Lodge 10.25" Cast Iron Skillet
by Lodge
Pre-seasoned cast iron skillet made in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Oven-safe, induction-compatible, and usable over open flame.
Why it's buy-it-for-life
Cast iron is effectively indestructible and improves with age as the seasoning builds. Redditors regularly cook on inherited Lodge and Griswold pans that are 50-plus years old, and even a rusted flea-market find can be stripped and re-seasoned back to new. Cheap enough to be a no-brainer BIFL purchase.

“This pan is older than I am and cooks better than anything nonstick I've owned. Just keep it seasoned.”
