This is the Lodge 5-piece cast iron set — the starter bundle for someone setting up a cast iron kitchen from scratch. The set combines two skillets in different sizes, a round griddle, and a Dutch oven, which together cover the majority of everyday cooking: eggs and sears in the skillets, pancakes on the griddle, braises and one-pot meals in the Dutch oven.
It’s the purchase that outfits a kitchen all at once rather than piece-by-piece — every pan comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, oven-safe to any temperature, and ready to cook on any stovetop including induction. With normal use, this set becomes the cookware handed down rather than replaced.
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.
