From the manufacturer
Pan can do it all, from deep frying to bread baking
Use & Care
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.
Lodge L8DSK3 Pre-Seasoned Deep Skillet
Pre-seasoned skillet is ready-to-use right out of the box
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.

Product Description
The Lodge Cast Iron Skillet is a multi-functional cookware that works wonders with slow-cooking recipes. This is a skillet with a deep sense of culinary art. Great for recipes requiring a little more room. Ensure a crispy texture to deep-fried foods, sear meats, simmer soups or cook casseroles without splatters. This deep skillet adds authentic country style flavor and golden browning to breads, rolls and desserts. 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.

I love how you can scrape and use stainless steel utensils without worrying about scratching cast iron. I always dry them off thoroughly after cleaning and add a little olive oil with a silicone basting brush, then put a lid on. No problems with rust doing this.
The Lodge lids are interchangeable with their other styles in the same size rim. This lid has little points on the inside that enables juices from steam to drip on the food in the pan. It also fits the Lodge carbon steel pan I bought! These are heirloom pans that will last longer than me. They are also very heavy but that aids in cooking and keeping foods warm. I can’t lift this pan with the lid on and take it off first!
I boxed up all my non-stick pans except the lids, which fit the cast iron! Sometimes old tried and true is better! If you are a newbie to using cast iron like I was Lodge has helpful information. MADE IN USA!!!
I started making the switch to cast iron about six months ago. My husband cooks, I don't; he didn't want cast iron, I did. The deal that we had before the cast iron continued--he cooks, I clean. He has no complaints (other than the weight, from time to time), and that he sometimes forgets to put the insulated handle on before grabbing the handle of the pan. But that's "operator error", nothing to do with the pan itself. I switched to cast iron because of the toxicity of nonstick coatings, such as Teflon. Cast iron is better for your health, it will last generations with proper care, it does not offgas toxic fumes, and it does not flake like nonstick coatings which, it is recommended, have to be discarded.
My 11-year-old has taken a great interest in cooking and watches cooking shows a lot, namely on the Food Network. He is very aware of tools used and techniques employed, and noted that many of the chefs and cooks use cast iron, and the ease and sometimes importance of being able to leave the food in the pan but transferring the pan from the stove to the oven. Only with cast iron can you do this safely.
Self-basting lids (when lids are used) help to evenly distribute "condensation", keeping the food uniformly moist. I researched pans vs. Dutch ovens, skillets vs. frying pans, handle vs. tab, and am very happy with all my purchases. If you are thinking about purchasing cast iron, of course consider your needs, but also look carefully at product descriptions as to size of pan (diameter and depth), and try different search terms as this will sometimes yield different results. The terms 'skillet', 'frying pan', 'deep fryer', and 'chicken fryer' will give you a bigger variety of similar pans from which to choose. I would also recommend paying a little more for an American-made product (I prefer Lodge; it has a long history to look at); they are heavier (better quality, more evenly distribute the heat); and American products from a reputable company will more than likely follow governmental guidelines for safety. What you're cooking in the pan will go in your body; be cognizant about what can leach from the pan into the food.
First off, I have fallen in love with Cast Iron (CI)!! CI when you take the little bit more time to keep properly seasoned, almost never has food stick. Even then it's really easy to clean. It's wonderful, but if you have a glass top stove you need to be careful to NOT drop it or be rough with it on the glass top. Fantastic with GAS ranges.
But, THIS PAN IS DEEP! It's BIG! We do many dishes that we cannot do in the standard 12in. CI pan. It would run over the edge. THIS one we just did spaghetti where we just toss everything in the pan once the ground beef is done. Sauce, Meat, Pasta, all together and it's great. LOTS of room! Yes it's heavier. If weight is a problem for you then this might not work for you. Our "Mexican Lasagna", our Skillet Meatloaf, our Skillet Lasagna, we have room in this pan. Our Shepard's Pie is great to cook up in this partly because we can set it up well in the pan and just slide into the oven! CI is great for that too!
Weight is an issue for some people. This pan IS even heavier than the regular 12" CI pan. I personally LOVE the weight because you can stir your stuff and not push the pan around the stove! It stays where you put it! Great for foods that normally stick. My Wife's potstickers require very little effort to pop off the bottom of the pan.
Cleanup is easy, and I use either the CI 12in. cover or a 12in. glass cover that fits it from another pan. Never have to scrape food out of a pan anymore.

Update after almost a month of using regularly: This skillet is amazing! It is a bit too big, so I might recommend the non-deep version however, this is brilliant nonetheless. At first, I struggled to get the pan hot enough (which makes it nonstick) but now, no problem! Also, even if you cook eggs in it and don't clean it, it doesn't smell. and I'm super sensitive to smells! I stopped washing it (I know it sounds disgusting but trust me on this) and omg this pan amazes me everytime I use it <3 bought a tiny 8inch version too. Excited to bake breads in that one. This is too big, won't fit in my microwave convection oven!
