This 10 1/4-inch Lodge Skillet works on every type of cooktop—including induction— and it can even be used for campfire cooking, if it comes to it.

But one of the best things about this pan has to be that it comes pre-seasoned. This means that it is naturally nonstick right out of the box. You can use less oil to cook foods without worrying about chiseling bits off your pan's surface. And, the more you use it, the more seasoned—or nonstick—the pan will become.
