NOTE: The Blacklock Double Burner Griddle (BL77DGINT) is compatible with induction cooktops. When using our double burner items on induction cooktops, your stove should have a bridge element to ensure the cookware heats evenly (and to prevent a cool spot in the middle). Helpful tip: preheating cast iron slowly helps to ensure more even heating.

Care Instructions:

Triple Seasoned:

• Blacklock, like all Lodge cast iron, has natural cooking oil baked onto the surface. This forms a protective layer for an easy-release finish. The difference? Blacklock is seasoned three times, making the surface naturally non-stick.
• The more you cook with your cast iron, the better the seasoning.
• Treat your Blacklock investment just as you would Lodge Cast Iron.

Care:

• We know highly acidic and alkaline foods can feel daunting when using cast iron cookware, but after only a few uses with the triple seasoned finish, we encourage you to feel free to introduce these foods to your pan.
• Safe to use on any heat source or cooking surface, whether indoors or outside.
• Always lift cookware on smooth-top stoves.
• Always take precaution to protect your hands when dealing with a heated pan.
• Take care of your cast iron and itll last for generations. Simply wash, dry, and rub with oil before you put it away. Thats it!
• Did you know you can use soap? While you usually dont need it, there may be times where you have some tough baked-on foodor a lingering odor or taste (think: fish). A little soap will refresh your pan and keep your seasoning intact.
• Use on all cooking surfaces, grills and campfires (including induction).
• Oven safe.
• Saut, sear, fry, bake, grill and stir fry to hearts content.

Nestled alongside the Cumberland Plateau of the Appalachian Mountains is the town of South Pittsburgh, Tennessee in the U.S.A (population 3,300). It was here that Joseph Lodge and his wife settled and, in 1896 opened his first foundry. They created a legacy of quality that has thrived through two World Wars and the Great Depression and is still carried on by his family today. Both the CEO and Chairman are Joseph Lodges great-grandsons who continue to evolve the product line and improve manufacturing methods. While many worthy competitors have fallen by the wayside, Lodges dedication to quality, technology, and employees have helped it not only survive but flourish.
