This is the Lodge 6.5-inch skillet — the small-personal size in the Lodge skillet lineup. At 6.5 inches it’s the right pan for cooking a single egg, a single-serve cornbread, a personal cast iron skillet cookie, or a side dish to serve directly from the pan. Lighter and easier to handle than the bigger skillets, which makes it the typical first cast iron piece for a new cook.
It’s the skillet that goes to college apartments, small kitchens, and camping kits — compact enough to store and pack, heavy enough to still be real cast iron. Pre-seasoned at the foundry, oven-safe to any temperature, and built with the same lifetime durability as the larger Lodge skillets.
Lodge has been making cast iron cookware in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896 — the longest continuously operating cast iron foundry in the United States. Every traditional black cast iron piece in the Lodge lineup is cast, seasoned, and packed at that Tennessee foundry.
