Brand new LODGE lighter weight seasoned carbon steel skillet cooks exactly like the die hard heavyweights we're used to but weighs in a lot less at just over 4 lbs - 4.2 to be exact. It's easier for those who love to cook with cast iron cookware, but have a hard time with the weight. This cookware is made in the USA by well-known LODGE and comes with 9 1/4" long trademark engraved steel handle that's a little over 1" wide. Bottom of pan also has trademark design at bottom (see pics). Perfect for both inside and outside cooking. This is brand new with no defects.
