Lodge's Cast Iron Skillets, Dutch Ovens, and More Are Up to 43% Off Ahead of Amazon's Massive October Sale

If you purchase just one quality piece of cookware, let it be one made of cast iron. The material produces some seriously even heating and is durable enough to last generations — and Lodge's extremely popular skillets, Dutch ovens, and griddles are all on sale ahead of Amazon's first ever Prime Early Access Sale starting at just $20.

Both professional and home cooks know that Lodge is a household name for cast iron cookware. After all, the company has been honing its craft since 1896 and is still going strong years later in 2022. It's just one of many reasons why Lodge's cast iron pieces have thousands of five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who use them religiously. And while part of Lodge's appeal is its affordable prices, it's about to get even better with these huge markdowns.

During Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale on October 11 and 12, you'll find nearly every kind of cast iron pot and pan you could ever want in your kitchen at a sizable discount. And even though the two-day extravaganza is technically an exclusive Prime member event, anyone can shop deals already on the site.

However, signing up for a Prime membership will give you access to even more deals, as well as Prime Video and free two-day shipping. And who doesn't want that?
