Lodge 12sk cast iron skillet Polished Smooth And Slick

Up for sale is a brand-new Lodge 12SK 12-inch cast iron skillet that has been completely transformed from its rough, factory-pebbled texture into an ultra-smooth culinary tool. Modern Lodge iron is incredibly durable, but lacks the glass-like cooking surface of vintage cookware-this custom skillet gives you the best of both worlds. The cooking surface was completely stripped and systematically ground down, progressing methodically from 40 grit up to 600 grit using power tools to level out the factory pebble finish. Directional Hand-Sanding: Between every power-grinding stage, the cooking surface was hand-sanded in a single, uniform direction. This directional micro-texture creates the perfect mechanical tooth for seasoning to grip.

The pan was hand-finished from 600 grit all the way to an incredible 1500 grit for an exceptionally smooth feel. It was then buffed with black metal polish to achieve a mirror like finish. To ensure absolute purity before cooking, the skillet was thoroughly washed in denatured alcohol, scrubbed completely clean of any residual polishing compounding, and prepped for the oven. Oven-seasoned to a beautiful, deep amber-bronze tone that will continue to darken into a rich, slick black as you cook with it.
