Lodge Cast Iron Casserole Pan 9x13 in — Pre‑Seasoned, Thick-Walled Rectangular Baking Dish

The Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Casserole Pan (9 x 13 inches) is a heavy-duty, ready-to-use rectangular cast iron baking dish built for large casseroles, lasagna, roasting, and campfire cooking.

This roomy 9 x 13-inch Lodge casserole pan combines old‑world cast iron performance with a pre‑seasoned, easy-release surface so you can bake, braise, and roast reliably without a long break‑in. With tall sidewalls, integrated loop handles, and a dense cast‑iron body, it holds heat evenly for consistent browning and crisps edges on layered dishes. Made in the USA and coated with 100% vegetable oil seasoning, it’s intended to become more nonstick the more you cook with it.

How does the Lodge casserole pan perform in the oven and on the grill?

The pan’s mass and cast iron construction store and distribute heat uniformly, producing steady oven baking and even grill searing. It tolerates very high temperatures so you can start on the stovetop, finish in a hot oven, or place it directly over coals.

• Even heat retention for steady browning and slow roasts
• Safe at high temperatures — oven, grill, or campfire
• Thick walls reduce hot spots for consistent results

What foods are best to cook in a 9 x 13 cast iron casserole?

The rectangular shape and deep sides are ideal for family casseroles, multi‑layer lasagnas, baked desserts, sheet‑style cornbreads, and roasted vegetables. The nonstick seasoning helps release sticky sauces and cheesy layers cleanly.

• Lasagna, baked ziti, shepherd’s pie and layered casseroles
• Sheet desserts like cobblers or brownies that benefit from edged crisping
• Roasted chicken pieces, root vegetables, and one‑pan meals

How do I care for and maintain this seasoned cast iron pan?

Lodge ships this casserole pan pre‑seasoned with vegetable oil so it’s ready to use right away; routine care keeps that seasoning performing. Avoid soaking or dishwashers: hand wash, dry promptly, and rub with a light coat of oil after each use to protect the finish and prevent rust.

• Hand wash with warm water and a brush or nonabrasive pad
• Thoroughly dry, then warm briefly and apply a thin layer of oil
• Re‑season in the oven if food begins to stick or dull the surface

Will this pan fit in my oven and how big are the handles?

The pan measures approximately 9 x 13 inches, a standard size for many household ovens and countertop storage. Integrated loop handles provide a secure grip; use oven mitts when removing the pan from high heat as handles conduct temperature.

• 9 x 13 inches fits most conventional ovens and fits common casserole recipes
• Dual loop handles for balanced carrying — use heat protection
• Substantial weight reflects durable cast iron construction
