Know before you buy
This skillet is significantly lighter than traditional cast iron, making it much easier to maneuver on the stovetop. While it offers similar heat retention and durability, its machine-wrought construction provides superior heat conductivity and a smoother surface.
The skillet features a natural black finish created through a proprietary heating process, which simplifies the initial break-in. While it is ready to use, you will still need to build up the seasoning over time through regular cooking to develop a truly non-stick surface.
Yes, this 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 detergent if necessary, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil before storing.
The handle vent system is engineered to reduce heat transfer from the pan to the handle, helping it stay cooler for longer while you are cooking on the stovetop.
