Know before you buy
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so you can start cooking immediately. However, the non-stick properties will continue to improve the more you use it.
Absolutely. Because it is made of cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
Hand wash the skillet using a stiff brush and hot water. Avoid using harsh detergents or the dishwasher, as these can strip the seasoning; dry it thoroughly and lightly coat it with oil after each wash to prevent rust.
The teardrop handle is designed for a secure grip, but keep in mind that it is made of solid cast iron and will get very hot during use. Always use a heat-resistant handle cover or oven mitt when handling the pan on the stove or in the oven.
At 15 inches, this is a large, substantial piece of cookware. It is quite heavy, so you may need to use both hands when moving it from the oven or grill.
Yes, cast iron is excellent for high-heat searing because of its superior heat retention. It is safe to use on the grill, over a campfire, or in a high-temperature oven.
