Know before you buy
No, the pan arrives foundry-seasoned with oil, meaning it is ready to use right out of the box. You can begin cooking your pizza immediately without any extra preparation.
Yes, this cast iron pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as traditional stovetops, ovens, grills, and even campfires.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and a stiff brush, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil.
The included silicon grips are designed for comfortable handling, but they are not intended for high-heat oven use. You should remove the grips before placing the pan in the oven or on a grill to prevent them from melting.
Most standard home ovens can accommodate a 15-inch pan, but it is a good idea to measure your oven rack width before purchasing. Ensure you have enough clearance on all sides for proper air circulation.
Yes, cast iron is excellent for pizza because of its superior heat retention. It gets very hot and stays that way, which helps create a crispy, golden-brown crust that is difficult to achieve with thinner aluminum or steel pans.
