Know before you buy

Because it is made of durable cast iron, this pan is safe for use on stovetops, in the oven, on a grill, or even over a campfire. Its versatility makes it ideal for recipes that require searing on the stove before finishing in the oven.
Hand wash the pan with warm water and a mild soap if necessary, then dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent rust. Applying a very light coat of vegetable oil after drying will help maintain the seasoning and protect the surface.
Yes, 9" x 13" is the standard size for most rectangular baking dishes, making this pan perfectly compatible with the vast majority of casserole, brownie, and roasting recipes.
While cast iron is generally durable, long-simmering acidic foods like tomato sauce can sometimes strip the seasoning or impart a metallic taste if the pan isn't well-seasoned. For short cooking times, it is usually fine, but you may want to avoid long-term simmering of highly acidic dishes.
