Does the John Deere logo affect cooking or cleaning?

The logo is a shallow relief cast into the metal, so it becomes part of the seasoned surface. It does not create hot spots or interfere with spatulas. Clean it the same way you would any cast iron—wipe or scrub after cooking, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of oil.

Can I use this on an induction cooktop?

Yes. Cast iron works on induction, gas, electric coil, glass-top, and open fire. It also goes directly into the oven at any temperature.

How do I maintain the pre-seasoning?

Cook with fat regularly—butter, oil, or bacon grease all help build the patina. After each use, wash with hot water, dry completely, and rub a very thin layer of oil onto the surface while it is still warm. Avoid soaking the pan or leaving it wet.

Is this dishwasher safe?

No. The dishwasher will strip the seasoning and promote rust. Hand wash with water and a stiff brush, then dry and oil immediately.

Cast iron skillet with John Deere heritage branding

Most commemorative cookware trades function for decoration—thin metal with a logo stamped on the handle. This skillet is the opposite: a foundry-grade Lodge pan that happens to carry John Deere's mark in the iron itself. The emblem is cast, not printed, so it becomes part of the cooking surface and improves along with the seasoning. If you cook regularly and you want a pan that acknowledges a particular brand heritage without compromising on thickness or heat retention, this delivers both.

Good gift when

People who cook with cast iron and have a connection to John Deere
Anyone building a collection of American-made kitchen tools
Fans of heritage brands who actually use what they own

Skip it if If you want a skillet without visible branding in the cooking surface, or if you prefer lighter-weight pans that heat up quickly, choose unbranded cast iron or a different material entirely.

The details

This collaboration brings together two American manufacturers with deep roots in durability and function. The 10.25-inch diameter makes it the right size for weeknight dinners—two chicken breasts, four pork chops, a pan of cornbread, or a morning's worth of bacon and eggs all fit comfortably. The John Deere logo appears as a cast relief in the cooking surface, a permanent mark that connects the pan to the agricultural heritage both companies share.

Lodge seasons each skillet at the foundry before it ships, so the surface is ready for cooking the day it arrives. The black patina develops further with use, building a smoother, more nonstick finish over time. Cast iron holds and radiates heat differently than coated aluminum or stainless steel—it takes longer to come up to temperature, but once it does, it stays there. That consistency is what makes it reliable for searing, baking, and frying.

The single-piece construction has no rivets, no welds, and no coating to flake or peel. You can use metal utensils, slide it into a hot oven, or set it directly over a campfire. Cast iron cookware lasts for decades when maintained, and the seasoning improves with regular cooking in fat. This particular skillet adds a recognizable emblem to a foundry method that has not fundamentally changed in over a century.
