Lodge 12-Inch Deep Cast Iron Skillet — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lodge 12-Inch Deep Cast Iron Skillet?

The Lodge 12-inch deep skillet (often model L10D or L10Dsk3) is a heavier, deeper version of the classic Lodge cast iron skillet. It includes higher sidewalls (about 1″ extra depth) so it can handle more volume—great for frying, braising, baking, and one-pan meals.

What are its specifications and features?

• Diameter: 12″
• Depth / height (inside): ~ 3.25″ (i.e. “deep” over standard)
• Material: cast iron, factory pre-seasoned for initial use
• Safe for all heat sources: stovetop (gas, electric, induction), oven, grill, even open fire / campfire
• Comes with an assist (helper) handle for better handling of the heavier pan
• Often sold with a matching lid (for covered cooking) in certain SKUs (e.g. L10CF3)
• Excellent heat retention and thermal stability (classic cast iron trait)

How should I use the deep skillet effectively?

• Use it for higher-volume dishes: stews, deep frying, braises, or skillet baking (like cornbread)
• Because of its depth, keep an eye on heat—preheating properly helps avoid hotspots
• Use the assist handle when lifting, especially when full, to avoid strain
• The extra walls help reduce oil splatter when frying or searing
• It transitions well from stovetop sear to oven finish (sear then roast)

How do I clean and maintain it?

• Wash by hand (warm water, mild soap optional) and scrub gently if needed. Avoid harsh abrasives.
• Dry completely immediately to prevent rust.
• After drying, rub in a thin layer of cooking oil (flaxseed, vegetable, etc.) to help maintain seasoning.
• Use regularly to build up and maintain the seasoning layer—each use helps it improve.
• If rust or food build-up occurs, you can re-season (strip, dry, oil, bake) as needed.

What are the advantages and potential drawbacks?

Advantages:
• More usable volume thanks to deeper walls
• Strong heat retention and even heating
• Versatile: suitable for many cooking methods and heat sources
• Durable and long lasting with proper care
Limitations / considerations:
• Heavier, especially when full—lifting and handling may be a challenge
• More surface area to maintain seasoning
• Heating up may take a bit more time due to greater mass
• Use care with thermal shock (e.g. don’t plunge a hot skillet into cold water)
