Know before you buy
No, the artwork is featured on the exterior bottom of the skillet. The interior cooking surface remains a standard, smooth cast iron finish suitable for all your searing and sautéing needs.
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil. While you can use it immediately, many home cooks prefer to add an extra layer of seasoning or cook a few fatty foods first to further build up the non-stick surface.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
Hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush or a pan scraper. Avoid harsh detergents and soaking, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat before applying a very light coat of oil to prevent rust.
This size is a versatile standard that works well for most everyday tasks, such as searing two large steaks, frying eggs, or baking a batch of cornbread. If you frequently cook large roasts or batches for a crowd, you may find yourself needing a larger 12-inch skillet.
Yes, cast iron is incredibly durable and can withstand metal spatulas and whisks. Unlike non-stick pans with chemical coatings, you do not have to worry about scratching the surface.
