From the manufacturer

Lodge pot, BBQ sauce pot, sauce pan, cast iron pot

Used for warming butter, melting cheese, scalding milk or heating syrup

Use & Care:

While the skillet comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After cooking, we recommend cleaning with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap or the dishwasher is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used. Towel dry immediately cleaning and apply a light coating of oil to utensil while it is still warm.

Lodge LMP3 Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Melting Pot

Pre-seasoned skillet is ready-to-use right out of the box

The black patina given to the cookware by the factory seasoning process is, in fact, vegetable oil that has been baked into a piece of cookware that has emerged from an individual sand mold. This coating of oil is a functional application and not a cosmetic application. The cookware is hanging as it rides through the electrostatic sprayer and commercial conveyer ovens at very high temperatures. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron which creates an easy release finish. As a result of this process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. If visible, it will rub or flake off with your finger, leaving a brown spot. Don’t worry, it’s not rust but a seasoned spot that is brown, indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning. As a matter of fact, this is the color of home seasoned iron until it has been used several times. The brown spot will turn black with use.

Product Description

Perfect for warming butter, melting cheese, scalding milk or heating syrup. Versatile for stovetop, oven or BBQ grill. Sure to become your favorite pot for smaller portions of sauce. 15 oz capacity. Seasoned and ready to use. Measures: 9.313" L x 5.438" W x 2.875" H. Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching. It retains heat well so you can sear meat at higher temperatures and will keep your delicious meals warm for a long time. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, theses virtually indestructible cookware should last for generations. Made of cast iron, this pot evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls. Sporting a stylish black color, the cast iron pot looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. Cast Iron, like your grandmother used, still ranks as one of the best cooking utensils ever made. It gives you a nearly non-stick surface, without the possible harmful fumes generated by preheating chemically treated nonstick cookware. The American-based company, Lodge, has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century.

Old tech is a cooking game-changer for me.
5 Stars
Old tech is a cooking game-changer for me.
I don't use this melting pot very much, but when I do is really is a game changer. I recently got a great deal on some imitation "crab" meat and used this melting pot to make melted butter and garlic sauce to use as a dip. I've also used it to melt ghee so I could put it on steaks and roasts before searing or braising them. And don't get me started on pancakes!There's something about melted butter (or melted ghee) that's really awesome to cook with, and there's something about trying to melt butter in a microwave that just doesn't work, at least not for me.And about the "seasoning" that all iron cookware has to go through, in this case it comes pre-seasoned, and all I've done is melt butter in it, so it's seasoning itself just fine. I did no special procedure to season it before I started using it (like I have with iron pans) but it's doing just fine.
Thank you for your feedback
