Know before you buy
The set includes an 8-inch skillet, a 10 1/4-inch skillet, a 10 1/2-inch griddle, and a 5-quart Dutch oven that comes with a matching lid.
Yes, this cast iron set is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, glass-top stoves, and even outdoor grills or campfires.
The pans come pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. To maintain the surface, simply hand wash, dry thoroughly, and apply a very light coat of oil after each use to prevent rust and improve the non-stick quality over time.
Yes, these pans are made from pure cast iron and are completely free of PFAS and PFOA. The non-stick surface is created naturally through the seasoning process rather than synthetic chemical coatings.
It requires a different approach. You should avoid soaking the pans or putting them in the dishwasher; instead, clean them with warm water and a stiff brush or chainmail scrubber, then dry them immediately on the stovetop to ensure they remain in top condition.
The entire 5-piece set weighs approximately 28 pounds. Because cast iron is dense, you should ensure your stovetop grates or shelves can support the weight, especially when the pans are filled with food.
