Know before you buy
No, the porcelain enamel finish acts as a non-stick surface, so you do not need to season this skillet. It is ready to use right out of the box.
Yes, the cast iron core is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric smooth-top ranges.
While the enamel is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and longevity of the pan. Dishwasher detergents can dull the enamel over time.
This skillet is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for high-heat searing, roasting, and baking.
While cast iron is inherently heavier than aluminum or stainless steel, this 11-inch model includes an integrated helper handle opposite the main handle, which makes lifting and maneuvering the pan much easier and safer.
It is best to stick with silicone, wood, or nylon utensils. Metal tools can scratch or chip the enamel coating, which can compromise the surface over time.
