Know before you buy
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned from the foundry with a soy-based vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use.
The patented heat-treating process makes the cast iron significantly more resistant to rust than traditional cast iron. However, you should still hand wash, dry thoroughly, and lightly oil the piece after each use to maintain its performance.
Absolutely. Because cast iron retains temperature exceptionally well, you can chill the server in the refrigerator or freezer before serving cold items to keep them at the ideal temperature longer.
Yes, because the entire piece is constructed from cast iron, the handles will become hot during cooking. Always use heat-resistant oven mitts or handle covers when removing the server from the oven or stovetop.
This server holds 10 ounces, which is perfectly sized for individual portions of casseroles, pot pies, or side dishes.
