Lodge Cast Iron 13 1/4" Skillet Cover Lid #L12SC3 Pre-Seasoned

Transform Your Skillet into a Complete Cooking System

The Lodge 13.25-Inch Cast Iron Skillet Cover is more than just a lid—it's the secret to unlocking your skillet's full potential. This heavy-duty cast iron cover transforms your open skillet into a complete cooking vessel, trapping heat and moisture for perfectly cooked meats, vegetables, and one-pot meals. The innovative self-basting spikes on the interior continuously drip flavorful juices back onto your food, keeping everything moist and delicious.

Self-Basting Technology for Superior Flavor

The interior of this lid features raised self-basting spikes that work like magic during cooking. As steam rises from your food, it condenses on the cool lid and the spikes direct those flavorful droplets right back down onto your food. This continuous basting process:

• Keeps meats incredibly moist and tender
• Returns nutrients and flavor to your food instead of losing them to evaporation
• Creates a self-basting effect similar to expensive roasting pans
• Intensifies flavors as juices concentrate and recirculate
• Prevents food from drying out during longer cooking times

Perfect Fit for Multiple Lodge Products

This 13.25-inch diameter cover is precision-designed to fit perfectly on several Lodge cast iron pieces:

• Lodge 13.25" Skillet (L12SK3): The most popular large skillet size
• Lodge 13.25" Skillet (12SK2): Vintage model compatibility
• Lodge 12" Dutch Oven (L12DO3): Adds versatility to your dutch oven

Unlock New Cooking Possibilities

Adding this lid to your skillet opens up entirely new cooking methods:

Braising: Brown meat in your skillet, add liquid, cover, and braise to perfection. The lid traps moisture for fall-apart tender pot roasts, short ribs, and chicken thighs.

Steaming: Steam vegetables, dumplings, or seafood right in your skillet. The tight fit and self-basting spikes create the perfect steaming environment.

Simmering: Cover sauces, stews, and chilis to prevent splattering while maintaining moisture. The lid keeps your stovetop clean and your food perfectly cooked.

Oven Roasting: Use your covered skillet in the oven for roasting chicken, vegetables, or casseroles. The cast iron distributes heat evenly while the lid keeps everything moist.

Keeping Food Warm: Cover finished dishes to keep them hot until serving time. The heavy cast iron retains heat beautifully.

Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction

Made from the same quality cast iron as Lodge's legendary cookware, this 10-pound lid is built to last generations. The substantial weight creates a tight seal that locks in heat and moisture, while the integral handle stays cool enough to lift safely (use a potholder for extended cooking times).

Pre-Seasoned and Ready to Use

Like all Lodge cast iron, this cover comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil and baked at high temperature. It's ready to use right out of the box and will develop an even better seasoning with each use. No chemical coatings, no PFAS, no PTFE—just pure cast iron and oil.

What You Can Cook

Braised Meats: Pot roast, short ribs, chicken thighs, pork shoulder, lamb shanks
One-Pot Meals: Chicken and rice, beef stew, chili, jambalaya, paella
Steamed Foods: Vegetables, dumplings, mussels, clams, fish
Simmered Dishes: Pasta sauces, gravies, curries, beans
Oven Dishes: Roasted chicken, casseroles, baked pasta, cornbread

The Missing Piece to Your Cast Iron Collection

If you own a Lodge 13.25-inch skillet or 12-inch dutch oven, this lid is the accessory you didn't know you needed. It dramatically expands what you can cook, improves the quality of braised and simmered dishes, and keeps your kitchen cleaner by preventing splatters. It's an investment that pays dividends with every meal.

Care Instructions

Hand wash with warm water and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coating of oil after each use. The self-basting spikes are easy to clean—just rinse and wipe. With proper care, this lid will serve your kitchen for generations.
