Know before you buy
No, the Design Collector’s Duo arrives pre-seasoned with organic canola oil, so you can start cooking immediately. Over time, the seasoning will continue to improve with regular use.
Yes, both the 11" skillet and the flat griddle are fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
No, these cast iron pieces are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash them with warm water and dry them thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
The skillet is oven safe up to 400°F, while the cast iron griddle can handle temperatures up to 500°F. Please note that neither piece is broiler safe.
The 11" skillet weighs 6.5 lbs, and the larger flat griddle weighs 11 lbs. Their substantial weight is a result of the high-quality, dense virgin iron ore used in their construction.
The skillet features a black anodized aluminum handle designed to stay cooler than the cast iron body during stovetop cooking. However, you should still use caution and an oven mitt when moving the pan, especially if it has been in the oven.
