Lodge 15.2 Ounce Cast Iron Melting Pot + Silicone Basting Brush - Unparalleled Heat Retention - Heat Resistant Basting Brush up to 450° - Black and Yellow

Well, it’s Lodge cast iron, so that should be enough said! It will sit on your grill and keep your basting liquid warm. Great item.

This is the best little pan. I followed a commenters suggestion on how to season it and this pan is AMAZING. Completely non stick, perfect size for a small amount of something…exactly what I needed to melt butter, heat sauce, melt chocolate, etc.

Good quality as you would expect from lodge. Heats and melts butter quickly

This item is a grilling/smoking necessity. It is sufficient in weight and size for basting with sauces or melted butter during the cooking process. The silicon brush works well to spread the basting liquid.

The Lodge 15.2oz cast iron melting pot with silicone basting brush works well and has the excellent heat retention you’d expect from Lodge. It’s sturdy, heats evenly, and the brush is a nice touch for sauces or butter. The only drawback is the size—it’s hard to visualize what 15.2 ounces looks like until you see it in person, and it feels smaller than I expected. For small batches it’s fine, but if you’re planning to melt or warm larger amounts, you’ll need something bigger. Overall, it’s a quality piece, just better suited for small jobs.

Let me just say this—if it’s Lodge, it’s LEGIT! Period. I picked up this 15.2-ounce cast iron melting pot (with the super handy silicone brush) to melt chocolate or whip up so all batches of my homemade barbecue sauce—you know, the kind so good my family could literally drink it wit a straw? Or even a yummy butter sauce). And let me tell you, this pot totally delivers. (At the end, I’ll give a pro-tip on how to care for it when you first get it, if you’re interested)….back to the pot… The heat retention? It’s immaculate! The cleanup? Easy-peasy-lemon-squeeze! The quality? Top-tier, per usual with Lodge! Whether I’m melting butter, chocolate, warming sauces, or crafting my secret family BBQ magic—this little pot is my new go-to. It’s like a little cast iron perfection. I also loved that it came with a silicone brush, which was perfect for my BBQ sauce or warm butter. So, if you’re like me, and you love cast iron anything, then don’t walk—RUN! This melting pot is small but MIGHTY! It’s a total kitchen gem! PRO TIP:: Give it a little extra oiling and bake it a few times when you first get it though (if interested, I’ll tell you how below) — you’ll fall in love with the results. Use an oil with a high smoke point and that forms a good layer of seasoning, like canola oil, Crisco (vegetable shortening), or grapeseed oil. I’ve used vegetable oil too. Avocado oil, I think can be used too, but don’t quote me on that particular one as I’ve never used it. But if I take a guess, I THINK it can be. But the FIRST thing you do even before oiling it and baking it is wash it thoroughly as soon as you get it with a teeny-tiny bit of soap and hot water, EVEN IF IT SAYS IT IS PRESEASONED! But ONLY DO THIS ONCE! After this first wash, you won’t have to use soap ever again! This is to remove any of the factory residue. But you are then to dry the pan completely. Then with a think layer of oil (I pour a bit on the pan and then take a paper towel and wipe it completely with oil in all of the nooks and crannies inside and out and the handle with an even coat of whatever oil you choose to use. Place it upside down on your top oven rack and put a baking sheet (or if you want to line the bottom rack with foil you can do that instead of the baking sheet) on the bottom rack to catch the excess oil that drips off the pan. Bake this @ 450 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. Then turn the oven off and let it cool completely inside the oven to allow the oil to set. Now, for a smoother, non-stick finish, it’s BEST to repeat this process 2 or 3 times, BUT you don’t have to. I like to though, but who knows…maybe it’s because I’m extra. Then, BOOM! Your brand new cast iron is ready to make some magic happen!! Enjoy!!

I bought this to melt butter in the smoker and it does just fine. It's easy to clean, holds up well in higher heat situations, and doesn't require a lot of maintenance. For the money, if you're looking for a sturdy sauce pot or melting bot, you can't go wrong with this.

The cast iron pot looked great, purchased it as a gift & they loved it

Ich bin grundsätzlich Fan der Marke Lodge und besitze viele Pfannen und Produkte aus dem Haus. Dieses hier ist gut geeignet, wenn man ausschließlich mit dem Pinsel arbeiten will. Ich habe in dieser kleinen Form jedoch ein Block Butter geschmolzen und wollte die flüssige Butter für die Zubereitung einer Sauce Hollandaise in ein anderes Gefäß gießen. Das soll man unter rühren langsam und kontrolliert machen. Tatsächlich ist der Ausguss aber so klein, dass man damit nicht arbeiten kann. Es läuft entweder alles an der Außenwand des Gefäßes herunter oder man hat einen großen Schwall. Wäre kein Auslauf an dem Gefäß, gäbe es kein Problem. Dann wäre klar: Nur den Pinsel nutzen! Wenn man aber einen Auslauf einbaut, dann sollte der auch funktionieren.

I have always loved using LODGE CAST IRON products for my daily cooking. Though it is expensive, but having said that I look at it as an investment I make on my kitchen which is equally an important aspect and space of my home and lovely life. Good and ergonomic cookware makes cooking for loved ones a delight! And quite interesting . This MELTING POT from lodge is just a show stopper from them. The inner diameter of the pot is 11cms. So sturdy and durable. Can last a lifetime , in my opinion. They make products to give us memories of a lifetime in cooking. Can pass through generations! Best part- IT IS PRE SEASONED. JUST TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT , & trust me it will pamper u. After every use try and wash is immediately and COMPLETELY DRY IT. WIPE WELL WITH A TOWEL. THEN IMMEDIATELY APPLY SOME VEGETABLE OIL ALL OVER IT INCLUDING THE HANDLES. Can’t thank the founder of LODGE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️God bless

Thank you

works on all surfaces. as long as you treat it, it will last

Adoro los productos lodge, geniales para cocinar, este es excelente para hacer queso fundido, cómo siempre cumpliendo con las espectativas, eso sí su cuidado es casi religioso, pero una vez acostumbrado a como cuidar este tipo de sartenes hasta lo disfrutas.
