The Lodge Cast Iron 5-inch square Skillet is wonderful for cooking individual eggs or other small dishes. 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, theses 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 color, the cast iron Skillet looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. This pre-seasoned skillet is ready-to-use right out of the box. While the skillet 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. Sometimes during this process, the seasoning oil can collect and create a bubble or slight drip at the bottom of the pan as it’s hanging through the production process. And that in turn can turn brown as it’s processed through the seasoning ovens. This brown spot is not rust but in fact, carbonized seasoning and will darken with use. 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.

Looks limited, BUT…. I love this silly little skillet! It does lots of things, which you can discover by reading other reviews.MY favorite use is Eggs in a Hole, a British pub dish which requires that your skillet be oven proof. For many people that won’t be a problem, but I wanted something that would fit in a toaster oven!Search the Internet for a recipe, but it’s basically this: cut a round hole in the centre of a slice of bread. Butter both sides of the bread. Toast in the skillet. Flip over and…
Perfect for so many things: eggs, sandwiches, snacks + EZ care & will last forever! I have many pieces of Lodge cast iron and I love cooking with them–old recipes plus new ideas when I run across them. I wasn’t sure about this pan–it seemed awfully small, and I wasn’t sure that I would use it enough to justify having it, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway, thinking I could just use it as a spoon rest if it didn’t work out. Well, I use it all of the time! Perfect for making eggs or toasted cheese and other sandwiches for one or two with no mess & no fuss–fast & easy and…
