what is best way to re-season the lodge logic l8dd3 before using it?

Pretty much everything that you read here is the way to do it I use lard in my seasoning I agree do not submerge and hot soapy water wipe it out with a hot soapy red then immediately rinse with hot water dryad good if that means put it in the oven to dry dry it apply lard liberally while it's hot wipe it in good turn it upside down in the oven 400 to 500 Degrees for an hour after a few times of doing this every time you cook with it just re-cook some lard in it and wiping it in good after it's good and hot that's the way my great-grandma did it that's the way my grandma did it that's the way my mom dose it and that's what I do

Can anyone give me the inside diameters at the top AND bottom for this? I want to use it with an existing fry basket and I need to make sure it will fit. Thanks!

Oven measure 11.75" at the top, and 9" at the very bottom. However, the bottom is rounded at the edge, so it measures 10" about 1/2" above bottom. Total depth is 5".

Handle to Handle width: 12 5/8"Non-handle width: 10 5/8"Depth including lid: 6 1/4"Depth without lid: 4 1/2"Depth of lid including lip: 1 7/8"

can it be used in a 500 degree oven to bake bread?

Even though you may not BAKE bread at 500 degrees, it is a good idea to preheat the oven and cast iron up to 500 to compensate for heat loss when you open the oven. I typically turn oven down to 450/425 after I've placed the dough and covered. The preheating seals the crust and allows for a good steam.
