce waste and unusable oil is recycled and used as biodiesel generator. Lodge uses recycled and biodegradable packing materials. Reuse of foundry sand used in the casting process is recycled and unusable sand , working to purify the water of the local streams and planting trees to improve air quality and beautification.

Lodge is the oldest family-owned cookware foundry in America. Since 1896, the Lodge family has been casting premium iron cookware at their Tennessee foundry. Starting with raw materials and finishing with their seasoning process, they continue to improve on the highest quality standards that go into every piece we make. As the sole American manufacturer of cast iron cookware, they are proud to carry on the legacy started by founder Joseph Lodge. Lodge doesn't just make cast iron; they make heirlooms that bring people together for generations.

Product description

So you want to make perfect cornbread? Then this 5-slot pan is for you. The individual cornsticks, shaped like ears of corn, are a traditional favorite for generations. These crispy crusted darlin’s leave your guests yellin’ for more. Great with soups, stews and chili. Cast Iron is ideal for that perfect cornbread crust, not too thick, not too dark. Unique cooking properties of Cast Iron cook evenly without hot spots. Sporting a stylish black color, the cast iron pan looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. This pre-seasoned pan is ready-to-use right out of the box. While the pan comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. The Lodge seasoning procedure is a multiple-step process in which the seasoning oil is applied via an electrostatic spray system that coats the cookware, then it’s baked in commercial ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron. This seasoning process achieves a seasoned finish that would take many months of home use to achieve. The factory seasoning process makes Lodge cast iron products ready to use right out of the box, and the product over time “Just keeps getting better”. After cooking, clean with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used. Towel dry immediately and apply a light coating of oil to utensil while it is still warm. Cast Iron, like your grandmother used, still ranks as one of the best cooking utensils ever made. It gives you a nearly non-stick surface, without the possible harmful fumes generated by preheating chemically treated nonstick cookware. The American-based company, Lodge, has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century.

• Features 5 impressions shaped like ears of corn
• Durable cast-iron construction heats slowly and evenly
• Children love the different shapes
• Bakeware will last 100 years or more

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this pan on stove top (gas/electric
Answer:	You can set it on gas or elec burner; however, if you are making cornsticks, you will likely need a thin layer of batter or it won't cook through without burning on the bottom.
Question:	Can olive oil be used
Answer:	Yes it can. I use olive oil in mine regularly.
Question:	What is the size of each cornbread stick
Answer:	5 inches long, 1 1/2 wide, fill the 1/2 deep full and the corn sticks are about an inch high.
Question:	How to get it to not stick. Did pre-season
Answer:	Hi there. Brush the pan sections with vegetable oil and then preheat it in the oven for approx 15 min. Then I pour the cornbread batter in and bake. This helps the bread not to stick. Loosen the edges of the cornbread with a butter knife. Even though a pan is seasoned I still pre-oil and heat the pan each time like this.

Product description

The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require "seasoning." To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother's ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn't stick to this surface. Bake a pizza with delicious golden crust, and keep it hot at the table with this wonderful pan. Use it to roast vegetables too!

There are lots of fancy cookware materials out there but cast iron still trumps them all with its even heating, heat retention, price, and duration. It’s these traits that make Lodge cookware favored by both indoor chefs and campfire cooks alike. The caveat is being able to lift cast iron cookware and, at 9 pounds, this pan will give most chefs a workout. The 14-inch diameter of this pan is specifically designed for baking thin-crust pizzas but the pan is equally as useful for roasting vegetables or whole nuts and browning pork chops. Two loop handles make it easy to grip this hefty pan and haul it out of the oven.

While it usually takes years of cooking to burn on the prized finish that makes cast-iron cookware smooth and stick-free, the Logic line of cookware comes pre-seasoned to save you some work. Cast iron pans in this line are coated in a vegetable oil, which is then baked on in a hot industrial oven to obtain that blackened patina and silky surface. Logic cookware has plenty of fans, including the editorial staff at Good Housekeeping, who cited it as one of the best new products of the year at the 2003 Good Buy Awards. --Cristina Vaamonde

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this heat faster than cast iron
Answer:	pretty much the same....likely not retain heat as long though
Question:	Do you use it for pancakes? If so, how do they turn out
Answer:	Yes, after I cooked the bacon. Crispy edges on the pancakes, my granddaughter who wouldn't eat pancakes loved them.
Question:	How "non-stick" is this skillet? Is there any special required care
Answer:	It is not a non-stick pan, but is relatively non-stick. Think of your black cast iron skillet/pan. Care and use instructions included. I use mine on the grill and don't have any problems
Question:	What are the true dimensions of the griddle? I see two sets of dimensions: 18 x10 and 21.2 x
Answer:	18 x 10 are the cooking surface dimensions. 21.2 x 10.2 are the exterior dimensions which include the handles.

User questions & answers

Question:	One of the reviews said you can't brown meat in this pot. Is that correct
Answer:	I made chili in mine as soon as I got it, and I browned 2lb of meat as the first thing I did ... 1lb. ground chuck (85% / 15% fat) and 1lb. ground pork ... and then obviously many other ingredients, but it came out fine. I would think you can brown just about anything you wanted in it... Not sure why you couldn't?
Question:	Is it made in the USA
Answer:	Yes, they are made overseas, not in the USA. I've had my pan for 7 years now...and it's used weekly, and more often in the winter months. I was a bit disappointed when it came and I realized it wasn't made in the USA but decided to give it a chance. After 7 years of hard use I can honestly say it's the best pot I have ever owned! It's discolored a bit, not surprising with the amount of use it gets and all the soups stews and roasts I make in it throughout each year. But that hasn't affected the pot at all. It is just a good as it was when I first bought it. I'm going to try the 1 cup baking soda and 4 cups water trick (boil 5 min let sit with the lid on for 2 hours) that I read about in one of the other questions to see if it will return to it's original beige coloring, but even if it doesn't, it's still going to be my "go to" pot for everything I can use a dutch oven for :-) I highly recommend this pot, even though it's not made in the USA!
Question:	Flat bottom suitable for glass top range
Answer:	Yes. I use mine on a flat top electric range all the time with no problems. I allow it to heat on medium heat and it's good to go!
Question:	I followed the cleaning instructions and after 6mths of use the interior is not slick anymore and everything sticks is this normal?Is there a warranty
Answer:	That is because it is cast iron. Every so often, you need to "season" it, which is what makes the surface slick. The basic process is coating the exposed iron in high-heat oil, and heating it to a very high temperature for about an hour. There is a bit more to it, but just look up "how to season cast iron". The oil you rub in and heat onto it fills the porous surface of the iron and makes it non-stick. To clean cast-iron surfaces, you don't want to submerge in water or use soap on it. It is best to clean right after using, and overall just scrub any residual gunk off. You don't even need water, usually! If you use a bunch of soap and water on your pot, it will just ruin the coating, and you will need to re-season it. If you take care of your cast iron though, it will be with you for life! :) http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/09/how-to-season-cast-iron-pans-skillets-cookware.html

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is the red so much more than the blue
Answer:	My best guess is that it comes down to popularity. Red glazes also "pop" more that many other colors, making a smooth finish potentially slightly more difficult to achieve.
Question:	are enamel pots and their lid oven proof and what is max temperature
Answer:	They are oven proof. Not sure about max temp but I have put them in a 450 degree oven without any problems.
Question:	is weight really 16lbs as stated in product details
Answer:	LoL.....it's not quite 16 lbs. however it is heavy. I appreciate the weight of the cast iron and the quality of the product. I own all their (Lodge) enameled cast iron pieces and it's admired by even my mom who owns the other very expensive enameled cast iron.
Question:	Where is it made USA or China
Answer:	Just received (5/20/2020) the Lodge 3.6 qt. Casserole made in China.
