The advantages of this Lodge Deep Skillet L10DSK3 (30.48 cm) lie in its solid cast iron construction in a large format. It is beautifully deep, allowing you to flip food with a flick of the wrist without it flying out of the pan. Practical yet large enough to fry five eggs, this skillet is ideal for families, small groups, and medium-sized dishes. It is perfect for baking, cooking, frying, sautéing, and even baking cakes. Whether in the oven or on the grill, everything is possible.

The surface of the cast iron is significantly smoother than that of the average cast iron skillet. The finish is of very high quality, which is noticeably felt. After use, soap and water with a few drops of dish soap are sufficient to clean the skillet. The cast iron skillet is not dishwasher safe.

When the skillet is on a new protective layer, the steps are as follows: Clean the skillet with water and dish soap. Then place it in the oven or on the grill (160 to 200 degrees) and heat the skillet for at least thirty minutes. After that, wipe the skillet well with a cloth or paper towel. Place the skillet back in the oven or on the grill and heat it for one hour. Let it cool down and remove any excess fat. Once the skillet has cooled, re-oil it. Heat it for another hour in the oven or on the grill. Now the skillet is ready for use.

Note: The skillet has a depth of 10.01 cm, weighs approximately 4.21 kg, and has a volume of 4.73 liters. It is seasoned (ready to use) with 100% vegetable oil and is suitable for sautéing, baking (even cakes), cooking, frying, or gratins on gas, halogen, induction, and electric stoves, as well as for grilling.
