Know before you buy
This pan is pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil, which creates a natural, easy-release surface. While it performs like a nonstick pan, it requires proper heat management and a light coating of oil or butter to ensure delicate crepes slide off effortlessly.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its flat base ensures excellent contact for consistent heat distribution.
Hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush; avoid the dishwasher, which can strip the seasoning. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat and apply a very thin layer of oil to keep the surface protected and ready for your next use.
The low-profile, 0.75-inch rim is specifically designed for easy access, making it simple to slide a spatula under crepes, pancakes, or eggs. It is not intended for deep-frying or liquid-heavy dishes, but it is perfect for flipping flat foods.
Yes, this griddle is oven-safe up to 500°F. It is an excellent choice for finishing dishes in the oven or for baking large, thin Dutch babies.
No, this pan is completely PFAS-free and PFOA-free. The nonstick properties come entirely from the natural vegetable oil seasoning, not from synthetic chemical coatings.
