Know before you buy
The tempered glass lid is oven-safe up to 400°F. If you plan on cooking at temperatures higher than that, you should remove the lid and use the skillet uncovered.
No, the silicone assist handle holder is designed for stovetop use to protect your hands from heat. It should be removed before placing the skillet inside the oven.
While the manufacturer notes it is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing your cast iron. Dishwashers can strip the seasoning and lead to rust, so a quick scrub with warm water and a thorough dry is the best way to maintain the pan's non-stick surface.
Pre-seasoned means the skillet has been treated with 100% natural vegetable oil at the factory, so it is ready to use right out of the box. While it is non-stick upon arrival, the seasoning will continue to improve and become more effective the more you cook with it.
Yes, this cast iron skillet is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric coils. Its magnetic properties make it an excellent choice for induction heating.
To prevent rust, always dry the skillet completely with a towel immediately after washing. We recommend applying a very light coating of cooking oil to the surface before storing it in a dry place.
