Know before you buy
The stainless steel spring handles are designed to dissipate heat faster than solid cast iron. While they stay cooler for longer periods, we still recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan after extended time on high heat.
No, the pan comes pre-seasoned from the factory and is ready to use immediately. You can maintain the non-stick surface over time by lightly oiling the pan after each cleaning.
Yes, the heavy, flat-bottomed construction of this cast iron pan makes it fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and oven heat sources.
The ribs are 1/4" tall, which is deep enough to elevate your food above the pan surface to collect drippings and create professional-grade, cross-hatch sear marks on steaks and vegetables.
Yes, the ribs are machined to a smooth finish. This process reduces the surface area for food to grab onto, making it much easier to release delicate items like salmon or marinated vegetables compared to rougher, sand-cast alternatives.
Hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh detergents or the dishwasher. Dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat and apply a very light coat of oil before storing to prevent rust.
