Lodge 10 Inch Cast Iron Chef Skillet. Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Pan with Sloped Edges for Sautes and Stir Fry.

Description

Designed for the gourmet, the Lodge Chef Skillet is great
for omelets, cornbread or sauteing. This unique 10-inch skillet has sloped
sides and features a teardrop handle. 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. 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. Measures: 10-inch diameter, 1.75-inch
deep. 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. 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. While the skillet
comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed
or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After cooking, we recommend
cleaning with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap or the dishwasher
is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used. Towel dry
immediately cleaning and apply a light coating of oil to utensil while it is
still warm. From the Manufacturer Lodge’s 10-inch cast-iron chef’s skillet
features an assist handle that helps the user lift the pan from the stove.
Like all Lodge cast-iron cookware, this skillet outcooks even the most
expensive stainless or aluminum cookware because of its unrivaled heat
retention, versatility, value, and durability. The even heating of cast iron
is perfect for golden, tender, perfectly pan-fried chicken, or for the slow
simmering of roasts, stews, and soups. Lodge’s pieces adhere to the company’s
strict standards. Each precision mold produces the correct wall thickness for
the item in question, producing the finest, most consistent cast-iron cookware
on the market. This skillet is 2 inches deep and weighs approximately 6
pounds.
