Lodge Blacklock Triple Seasoned 12" Cast Iron Lid

Lodge Blacklock Triple Seasoned 12″ Cast Iron Lid — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lodge Blacklock Triple Seasoned 12″ Cast Iron Lid?

The Lodge Blacklock 12″ lid is a cast iron cover designed to complement Lodge’s Blacklock cookware line. It features a **triple seasoned™** finish and moisture-locking design to keep dishes juicy and flavorful while cooking.

What are its features and specifications?

• Triple seasoned surface for natural nonstick performance right out of the box
• Self-basting tips under the lid to recirculate moisture back onto food during cooking
• Raised high-heat aluminum knob for easier lifting, even when hot
• Lighter than traditional Lodge cast iron lids — designed to reduce weight while maintaining performance
• Fits 12″ Blacklock cookware, such as Dutch ovens, skillets, and fry pans
• Oven and broiler safe (within cast iron’s limits)
• Made in the USA in Lodge’s Tennessee foundry

How should I use this lid?

• Place it on a compatible 12″ Blacklock pot or skillet to trap heat and moisture.
• The self-basting tips help drip condensed moisture back onto food, keeping it from drying out.
• Use in oven, on grill, or in other heat sources compatible with cast iron (just be mindful of heat limits).
• Always use a mitt or glove to lift — even with the aluminum knob, the lid will get hot.

How do I care for it?

• Hand wash only (avoid dishwashers) with warm water; avoid harsh detergents or scrubbers.
• Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust.
• After drying, apply a thin coat of oil to maintain the seasoning.
• Store in a dry place, and avoid bumping or dropping (cast iron lids are heavy and can crack or chip).

What are the advantages and limitations?

Advantages:
• Lightweight design compared to standard cast iron lids
• Triple-seasoned finish helps reduce sticking and improves ease of clean-up
• Self-basting design keeps food moist and flavorful
• Fits the Blacklock system, letting you mix and match lids and cookware
• Durable, long lasting, and made in the USA
Limitations / cautions:
• Being cast iron, the lid still becomes extremely hot — cautious handling is a must
• It only works properly with cookware of matching diameter (12″ for this lid)
• Over time, seasoning may wear; periodic re-oiling is required
• Heavy — the lid itself adds weight to your cookware when in place
