Know before you buy
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, halogen, and ceramic.
While the cast iron body is oven-safe up to 260°C (500°F), the wooden handle is not. You should remove the handle or ensure it remains outside the oven to prevent damage.
No, the matte black enamel coating does not require seasoning like traditional raw cast iron. It is designed to be durable and easy to clean right out of the box.
While the cast iron pan itself is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash the wooden handle and the included wooden accessories to maintain their quality and prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.
The pan weighs 2.13 kg. While it is sturdy and substantial due to its cast iron construction, the shallow design and ergonomic wooden handle make it manageable for flipping crepes and pancakes.
The shallow rim is specifically engineered to provide easy access for your spatula, allowing you to slide underneath crepes or pancakes effortlessly for a clean, professional flip.
