Know before you buy

Absolutely. Because it is made of durable cast iron, it is safe to use on induction, gas, and electric stovetops, as well as in the oven.
It comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil for a nonstick surface. While it is dishwasher safe, hand washing and occasional re-seasoning will help maintain the nonstick quality and longevity of the iron over time.
Yes, the small perforations are specifically engineered to let heat and smoke circulate around your food while keeping small items like shrimp or chopped vegetables from falling through the grates.
The basket features dual integrated handles, making it easy to lift. However, because it is cast iron, you must use heat-resistant gloves or mitts, as the handles will become very hot during the cooking process.
