Lodge Blacklock Triple Seasoned Skillet Set — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lodge Blacklock Triple Seasoned Skillet Set?
This is a cookware set from Lodge’s Blacklock line, typically including two (or more) cast iron skillets with a **triple-seasoned™** finish. The set offers the benefits of cast iron — heat retention, durability — in a modern design with lighter weight and improved seasoning.
What are its features and specifications?
• Skillets included (common configuration): e.g. **8″ and 10.25″** or other size pairing
• Triple-seasoned™ finish: natural, factory-applied nonstick without synthetic coatings
• Blacklock engineered design: lighter walls compared to traditional cast iron while retaining performance
• Elevated handles and helper lugs (depending on model) for easier grip and handling
• Pour spouts or wide rims for easier pouring (depending on model)
• Compatible with stovetop, oven, grill, induction, and open flame
• Made in USA, PFAS/PTFE free
How do I use the set for best results?
• Preheat the skillet gradually — cast iron works best when heated evenly
• Use the appropriate skillet size for your food (smaller for eggs, larger for steaks, etc.)
• Use oil or fat early in cooking to protect the seasoning and aid in release
• Avoid crowding the pan so food sears rather than steams
• Use both the long handle and helper lug when carrying a pan that is full or hot
• After use, let the pan cool slightly before cleaning to reduce thermal shock
How should I care for and maintain the skillet set?
• Always hand wash using warm water; avoid dishwasher
• Use soft brushes or sponges; avoid harsh abrasives that strip the seasoning
• Dry immediately and thoroughly — optionally warm lightly over flame to evaporate moisture
• After drying, apply a thin coat of cooking oil to maintain and build seasoning
• Store in a dry place; if stacking, place a cloth or paper between pans to protect surfaces
• Over time, the seasoning will deepen — when the surface becomes dull or sticky, re-season by applying oil and baking at high heat
What are the advantages and limitations of this set?
Advantages:
• You get multiple skillet sizes with matching design and finish
• Triple-seasoned surface gives better nonstick characteristics out of the box
• Lighter design than classic heavy cast iron — easier to handle
• Durable and versatile across heat sources
• With consistent design, seasoning, and handling practices, the set performs cohesively
Limitations / cautions:
• Still heavier than non-iron pans — care required in handling full or hot skillets
• The finish (seasoning) must be maintained — misuse can degrade the surface
• Because the pans may have thinner walls, they might respond more quickly to temperature fluctuations
• Some foods may still require glycerin or extra fat for perfect release
• The set’s value and convenience depend on which sizes are included — make sure you get the size(s) you actually use
