Seasoned with oil for a natural, easy-release finish that improves with use
Easy care. Hand wash, dry, rub with cooking oil
Made in USA
Great for induction cooktops
Unparalleled heat retention for even heating
CamelCamelCamel.
I finish cooking, wipe it out and then I just wash mine with hot water and a scrubbing brush, then re-oil it and put it away for next use.
I bake it 2-3 times when I first get a new pan at max heat for 2hrs and then leave it in there until cool. Then for regular use just water + brush to clean and then reheat on the hob to dry. If it looks a bit sad and dry (matte?) I might give it a spritz with oil (those decor spray bottles are handy for this). Shouldn’t need to re-bake it unless you accidentally burn off the seasoning with too much heat or acid.
This is what I do. Oven season to create the base layers, then just wash and oil after each use.
Mine are starting to look a little shabby so an oven re-seasoning may be on the cards….it's been 3-4yrs since I originally did it.
Finish cooking, stove fire to dry and then wipe down with oil. Don't use metal to clean the cast iron
The chain mail scrubbers have been recommended for removing tough grime from cast iron, but definitely don't use steel wool to clean.
I haven't used a chain mail one to be fair, but even lodge sell them for use on their products.
Chainmail scrubber was the best thing I bought for my cast iron skillet. It’s very good for removing burnt stuff. Maybe next I will buy some cooking lessons.
I had a cheap cast griddle pan from aldi, after 1st cook it cleaned up easy with hot water and a soft scrubber.
Will see how cook number 2 goes…
Years of cooking with metal utensils and cleaning with steel wool has given the bottom of my pan a baby smooth finish. I can cook eggs on it without oil if I get the pan hot enough.
You'll need a way finer grit and a lot of manual effort to sand away the seasoned layer.
I wash with water and a brush, then apply some oil and wipe it with a paper towel, pop it on the stove for 3 minutes to dry and then put it away
For a brand new pan, I would wash with dish washing soap to get all the factory/supply chain dirt and grime out. Once clean and dry, I'd season it with high breaking point cooking oil (please dont try your Shells or Mobil 1s :-)) and let it sit, ready to cook.
I have used Avocado Oil (Coles own brand is fine) a lot initially to bed the seasoning in. My pan required a few applications before it got to satisfactory levels. Now I cook, clean it with hot running water (no soap required usually), dry it and spread a few drops of oil and put it away.
I was told if you can do fried eggs without sticking, your pan is well seasoned!
I'd just add to this that with lodge i sand them down first with an electric sander. They're not finished well enough to create a smooth seasoned surface.

Oil Salt and Heat.
I never seem to get seasoning to work even baking 3 or 4 times…
Eggs and bacon stick like a mofo
You need to heat it more. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2021/03/08/preheating-sk…
The trick is to get to the Leidenfrost point, to stop sticking
I think this version may be the same but with a lid for just under $20 extra (currently $55.17), if worthwhile:

Free shipping not working for me even though I have Prime (delivery $45.16). It says not available with Prime Shipping.
You need to scroll down to other sellers and choose Amazon AU. Should get free shipping (although the shipping time blows out).

Im having the same issue, Amazon AU doesnt seem to be an option for the 12 inch anymore
Thank you! Been eyeing one for ages but didn’t want to pay Oz prices.
Is this deal still available? If not please either advise or mark as expired..
$37.54 + $45.16 delivery, not applicable anymore ….
Still shows $37.54 + free prime delivery for me. The seller is Amazon AU.
It was not available from Amazon AU for many days, It came back again today, so you can place an order but it is currently Out of Stock and Amazon will notify the shipping date.
It is a good buy, hopefully they deliver it soon.
Might be good for everyone that picked up a Weber in the recent eBay sale
Also what’s everyone’s tips on seasoning? I’ve just been cleaning it down, then wipe up excess, and heat on stove top.
I see others who fully bake it for hours afterwards and wondering is it really necessary?
