Cast iron loves the oven, and pizza turns out great baked in a preheated skillet. Depending on the recipe and size of your pan, you can make either a deep dish or thin crust—which will turn out perfectly crispy and chewy—in less than 30 minutes. Add your favorite cheeses and toppings and you’ve got a quick, delicious dinner that’s better than anything delivered.

Cast iron’s heat retention is ideal for cooking steak and giving it a perfect sear. You can preheat your Lodge skillet in the oven for perfect heat distribution and then cook your steak on the stove, or even finish off your sear in the oven. Whichever recipe you try, you should come out with a perfectly cooked steak in just a few minutes.
