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. Use the 5-inch mini skillet to create the perfect appetizer, dessert, sauce or specialty entree. With graceful rolled edges and curved lines the Lodge mini tableware offers a new design in cast iron cookware. Use as a serving dish to deliver delicious appetizers hot out of the oven. Or chill the cast iron server in the refrigerator to keep foods cold and fresh while being served. And like our cast iron cookware, this pan is seasoned at the Foundry with our proprietary vegetable oil formula, providing an easy release oil finish that improves with use. Cast iron is unparalleled in heat retention and even heating. For use at home in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or over the campfire. Cleaning is easy, simply hand wash, dry and rub with cooking oil. Made in the USA.
