Lodge Cookware is Top of Class For Heirloom-Quality Cast Iron

There is a reason that Lodge cookware comes up in every conversation about cast iron. The company has been making cast iron cookware since 1896, and they've certainly earned their reputation for excellence. Their versatile cookware is as at home on the stovetop in a state-of-the-art modern kitchen as it is over a campfire. Beloved by beginners and skilled cooks alike, Lodge cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens and griddles are kitchen essentials designed to last a lifetime.

The Details

Cast iron cookware often intimidates beginning cooks, but it is remarkably easy to work with, and because it can easily go from the stove to the oven to the table, it's well worth the minimal effort required to maintain its nonstick finish. All Lodge cookware is pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box; simply rinse, dry and get to cooking. To clean it, wash by hand, dry promptly and rub with a thin layer of oil to keep that perfect, easy-release cooking surface.

Like all cast iron, Lodge cookware offers remarkable heat retention, making it easy to ensure even cooking regardless of whether you are searing a steak, roasting vegetables or baking bread. In fact, because it holds on to heat so well, it's never necessary to use a stovetop setting over medium when using your Lodge cast iron skillet or Dutch oven. Whether you are looking for a griddle for Saturday morning pancakes, a Dutch oven for slow simmered chilli or an all-purpose skillet for searing pork chops and frying eggs, you'll find a piece of Lodge cookware that is up to the task. Williams Sonoma's collection of Lodge cookware includes all of the classics, so you'll have no trouble finding exactly what you need. Here are just a few of the available options:

  • Lodge Blacklock Triple-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet - Made with a proprietary iron recipe, Lodge's Blacklock cookware is as much as 25% lighter than traditional cast iron. The triple seasoning provides enhanced taste and easier cleanup. Two pouring spouts make this skillet ideal for simmering gravies and sauces. Available in 18-cm, 26-cm and 30-cm sizes, with the larger two skillets having helper handles for easy lifting and transfer.
  • Lodge Cast Iron Double Burner Reversible Grill/Griddle - This piece takes the classic Lodge griddle to the next level by making it reversible. Use the griddle side to cook up a generous helping of eggs or pancakes for breakfast. Flip it over to reveal a grill that's perfect for cooking burgers, fish and more come dinner time. A raised lip prevents spilling, and two handles make it easy to move.
  • Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven - This 4.7-litre Dutch oven is the multi-purpose workhouse your kitchen needs. Like all Lodge Dutch ovens, it is made of heavyweight cast iron for even heating. It comes with a tight-fitting, rounded lid that features basting spikes designed to direct collected moisture back to the food. Ideal for use on any type of cooktop, this Dutch oven is great for everything from braising a pot roast to baking a perfect loaf of sourdough.
