About this item

  • YOUR GO-TO COMBO COOKER: Lodge cast iron cookware is the perfect kitchen tool for beginners, home cooks and chefs. Cast iron can handle any kitchen cooktop, oven, grill, and open flame. Crafted in America with iron and oil, its naturally seasoned cooking surface creates an easy-release and improves with use.
  • SEASONED COOKWARE: Seasoning is simply oil baked into the iron, giving it a natural, easy-release finish and helps prevent your pan from rusting. Lodge pre-seasons all cast iron cookware with 100% natural vegetable oil: no synthetic coatings or chemicals. The more you use Lodge the better the seasoning will get!
  • RUST? DON’T PANIC! IT’S NOT BROKEN: When your pan arrives you may notice a spot that looks like rust. It is simply oil that has not fully carbonized. With regular use and care the spot will disappear. If you do notice rust simply scour the affected area with steel wool, rinse, dry, and rub with vegetable oil.
  • COOKING VERSATILITY: Our skillets have unparalleled heat retention that gives you edge-to-edge even cooking every time you use your skillet. Cast iron cookware is slow to heat up but retains heat longer which makes cast iron ideal for pan-frying and roasting, these delicious moments are cast to last.
  • FAMILY-OWNED: Lodge is more than just a business; it is a family. The Lodge family founded the company in 1896, and they still own it today. From environmental responsibility to community development, their heads and hearts are rooted in America. Lodge products are made in the USA with non-toxic, PFOA & PTFE free material.

Welcome to my Lodge Cast Iron 10.25 inch collection
So this begin when I was wondering if I need to use the reversible skillet lid for cooking, what would serve as a lid for the larger pot so I could use both at the same time. And to add to this, I was starting to become curious about Dutch Oven bread cooking...Presenting the Lodge Cast Iron 10,25 inch lid collectionTop (Back) RowPot from 5 Quart Double Dutch Oven with Camp Dutch Oven Lid sitting on 4-in-1 Camp Dutch Oven Tool3.2 Quart Combo Cooker pot with 10.25 Cast Iron Lid10.25 Inch Dual Handle Cast Iron Grill Pan with 10.25 Glass LidBottom (Front) Row10.25 Inch Seasoned Cast Iron Baker's Skillet with Reversible Skillet Lid from 5 Quart Double Dutch Oven10.25 Inch Cast Iron Skillet with Reversible Skillet Lid from 3.2 Quart Combo CookerLodge Hi-Temp Gloves, Cast Iron Trivet / Meat Rack, Grill Pan Scrapers2nd PhotoFrom left to right, we have ...5qt Double Dutch Oven with reversible Skillet / Lid3.2 Quart Combo Cooker with reversible Skillet / LidLodge Cast Iron Baker’s Skillet 10.25 inch with Cast Iron 10.25 inch LidNotice the differences in the Lid Interiors, and the differences between the Skillet Rim and the Lid RimsMy Condo bans outdoor charcoal/wood fires, so that Camp Dutch Oven Lid and Accessory tool if for my Earth Quake Survival Kit. (In the Silicon Valley, THE BIG ONE is coming !!!) Though it may be of interest to those fanatical outdoors wood fire cookers.. You're millage may vary. The Camping Dutch Oven Lid is available at the lodgecastiron.com webstore.Reversible Skillet Lids are only available with the purchase of the 3.2 Quart Combo Cooker and 5 Quart Double Dutch Oven Product (Lodge, hint hint, Add these Reversible Skillet Lids to your Lid Listing in your webstore...)Cooking Combo uses the 10.25 inch Deep Skillet. Together with the Cast Iron Lid, this combo is also known as the Lodge L8CFKPLT Cast Iron Covered Chicken Fryer, Pre-Seasoned, 3-Quart, Black, so my collection has this covered.While applying additional Seasoning Coatings, I have found that those long Skillet handles can get in the way if you are stuffing your oven with Cast Iron Pots, so that Baker's Skillet & Griddle Pan can help address thisIf you have a Cast Iron Griddle pan, then you must get one of those Griddle Scrappers, as this is the only way to remove scorched food between those griddle barsWith a 450 degree preheated Cast Iron Pot, a normal Oven Mitten will only last a few seconds before burning hot temperatures start seeping through. Using a heavy bread making loaded and VERY HOT Cast Iron Pot, you must have one of these High Temp MittensA Cast Iron Trivet is well... a Cast Iron Trivet. I wonder if you need this for bread making ???I already had a much older 10 inch square griddle pan and was looking for a lid. But at the time of this picture taking, the Baker's 10.25 inch Griddle pan on sale is the same price as the square glass lid, And I now have these matching 10.25 Lid collection to use with it. So.....I have learned that the 4 Quart Camp Oven uses a 10.25 inch lid. Because the 10 inch Camp oven lid is already in my collection, and those stubby cast iron legs makes it incompatible with my glass topped electric stove, I will not be adding this to my personal collection. This may be of interest to those outdoor camping wood fire cooking fanatics for their use...I have seen some confusion posted in the question section for the Lodge Double Dutch and the Lodge 3.2 Quart Combo Cooker and the rims used by those reversible Skillet/Lid that they use. These Skillets do not use a Skillet Rim. Instead, these Reversible Skillet / Lids use a Lid rim, for a tighter fit with a semi-pressure cooker effect. Now it is not possible to put a Lodge Lid product on top of another Lid, (Tough), but if you must have a shallower pan to use with these reversible Skillet / Lids, both the Lodge Cast Iron 10.25 inch Skillet and the Lodge Cast Iron Baker’s Skillet 10.25 inch have a perfect fit for the Reversible Skillet Lids, with one matching the Double Dutch dual D handle lid, with the other matching the Combo Cooker Skillet style lid.

  • Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2012
    It's hard to believe that people bother with expensive non-stick cookware and stainless steel pots and pans when there are cheap and well made cast iron products like the Lodge Combo Cooker. Not only are they solid, they heat evenly, can go on any cooking surface (induction, ceramic, hotplate, gas, a camp fire) and their non-stick characteristics improve as they age provided they are used correctly.

    So...what is correct use you say? To me it is using sufficient cooking fat and no more heat than necessary - you can't replace cooking time with more heat, although it is tempting given the rat race many of us now live in. I suspect many have become dependant on non-stick cookware because of the modern worlds fear of fat. Cooking without enough healthy fat - whether that be olive oil, butter from a happy pasture fed cow, cold pressed coconut oil, goose fat - is a one way express lane to a flavourless meal that you have to scrape off the bottom of the pan. Not just a cast iron pan either, but every other type of cookware but those with non-stick coatings like teflon. Even then some of your food will stick. Because your meal lacks fat that carries flavour, you'll be more likely to over season it with large amounts of salty and sugary sauces.

    Anyway, back to the review before I start ranting about fat. The combo cooker is well made, versatile, and really cheap. You can even bake delicious bread in it:

    [...]
    [...]
    [...]

    It'll also encourage good cooking technique. You'll start to understand the integral relationship of fats in food for flavour and cooking, and gain a better appreciation of heat. Cast iron heats and cools slowly, cooking with it has taught me to think about what I want to achieve with the heat I am applying.

    If you are considering cast iron for cooking, this should be your first purchase. For all of you Americans, it is even American made. How brilliant is it that you can purchase such a good, cheap product made in your own country? I wish we had a cast iron cookware manufacturer here in Australia. This is not about the Chinese, it's about buying local and keeping money circulating in your own economy wherever possible. If you're in China, that means buying Chinese, if you're in the USA, buy US made, if you're in Australia...well I'd say buy Australian, but in this case, I'd be making my own or going without. Buy local people. It makes sense!

    If you want to read more about fats in food, I recommend the following books:

    Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes
    Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health
    Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

    Also, I hear that Chad Robertson in Tartine Bread recommends the Lodge Combo Cooker for home baked no-knead bread. Looking at the results of others baking his Tartine Country Bread, this combination seems to work a treat.

    I bought the set for two reasons. I needed a higher-sided skillet for less spattering when frying messy. I have started using my skillets in the oven for baking as well as for finishing meats or cooking veggies, so I needed another. The lid was a bonus, for sure. Necessary for many recipes. For years I have wanted one for my iron. This one works on the other two skillets as well.

    The set's perfect for Southern fried chicken, Swiss steaks, stew, BBQ, steaks, fajitas. And it cleans up well. It will be even better as it matures and as I season it occasionally. Be sure to clean yours without using harsh pads or metal scrubbers.( And don't soak! At lease for more than 5 minutes.) While still hot from rinsing, rub all surfaces with olive or vegetable oil and a paper towel to keep the iron from rusting. This also promotes self seasoning during its next cooking session. For seasoning information, go to the Southern Living site or refer to the Lodge information included in the shipment.

    I was pleased that it came with something more versatile than just a prosaic lid. It works as a shallow skillet, perfect for eggs or pancakes for one. However, the sucker is as heavy as my old skillet. Weak wrists beware! Plan carefully to lift off the lid while you are cooking. It takes two hands, two potholders and mindfulness to think yourself through the operation. If you do these things, you won't burn yourself with either iron or steam.

    One disadvantage. The base is a bit small. It holds fewer pieces of food than my standard skillets. Not a reason to choose another for me. Just thought it might be useful to someone.

    I really love it. Though I've cooked with iron for 60 years, this and the Amazon deal skillet I bought this summer are my first Lodges. I have to tell you, there is a major difference! Considerably more metal is involved, which means the heat distribution is fantastic, but also that the heat rises more quickly than you might expect and lasts longer when removed from the heat source. Remember that when cooking with a Lodge and another skillet. I suppose it's the same idea as frying a steak in cast iron and green beans in stainless steel. Each takes its own timing and technique. Cook, know your tools!

    If you have been thinking about getting this set and were uncertain, let me reassure you. You can buy this set with confidence. Once you are attuned, you will reach for this skillet more often than the others. (Remember what I said about the high sides and grease spatter above? Saves so much cleanup!)

    5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely traditional cooking implement that offers life-long build quality and potential health benefits.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2015
    These pre-seasoned Lodge cast iron pans - if cared for properly - are a life-long purchase, or possibly longer, if you decide to hand them down to the next generation!
    They are beautifully made, with a clean, consistent cast, and a considerable heft, even in the smaller sizes. The iron has a tight, fine grain which produces smooth curves and crisp details on the pan, and provides a visible sense of quality. Equipping your kitchen with a set of these would be ideal if you appreciate traditional, quality items that can be passed down from generation to generation - they are genuinely 'Modern Retro'. Unchanged in design over hundreds of years, there is a sense when cooking with these that a great-great-grandmother has done the same somewhere back in the distant past. In this manner, they are eminently suitable for cooking traditional and slow-cooked dishes.

    Pros: Solid, long-lasting, high quality construction that saves on energy (as less heat is needed) and may improve the taste of your foods.
    A slower approach on a lower setting will infuse the pan with an even heat all over. The cast iron may not actually add anything taste-wise to the food being cooked, but - possibly by not taking anything away either - it definitely does help food taste better! Meats sear really well, sealing in more flavour. There is absolutely no chance of any contamination from non-stick chemicals or coatings as the pans are entirely naturally coated (cooking oil).

    Cons: Need slightly more maintenance than a modern non-stick pan, and the considerable weight can make them a bit of a handful!
    Pre-seasoning (cooked-on oil) ensures less hassle when the pan is new, and as you add to the seasoning through time, the non-stick qualities of the pan increase.
    Unlike normal non-stick pans, you can use metal kitchen implements with impunity, as the surface is practically bulletproof. However, you must wash the pan in a gentle soap solution after each use, and re-coat the pan with oil before storing it away. In practice, this only takes a couple of minutes and leaves the pan with a satisfying black lustre. Not doing it, or leaving the pan damp, can result in rust quickly forming on the raw iron. However, even this is not a disaster as a gentle scrub and re-oiling will get rid of the rust (although leaving rust on for longer could result in physical damage to the surface of the pan).
    Due to their robust construction and the nature of cast iron, these pans tend to weigh heavily, even in the smaller sizes. This helps the pan spread and retain heat evenly, but can make them a bit of a handful when moving them around the stove. As an integral part of the pan, the handles heat up at the same rate, so be careful with them! The positive side of this is that the pan can go from stove top to oven to table top (and even BBQ!) without alteration, or risk of a plastic handle melting. Buy a pair of good quality silicone mitts or oven gloves and always lift them using both handles. Lodge do silicone covers for the handles and tempered, oven-proof glass lids in sizes to fit the main pans.
    For general use, the 8" and 10" sizes should be adequate, with 12" for larger meals or extended family cooking. They are also available in deep versions that can be used as a casserole. We store ours on the gas stove top as we like the look of them so much!

    La super recomiendo. Hay que darle cuidados al final de usarla, mantenerla bien seca y ponerle una muuuy ligera capita de aceite, solo si la vas a usas seguido, si no la vas a utilizar constantemente solo hay que mantenerla muy seca y sin aceite.
