This is the Lodge 13.25-inch skillet — the step between the 12-inch family pan and the 17-inch extra-large skillet. At 13.25 inches it handles a full pan of pan-seared chicken thighs, a double batch of roasted vegetables, or a family-size skillet dinner without needing the two-handed lift the 17-inch demands.
It’s the skillet for households that outgrew the 12-inch but don’t want to jump all the way to the 17-inch — roughly 30% more cooking surface than the 12-inch, still manageable with one hand when empty. Pre-seasoned at the foundry and oven-safe to any temperature.
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.
