Know before you buy
Yes, because the handle is made of natural wood, it should not be placed in the oven or the dishwasher. Simply wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth and avoid soaking it in water to maintain the wood's integrity.
This pan features a naturally nonstick surface created by the pre-seasoning process. While it is not a chemical nonstick coating, the surface will become increasingly slick and easy to release with regular use and proper maintenance.
Absolutely. The pan is crafted from 100% virgin iron ore and features a concave-milled base, making it fully compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.
To preserve the seasoning, wash the pan by hand using hot water and a brush. Avoid using soap or the dishwasher, and always dry the pan thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
The slots are specifically designed for individual portions, making them ideal for frying eggs, making silver-dollar pancakes, or searing small breakfast patties. Because the iron retains heat exceptionally well, it ensures even cooking across all four sections simultaneously.
The pan weighs 5.1 lbs, which is standard for high-quality, thick-gauge cast iron. While it feels substantial and durable, the ergonomic walnut handle provides a comfortable grip for maneuvering the pan on your stovetop.
