Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

Lodge has been making cast iron in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896, and the 10.25-inch skillet is their flagship for good reason. It sears steaks better than pans costing five times as much, goes from stovetop to oven to campfire, and literally gets better with age as the seasoning builds. Your grandkids will cook with it. In an era of disposable nonstick pans that peel after a year, Lodge cast iron is a buy-it-once, use-it-forever proposition.
