Know before you buy
No, the pan comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
While the pan is pre-seasoned to provide a naturally reduced-stick surface, it is not a nonstick pan. We recommend lightly greasing the cavities before adding your batter or dough to ensure an easy release.
The pan features seven individual round cavities, allowing you to bake seven mini cakes or biscuits in a single batch.
After hand washing and drying, apply a very light layer of cooking oil to the surface while the pan is still warm. Store it in a dry place to keep the cast iron in optimal condition for years to come.
