Know before you buy
No, the pan comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil and is ready to use right out of the box.
While the pan is seasoned, we recommend lightly greasing or flouring the skull impressions before adding your batter to ensure the intricate details release cleanly after baking.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
This pan is designed specifically for oven use and is not recommended for stovetop cooking.
After the pan has cooled, hand wash it with a stiff brush and hot water. Avoid using harsh detergents, and always apply a very light layer of oil after drying to keep the cast iron protected.
No, this pan is made without PFAS or PFOA. Its nonstick properties come entirely from the natural vegetable oil seasoning.
