Your Everyday Baking Hero
There’s something deeply satisfying about baking in cast iron, the even browning, the perfectly shaped loaves, and that robust, heirloom feel you just don’t get from many tins. The Lodge Cast Iron Loaf Pan brings all of that old-school reliability into your kitchen, giving you beautifully baked results every time, whether you're crafting a golden sourdough loaf or whipping up a hearty meatloaf for the family.
Crafted in the USA from iron and oil, this pan is naturally seasoned to deliver an easy-release surface that only gets better the more you use it. The loaf pan's naturally seasoned baking surface won't dent, bend, or warp at high temperatures. With its generous 9-cup capacity, it’s perfect for everything from brioche and banana bread to terrines, pâté, savoury loaves and dense fudgy brownies. Cast iron’s legendary heat retention ensures a crisp, even crust and well-defined edges, while the dual handles make lifting in and out of the oven effortless and safe.
Durable, dependable, and designed to last for generations, this is the loaf pan that turns simple baking moments into something special.

FAQ’s
Why choose cast iron for baking?
Cast iron heats evenly and retains heat beautifully, giving you consistent bakes and superior crusts.
Is the seasoning a coating?
No, Lodge seasoning is simply baked-on vegetable oil. It is not a synthetic coating, so slight colour variations or 'patchy' appearances are completely normal and will even out with use.
Why does my pan look slightly different from the photos?
Every piece is individually seasoned at the foundry, and the oil can settle differently as it dries. Each pan is unique, and the seasoning will continue to develop as you cook.
Can I use this pan for more than bread?
Absolutely, it’s brilliant for cakes, slices, lasagne, meatloaf, terrines, and even chilled desserts.
Will it scratch or mark?
You may see small marks or wear patterns over time; this is completely normal for seasoned cast iron and shows the pan is building its natural patina.
- Hand wash and dry immediately, even before first use.
- Rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after every wash.
- How much oil? Enough to restore the sheen, without being 'sticky.' Why? To keep the iron 'seasoned' and protected from moisture.
- It's okay to use a little soap when needed, just make sure you dry thoroughly and apply a little oil afterwards.
A Note on Pre-Seasoning & Natural Variations
Lodge cast iron arrives pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil, and because this is a natural, hand-applied seasoning (not a synthetic coating), every piece will look slightly different straight out of the box. You may notice small marks, tonal variations, or areas where the seasoning appears lighter or darker. This is completely normal and simply reflects how the oil has settled and dried on the racks during the seasoning process.
As you cook, your pan will continue to build its own seasoning layer, becoming darker, smoother, and more naturally non-stick over time. These are signs that your cookware is bedding in beautifully and gaining character with every meal. With regular use and a light oiling after cleaning, your pan will only get better, stronger, and more uniquely yours.
What Makes Lodge Different?
For over 125 years, Lodge has been casting iron cookware in Tennessee using time-honoured methods and sustainable practices. Every piece is made in the USA, built to last generations, and designed to become the pan your grandchildren fight over. This is cookware with soul, the kind that earns its place on your stovetop and in your family's stories.
