Know before you buy
No, the pan comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, continuing to season it periodically will help maintain and improve the non-stick surface over time.
While the pre-seasoned surface is naturally non-stick, it is still recommended to lightly grease or flour the pan before baking, especially for recipes with high sugar or egg content. As you build up the seasoning through regular use, the release will become even easier.
Yes, the heavy-duty cast iron construction is designed to withstand high heat from grills and campfires. Just be sure to use heat-resistant gloves when handling, as the integrated handles will get very hot.
The pan measures 10 inches by 5 inches at the top rim. It is sized to fit standard loaf recipes, though you may want to adjust your dough volume slightly if your specific recipe is designed for a smaller 8.5-inch pan.
Hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush. Avoid using harsh soaps or the dishwasher, as these can strip the seasoning, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a very light coat of oil to prevent rust.
