# Pre-Seasoned Cookware This Cornbread Skillet is Already Seasoned for Your Convenience By Alyson Wyers | Published 2013-08-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornbread-skillet References: [fancy](http://www.fancy.com/things/412056158694542713/Lodge-Logic-Cornbread-Skillet) This pre-seasoned and pre-sectioned cornbread skillet from [Lodge Logic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-iron-smoker-skillet) makes the perfect cornbread or scone. The pre-seasoning means you can use the product right away. The seasoning permeates through the metal's pores thoroughly and uniformly. You can add your own home seasoning as well by applying a thin layer of cooking oil to the pan's surface. Repeating this process will further season the pan and result in a darker appearance. This [cast iron cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-iron-cookware) also results in more even heating, superior heat retention and non-stickiness. If properly taken care of, cast iron will last a lifetime. To clean, use hot water, mild detergent and a stiff brush. It should be towel dried and covered with cooking oil when it's still warm. The pan should be kept in a cool and dry location. The cornbread skillet is great if you're also making chilli, or if you're making scones to go with afternoon tea. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pre-seasoned Cookware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new pre-seasoning techniques for cookware to enhance convenience and cooking experience. - **Uniform Seasoning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating innovative methods for achieving uniform seasoning in cookware to ensure consistent flavor and cooking performance. - **Long-lasting Cast Iron:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing new techniques to improve the durability and lifespan of cast iron cookware for long-term use. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cookware Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating pre-seasoning techniques into the manufacturing process to offer ready-to-use cookware products. - **Home Seasoning Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing and marketing specialized home seasoning products to enhance the flavor and performance of pre-seasoned cookware. - **Kitchen Appliances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating advanced kitchen appliances that can automate the seasoning process and maintain the ideal seasoning level in cookware. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Traditional Cast Iron Skillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lancaster-no-8.md) - [Limited-Edition Seasoned Skillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-cast-iron-skillet.md) - [Cast-Iron Recipe Smokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-iron-smoker-skillet.md) - [Convenience-Focused Cast Iron Cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-iron-skillet1.md) - [TV Series Cast-Iron Cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lodge-x-yellowstone-cast-iron-skillets.md) - [Sustainable Cast-Iron Skillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hornbeam-skillets.md) - [Cast-Iron Bread Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-creuset-bread-oven.md) - [Compact Farmhouse Skillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmhouse-skillets.md) - [Sizable Cast Iron Skillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-iron-skillets.md)
