The Lodge seasoning procedure is a multiple-step process in which the seasoning oil is applied via an electrostatic spray system that coats the cookware, then it’s baked in commercial ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron. This seasoning process achieves a seasoned finish that would take many months of home use to achieve. The factory seasoning process makes Lodge cast iron products ready to use right out of the box, and the product over time “Just keeps getting better”.

And this little cast-iron pan is meant to be around forever--the manufacturer has been making them since 1896! Cast iron is the original nonstick cooking surface--with proper care and seasoning, it turns glossy black, with a hard "crust" that makes sticking a near-impossibility.
