This classic Lodge pan, which happens to be our pick for best cast-iron skillet, will last a lifetime, and now you can score it for an all-time low price.

It comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so while you can do another round of seasoning yourself, you can also opt to get cooking right out of the box. Some foods might stick a bit so you’ll have to learn how to clean cast iron, but we found in our testing that you’ll still get nice flips from fried eggs and a great color when you sear steak. Plus, the sides are deep enough for deep frying.
