The Lodge 6.5-inch Cast Iron Skillet is a round cooking vessel made from cast iron in the USA. It measures 6.5 inches in diameter and weighs 1.94 pounds. The skillet is oven-safe, induction-compatible, and works on all standard heat sources including gas, electric, and open flame cooking.
Avoid massive 15-piece sets; you only need a few high-quality pieces (skillet, saucepan, stockpot). Fully clad stainless steel distributes heat much better than pans with just a thick base. Available from $12.9.
Cookware has no energy cost but requires appropriate utensils and cleaning supplies. Non-stick pans are consumables and must be replaced every few years, while cast iron lasts generations.
