Your Little Pot of Possibility
There's something wonderfully old-school about having a dedicated little cast iron pot on the stove, the kind that melts butter without scorching it, warms sauces gently, and turns out perfect batches of herbs-in-butter, chocolate, or syrupy drizzles for baking. Lodge's Cast Iron Melting Pot might be compact, but it punches well above its weight in usefulness, charm, and sheer kitchen joy.
Crafted in the USA from heirloom-quality cast iron and seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil, it's ready to go from day one. Pop it on the stovetop, the BBQ, in the oven, or even over the campfire; cast iron's legendary heat retention keeps everything warm and silky without sudden hot spots. It's also brilliant as a countertop helper for clarifying butter, tempering chocolate, warming milk, or making small-batch sauces when you don't want to drag out a big pan.
And because it's Lodge, it's built for generations. This is the tiny pot you'll reach for far more than you expect, and the one that will quietly earn "favourite" status in your kitchen.

Why You'll Love It
Small but mighty - Perfect for melting butter, heating syrups, warming sauces, infusing oils, or prepping baking bits and pieces.
Cast iron heat magic - Even, consistent warmth that keeps things melted but not burnt, warm but not scorched.
Naturally seasoned, no coatings - Ready to use straight away thanks to Lodge's natural seasoning, which only improves with time and use.
Stovetop to campfire - Works on all cooktops, including induction, and is equally happy on the BBQ or over flame.
Classic Lodge durability - Won't warp, bend, or break. The kind of little pot you'll hand down one day.
- 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.
