COOKING AND CARING FOR YOUR CAST IRON
Caring for your cast iron doesn’t have to be complicated. Lodge cookware comes already seasoned and ready to use, so you can make your family's favorite recipes right away. You can use it on any heat source, from the stove top to the campfire (just not the microwave). The more you use it, the better the seasoning will get.
After hand washing your cookware, simply place it on a burner for a few minutes to dry and then rub on a thin layer of the cooking oil of your choice. For extra messy situations, simmer some water in your pan and then use a pan scraper after it’s cooled. For excellent maintenance, and to prevent rust, always dry promptly and store in a cool, dry place.
MADE IN THE USA
Tucked between the Appalachian Mountains and the Tennessee River you’ll find the small town of South Pittsburg, TN; a town that Lodge is proud to call home. It’s built on family values, American history, and high quality cookware. All Lodge seasoned cast iron and carbon steel cookware is proudly made in the USA, meaning you’ll get the craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.Care -If the seasoning on your pan is sticky, this is a sign of excess oil building up and not fully converting to seasoning. To remedy this, place the cookware in the oven, upside down on the top rack and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Allow to cool and repeat if necessary. Maximum Heating Temperature 500 Fahrenheit.
YOUR NEW GO-TO PAN: Lodge cast iron cookware is the perfect kitchen tool for beginners, home cooks and chefs. Cast iron can handle any kitchen cooktop, oven, grill, and open flame. Crafted in America with iron and oil, its naturally seasoned cooking surface creates an easy-release and improves with use.
SEASONED COOKWARE: Seasoning is simply oil baked into the iron, giving it a natural, easy-release finish and helps prevent your pan from rusting. Lodge pre-seasons all cast iron cookware with 100% natural vegetable oil: no synthetic coatings or chemicals. The more you use Lodge the better the seasoning will get!
RUST? DON’T PANIC! IT’S NOT BROKEN: When your pan arrives you may notice a spot that looks like rust. It is simply oil that has not fully carbonized. With regular use and care the spot will disappear. If you do notice rust simply scour the affected area with steel wool, wash with warm water, dry completely, and rub with vegetable oil.
COOKING VERSATILITY: Our skillets have unparalleled heat retention that gives you edge-to-edge even cooking every time you use your skillet. Cast iron cookware is slow to heat up but retains heat longer which makes cast iron ideal for pan-frying and roasting, these delicious moments are cast to last.

Title: A Very High Quality Pan.
Review: Not too long ago, my wife and I had been discussing replacing our most used aluminum, Teflon coated skillet. The Teflon was chipping off, and my wife and I didn't think that was very healthy. We have a Lodge 12" cast iron skillet, but we needed something bigger since we were used to the size of our old 14" skillet. We decided to take a chance on the Lodge 17" skillet, and we're very happy with our decision. The pan came to us double boxed, and packed very well for a 15 Lbs. package. Even though the pan is pre-seasoned, I recommend seasoning it yourself. This is very easy, and it takes only an hour. Slather the inside of the pan with the oil of your choice, I use canola, but any will do. Turn your oven on to 350 degrees, then put your pan upside down onto the top rack, and cook your pan for an hour. If you go hotter, the oil in the pan will start smoking really badly. Also, put a piece of tin foil on the rack under the pan to catch the drippings. This pan is huge, very heavy and stable. Having such a large cooking surface is a joy. If you use this pan on your stove you can put this pan across two burners, although on mine it makes it across 1 1/2 burners. Make sure that you allow longer for cast iron to heat up, but once it's hot, it will retain the heat very nicely. Everyone says not to go over medium heat, but I find that you need to stay well below medium or else you start to burn off your oil or butter. The first night that I had it, I cooked chicken fajitas, and they turned out great. I noticed that the main cooking zones were right over the two burners, even though the whole pan got hot. As I was cooking the chicken, I moved the more cooked pieces to the sides of the pan, and rotated the uncooked pieces into the hot zones. I did the same thing when I was cooking the onions and peppers. If you use this pan on a barbecue you could get a much more even heat. Cast iron skillets are made for cooking breakfast. One morning I cooked eggs, and my home made bacon at the same time, there was plenty of room. Pancakes turned out perfect, lots of room for flipping. One morning I needed to cook bacon for four people, so I just lined the whole pan with a layer of bacon and put it in the oven at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Not only did it come out perfect, but the clean up is much easier using that method. Several reviews I read said that the reviewer was returning the pan because everything stuck to the pan. For pancakes and eggs, you have to coat the cooking area liberally with butter. Every time that you cook another round, you need to put more butter or oil on the cooking surface. General cast iron cleaning and care is pretty easy. After I finish cooking, I pour off the oil, I scrape out any dried material, then I rinse the pan out with hot water and a scrub brush. You can use some dish soap during the light scrub, it won't hurt the season. Towel dry the pan, and put a light coat of oil inside the pan. Then, put the pan back on the stove and warm the pan back up to evaporate any water left on it. Any water left on the pan will cause rust. If you ever get any rust, just scrub down with a green pad and re-season. If you get this pan and take the time to learn how to cook with cast iron, you will never want to cook on anything else. The size and quality of this pan is phenomenal.

Title: Impressive Size and Quality!
Review: This pan is absolutely massive! While it may be larger than what I initially needed, I was aware of its size when I made the purchase. It’s a fantastic cast iron pan—excellent quality with no issues whatsoever. My only challenge now is figuring out where to store it when it’s not in use. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase!

Title: Huge and very heavy
Review: Great for cooking large quantities of food. Seasoning is OK out of the box, but no where at the level of my older cast iron [10in] pan. It'll take some time until it gets to that non stick level. Heat distribution is obviously not going to be optimal if used on a regular stove. It'll be hotter right underneath the flame. But that's to be expected. All in all I'm happy with this pan and would recommend if you like cooking with cast iron.

Title: Nice heat distribution...
Review: I cooked already several meals in it, from fried rice to burgers and pasta dishes... I love the build quality... it's big and heavy, no stickiness from the food, but you have to properly maintain the seasoning of course. Great value for money, this pan will last for ever

Title: Go to pan for grill
Review: Love using this skillet for high temp cooking/browning on the grill. The sides keep food from falling on the grill and the cast iron keeps it's heat. It's big, which makes it easy to work in and it just fits into the farmer's sink in the kitchen for easy cleaning.

Title: Huge, which is what I wanted, but…
Review: I wanted this for a little more room on some of my regular one pot meals. It’s definitely got the room, but I’m struggling to find a lid that will fit. I missed my return window and have not been able to use it as I intended because I need a lid for these particular dishes.

Review: After reading some of the other reviews, I took care to spend some extra time seasoning my pan before first use (it is supposed to be pre-seasoned but I wasn't taking any chances). Due to the size of the pan, this had to be done on the hob as it doesn't fit in my standard oven. I've not had any problems at all with the pan and have so far used it to cook bacon, eggs, chicken, and some stir fried veg. I'm very pleased with it and it is good to be able to cook for the whole household in one pan in one go rather than slaving over the hot stove cooking in batches. I do use it on my extra large central gas burner where there is plenty of room.
