Crucible Cookware 12-Inch Cast Iron Skillet Set (Pre-Seasoned - EXTRA DEEP Sauté Pan), Including Large & Assist Silicone Hot Handle Holders, Glass Lid, Scraper | Indoor & Outdoor Use

Yes, the skillet arrives pre-seasoned, so you can begin cooking immediately. However, we recommend adding a light layer of oil after the first few uses to continue building the non-stick patina.

Absolutely. The flat, magnetic base of this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, glass-ceramic, and open-fire heat sources.

The cast iron skillet itself is oven-safe up to 500°F. Please note that the included glass lid and silicone handle holders are not designed for high-heat oven use and should be removed before placing the pan in the oven.

The increased wall height significantly reduces oil splatter when frying and allows you to cook larger volumes of food, such as stews or braises, without worrying about spills. It provides the versatility of a sauté pan while maintaining the heat retention properties of a traditional skillet.

After the pan has cooled, use the included scraper to remove any stuck-on food bits. Wash it with warm water and a small amount of mild soap if necessary, then dry it thoroughly and apply a thin coat of oil to prevent rust.

Yes, the silicone holders are designed to protect your hands from heat while moving the pan on the stovetop. They should not be left on the handle while the pan is inside a hot oven, as they are intended for stovetop use only.
