Know before you buy
Yes, unlike traditional cast iron, this specific heat-treated model is commercial dishwasher safe. However, for the longest lifespan, hand washing is still recommended to preserve the seasoning.
The heat-treating process makes the iron significantly more resistant to rust, but it still requires the same basic maintenance as standard cast iron. You should continue to dry it thoroughly after washing and occasionally apply a light coat of oil to maintain the nonstick surface.
This square server holds 10 ounces, making it perfectly sized for individual portions of dips, cobblers, brownies, or side dishes.
No, this server does not include a lid. It is designed specifically for open-faced cooking and serving, such as gratins, dips, or desserts.
While it is designed for oven-to-table service, you can use it on a stovetop. Just keep in mind that because of its small size, it is best suited for small burners or warming tasks rather than heavy-duty searing.
