Continuing the tradition of innovation and quality, Lodge introduces the new Heat Enhanced and Seasoned cast iron. Lodge’s premium iron is taken through a patented heat-treating process that inhibits rust growth, keeping your cookware maintenance worry-free. The Lodge Cast Iron Skillet is a multi-functional cookware that works wonders with slow-cooking recipes and all your favorite foods. This pre-seasoned Skillet works like a charm right out of the box. Made of cast iron, this Skillet evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls. Also, it retains heat better so your delicious meal remains warm for a long time. Sporting a stylish black color, the cast iron Skillet looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. A simple Cast-Iron skillet, like the one 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. 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. Made in the USA.

This was about what I expected as I knew that the skillet will run small from the images on Amazon.Initial impressions were that this is a quality piece of cast iron…
Received normal 6.5″ skillet, not heat treated Incredibly disappointed that I paid for the heat treated skillet only to receive the normal version of the skillet, shown by the different finish and different label on the bottom compared to a real heat treated 6.5″ skillet I got from another seller (in pic, skillet on left is genuine heat treated skillet while the one on the right is just a normal skillet, even though I paid for heat treated). It is still a quality piece of cast iron, but I paid approximately double the price for the heat…
