Skillet Cornbread Mix

How to Bake Lodge Cornbread in Any Cast Iron Pan

By: Lodge Cast Iron / March 31, 2023

Meet the gold (or should we say iron?) standard in crispy, crunchy cornbread. We created our Skillet Cornbread Mixes specifically for our most popular 10.25 inch size, but they work great in cast iron pans of all kinds. No matter what you’re baking in, be sure to preheat your pan in the oven to get a good sizzle when the batter drops. And always bake on the center rack! Read on for bake times and helpful tips as you stir, sizzle, and bake your way to beautiful cornbread.
