Know before you buy
No, the wildlife scene is embossed on the exterior bottom of the pan, so it does not impact the interior cooking surface. The interior remains a flat, smooth cast iron surface designed for consistent heat distribution.
At 13.25 inches, this is a substantial piece of cookware. To assist with maneuvering, it includes a helper handle opposite the main handle, which makes it easier to lift and move when the pan is full.
Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen ranges. It is also safe for use in the oven, on a grill, or over a campfire.
This skillet must be hand-washed only; it is not dishwasher safe. After washing, dry it thoroughly immediately and apply a very light coat of vegetable oil to prevent rust and maintain the natural, non-stick seasoning.
No, this product does not include a lid. If you need to cover your food while cooking, you will need to purchase a compatible 13.25-inch lid separately.
