Know before you buy
Yes, it is compatible with gas, electric, induction, and halogen stovetops. Because it spans two burners, ensure your stove configuration allows for even heat distribution across both.
No, this product comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, you should continue to season it periodically over time to maintain its non-stick properties.
No, this cast iron piece is not dishwasher safe. You should hand wash it with warm water and a stiff brush, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
Yes, the grill side features raised ridges that elevate your food, allowing excess fat and grease to drain away while creating authentic sear marks.
Absolutely. The durable cast iron construction is designed to withstand high heat, making it an excellent choice for campfire cooking, as well as use in the oven or on a backyard grill.
While cast iron is nontoxic and PFAS-free, it is generally recommended to avoid cooking highly acidic foods for long periods, as they can strip the seasoning and impart a metallic taste to your dish.
