Know before you buy
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil. While you can use it immediately, many home cooks prefer to add an extra layer of seasoning before the first use to further enhance the nonstick properties.
Absolutely. Because the griddle is made of solid cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen ranges.
Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 500°F. It is an excellent choice for finishing steaks or baking flatbreads that require high heat.
This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, hand wash it with warm water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly immediately, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
Cast iron develops a natural nonstick patina over time as you cook with fats and oils. While it behaves differently than synthetic nonstick pans, proper preheating and regular use will create a surface that releases food easily.
Yes, the durable cast iron construction is designed to withstand the intense, direct heat of a campfire or outdoor grill, making it a versatile tool for camping trips.
