Lodge Signature Seasoned Cast-Iron Covered Casserole with Stainless-Steel Handles

This 12-inch Signature Series covered casserole makes a beautiful addition to any kitchen. The pan's two gleaming stainless-steel loop-style handles add a real touch of class to the black cast iron, as does the ergonomic stainless-steel knob on the tight-fitting lid. But it's not all about looks. The cast-iron pan heats thoroughly on the stovetop and features straight 2-1/2-inch sides that keep in splatter and juices from browning and braising meats. Fill with your favorite lasagna, mac-and-jack, or turkey tetrazzini and bake in the oven. Both the base and lid are oven-safe, so a dish can be started on the stovetop and placed in the oven for baking. The pre-seasoned finish helps prevent food from sticking and rust from developing. To take care of the cast-iron finish, simply scrub the pan by hand after use with a stiff brush (never steel wool) under hot water, and dry immediately. If the handles discolor from oven-use or over-heating, they may be cleaned with stainless-steel cleaner. Cast in the USA, the casserole matches other pieces in the Signature Series and is covered with a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri
