9x13 Cast Iron Casserole Pan
This pan offers a completely natural non-stick surface through seasoning with 100% vegetable oil. It provides unparalleled heat retention and is one of the few bakeware items that actually improves with age.
Ingredients & Purity
Constructed from foundry-seasoned cast iron (iron and steel) with a natural finish of baked-on vegetable oil.
Scientific Evidence
FDA compliant for food safety. Lodge has been manufacturing cast iron in the USA since 1896 with consistent safety records.
Brand Transparency
Full disclosure of seasoning oil (soy-based vegetable oil) and manufacturing location (South Pittsburg, Tennessee).
Value Assessment
While heavier than other pans, its multi-generational lifespan and versatility (oven to stovetop) make it an incredible value.
Why Not Alternatives?
Traditional glass or ceramic baking dishes can shatter from thermal shock; cast iron is indestructible. It also lacks the synthetic chemicals found in modern 'non-stick' baking pans.
