Know before you buy
The skillet arrives pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. While the natural non-stick surface will improve with time and regular use, you do not need to perform an initial seasoning process.
Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its magnetic iron construction allows it to heat efficiently and evenly on induction surfaces.
Always hand wash the skillet with warm water and a mild soap if needed, then dry it immediately with a towel or on the stove over low heat. Once dry, apply a very light coating of vegetable oil to the surface before storing to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust.
While a 10-inch skillet can be managed with one hand, the assist handle provides much-needed stability when moving the pan from the oven or grill. It is particularly helpful for safely maneuvering the skillet when it is full of food, as cast iron is naturally heavy.
Absolutely. The heavy-duty cast iron construction is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, making it an excellent choice for campfire cooking and high-heat searing on a grill or stovetop.
No, this skillet must be hand washed. A dishwasher will strip away the seasoned finish and likely cause the iron to rust.
