Know before you buy
The pan comes pre-seasoned with flax oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, like all black iron cookware, its non-stick properties will continue to improve and deepen with regular use and proper maintenance.
Avoid using a dishwasher or harsh detergents, which can strip the seasoning. Simply wash the pan with warm water and a soft brush, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop to prevent rust, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
As you build up the seasoning through regular baking, the iron will develop a natural non-stick surface. For the first few bakes, we recommend lightly greasing the pan or using parchment paper to ensure an easy release until the seasoning is fully established.
Yes, the 2mm thick black iron is designed for high-temperature baking and excellent heat retention. It is robust enough to handle the intense heat required for artisan breads and sourdough without warping.
The internal dimensions are 9 inches long by 5 1/2 inches wide by 3 1/4 inches high. It is perfectly sized for a standard 2 lb loaf recipe.
