The Little Pan That Does It All
Every kitchen needs a reliable little skillet, and this 20cm Lodge Cast Iron beauty is the sort of pan you'll reach for every single day. Perfect for frying bacon and eggs, searing a single steak, baking a gooey cookie, or toasting spices, it delivers the legendary performance Lodge has been crafting in Tennessee since 1896.
This skillet comes pre-seasoned at the Lodge foundry with 100% natural vegetable oil, so it arrives ready to cook, no seasoning session required. With every use, that seasoning only gets better, developing a naturally non-stick surface that's totally unique to your pan and your cooking. From the stovetop to the oven, BBQ, induction, campfire, or even straight onto the table, this hardworking little skillet will become a lifelong favourite.

Pre-seasoned cast iron skillets from renowned American foundry Lodge are essential tools for the barbeque or the open fire or even in the kitchen. The factory pre-seasoning gives them a black easy care patina that takes years to achieve at home.
The Chicago Tribune said it best: " To our surprise, higher cost didn't automatically equal best performance. While the most expensive skillets certainly performed well, the skillet we liked best cost the least: the Lodge pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet."

Why You'll Love It
Small but mighty - The 20cm size is ideal for everyday jobs, fried eggs, sautéed vegetables, toasting nuts, small bakes, or perfectly seared single-serve proteins.
Pre-seasoned and ready to use - Lodge seasons each skillet with 100% natural vegetable oil, no synthetic coatings, no nasties. Just cast iron doing what it does best. Every skillet leaves the drying racks looking slightly different, and that's part of the charm. With time and use, your pan's finish will naturally even out and develop its own rich patina.
Unmatched heat retention - Cast iron absorbs, holds, and distributes heat like no other, meaning perfect browning and beautifully even cooking every time.
Built for anywhere cooking - Gas, induction, ceramic, oven, BBQ, grill, campfire, this skillet doesn't play favourites. If there's heat, it'll cook on it.
Tough enough to last generations - Lodge cast iron is famously indestructible. A little care is all it needs to go the distance.
FAQs
Is this skillet non-stick?
Not in the synthetic sense, but its natural seasoning creates a wonderfully easy-release surface that improves every time you cook.
Why does my pan look slightly different from others?
Because each piece is seasoned by hand with natural oil, every skillet has its own unique appearance. This will even out beautifully with use.
Can I use it on induction?
Absolutely, cast iron is induction friendly.
Can I use metal utensils?
Yes, cast iron is tough and can handle them.
- 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.
