If you have yet to add cast iron to your kitchen arsenal, you’re missing out on one of the most versatile and durable cookware options out there—the perfect pans for whipping up everything from a mouthwatering blueberry crumble to a flank of perfectly cooked steak. And now might just be the best time to add cast iron to your kitchen, as Amazon has cooked up a range of discounts on Lodge’s tried-and-true cookware. From traditional skillets that can be passed down for generations to ribbed grill pans that can take your barbeque to the next level, this trusted brand’s cast iron cookware line has plenty of products you need.

Cast iron has been used to cook for centuries, and for good reason—it boasts a range of unique properties that you won’t be able to find in stainless steel, non-stick, or aluminum cookware varieties. For anyone who hates scraping burnt remnants off their cookware, cast iron has a naturally non-stick finish without the addition of chemicals like perfluorocarbons that are often used in nonstick pans. Cooking with a cast iron pan also naturally adds iron into your food, which can benefit anyone who has an iron deficiency or anemia, which affects around 10 million people in the United States alone.

Aside from these health benefits, cast iron also lasts longer than any other type of cookware and is often passed down for generations with proper care. While most cookware loses quality over time, cast iron improves in flavor as oils and seasoning seep deeper into the surface. You can also take a cast iron skillet just about anywhere—they can be used on a campfire, grill, oven, and stovetop, so one pan can become a multifunctional tool that you cook with year-round.
