Fact: Soap isn't necessary, but you can use mild dish soap to clean cast iron. The seasoning on Lodge cast iron is fairly resilient and can withstand a little bit of soap, water, and a good scrub with a brush.

Fact: Think again! While rust can happen, it can be easily removed; simply scrub the area with steel wool and follow our easy steps to re-season your cast iron pan. To prevent rust from returning, dry promptly after each use, and finish with a light layer of cooking oil.

Fact: Great news — we do that for you! We spray a thin layer of vegetable oil onto the surface and bake it at a high temperature in a large oven to season the cookware before it leaves the foundry.

Fact: These foods, in small quantities, are just fine to cook in brand new cookware. But large amounts of very acidic or alkaline foods can break down the seasoning when cooked for extended periods of time. If it removes too much seasoning, simply follow our steps to re-season your cast iron cookware.

Fact: Even though your new cookware is seasoned and ready to use, it's still important to care for your cookware after each use. Wash with warm water, dry promptly, and rub with oil — that's it.

Fact: Cast iron is incredibly durable, but it's not indestructible. Keep in mind that cast iron will break before it bends and should still be treated with care like any other piece of cookware.

Fact: Unlike other companies that use paint for a black sheen, Lodge seasoning is 100% natural. The oil is baked on during the manufacturing process, and the black patina that remains is a carbon deposit left by the oil on the skillet.

Fact: Your new cookware is right at home on – or in – any heat source, indoors or outside, except the microwave.

When using our double burner items on an induction cooktop, your stove should have a bridge element to prevent the cookware from heating unevenly.
