Know before you buy
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil. While you can cook with it immediately, the nonstick properties will continue to improve as you build up more layers of seasoning through regular use.
This skillet weighs 10.5 lbs. Because of its size and material, it is quite heavy, so you will likely need to use two hands when moving it from the stovetop to the oven.
Absolutely. Cast iron is naturally magnetic, making it an excellent choice for induction burners. Just be mindful of the pan's weight and avoid sliding it across the glass surface to prevent scratching.
You should hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding the dishwasher entirely. After washing, dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat and apply a very light coating of oil to prevent rust.
Yes, this skillet is broiler-safe. Its durable cast iron construction can withstand the high, direct heat of a broiler, making it perfect for finishing steaks or melting cheese on top of a dish.
Prolonged cooking of highly acidic foods can strip the seasoning or impart a metallic taste to your food. It is best to reserve this pan for searing, frying, and baking until your seasoning layer is very well-established.
