Know before you buy

Yes, the skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen heat sources.
This skillet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, hand wash it with warm water and a mild soap if necessary, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing.
While the skillet has a 12-inch diameter, the flat cooking surface measures 9.5 inches. The 2-inch deep sidewalls provide extra volume, which is ideal for sautéing or preventing splatters.
The manufacturer's lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials and craftsmanship. It is designed to ensure the skillet remains a functional heirloom for generations of use.
