Know before you buy
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. You can start cooking immediately, though the non-stick properties will continue to improve as you build up more layers of seasoning over time.
This skillet weighs 10 pounds. Because of its size and weight, the dual-handle design is essential for stability, allowing you to lift it securely with two hands when moving it from the stovetop to the oven.
Absolutely. Cast iron is naturally magnetic, making it an excellent choice for induction ranges. It also performs perfectly on gas, electric, and ceramic glass cooktops.
This skillet is oven-safe up to 500°F. Its durable cast iron construction allows it to transition seamlessly from searing on the stovetop to roasting or baking in the oven.
The Chef Collection features slightly curved, sloped sidewalls rather than sharp, vertical edges. This design makes it much easier to slide a spatula under food for flipping or to scrape the edges clean while cooking.
Yes, this skillet is completely free of synthetic chemicals, including PFAS and PFOA. It relies entirely on a natural, oil-based seasoning to provide a non-stick surface.
