Stop dealing with flaky chemical coatings, uneven hot spots, and delicate pans that warp under high heat. Standard non-stick frying pans easily scratch, leach toxic materials, and fail to deliver that deep, restaurant-quality crust on your proteins. The official Lodge Cast Iron 12 Inch Seasoned Skillet John Deere Hometown solves this headache by fusing generational durability with an iconic American heritage design. Its thick-walled cast iron body retains massive thermal energy for flawless, edge-to-edge searing, while the uniquely embossed hometown agricultural scene on the base transforms a kitchen workhorse into a prized collectible. This turns unpredictable, high-stress frying into a reliable, heirloom-quality cooking experience that moves seamlessly from the stove to the backyard grill.
Crafted in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, from high-density American iron, this larger-format 12-inch skillet celebrates the enduring legacy of one of America's oldest and most iconic manufacturers. Ready to cook straight out of the box, the pan is pre-seasoned at the foundry with 100% natural vegetable oil to build a chemical-free, PFAS-free non-stick surface that improves with every single use. The classic round layout incorporates dual pour spouts for mess-free grease management, an ergonomic teardrop main handle, and a practical helper assist handle for secure, two-handed maneuvering. Engineered to multi-task across open campfires, induction cooktops, heavy ovens, and glass stoves, this solid-state skillet provides the ultimate surface area for crafting your favorite farm-to-table classics.
Engineered for thermal retention, surface control, and multi-source cooking, this 12-inch skillet maintains steady temperatures during active searing, frying, and baking. The cook positions the skillet over heat before using the dual pour spouts for mess-free grease transfer. Weighing approximately 7.45 lbs, the vessel utilizes its teardrop primary handle and integrated front helper handle for secure two-handed lifting and balance, whether cooking at the campsite, serving at the family table, or displaying the piece as an agricultural heritage collectible.
