Know before you buy
No, these skillets come pre-seasoned from the factory and are ready for immediate use. However, continuing to season them periodically will help maintain and improve the non-stick surface over time.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric stoves.
Yes, this set is oven-safe. They are excellent for tasks like searing a steak on the stovetop and finishing it in the oven, or even baking cornbread and desserts.
The included silicone covers are designed to provide a heat-resistant grip for the main handle. For the 10-inch and 12-inch pans, you should use a separate oven mitt or dry towel for the assist handle loop, as the silicone covers are specifically shaped for the primary handle.
To maintain the seasoning, hand wash the pans with warm water and a mild brush or sponge. Avoid using a dishwasher or harsh detergents, and always dry the pans thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
The 10-inch and 12-inch skillets are significantly heavier when full of food. The assist handle loop allows you to use two hands to lift and maneuver the pan safely and with better control.
