Know before you buy
The addition of steel makes this skillet more resilient to thermal shock. While traditional cast iron can crack if heated or cooled too rapidly, this blend is engineered to handle temperature fluctuations with greater stability.
Like most high-quality cast iron, this skillet requires proper seasoning to build a natural, non-stick surface. We recommend seasoning it before your first use and maintaining it regularly to prevent rust and improve performance.
No, this skillet is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is best suited for gas, electric, or glass-top stoves, as well as open-fire cooking.
This skillet is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the seasoning, wash it by hand with warm water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop, and apply a light coat of oil before storing.
A 10-inch skillet is the standard size for most households. It provides enough surface area to sear two large steaks, sauté vegetables for a family of three, or bake a standard-sized cornbread.
