Know before you buy
Spun iron is significantly more durable than typical non-stick pans and will not peel or flake over time. Because it is a metal, it requires seasoning to build up a natural non-stick surface, which actually improves with every bake.
Yes, as it is made of raw iron, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. You will need to lightly oil the surface after cleaning to maintain its seasoning and protective finish.
It is best to avoid long-term contact with highly acidic ingredients, as they can strip the seasoning from the iron. If you do bake fruit pies, ensure the dish is re-seasoned promptly after cleaning.
The 320mm measurement refers to the outer diameter, while the inner diameter is 250mm. This provides a generous surface area for your crust while accounting for the rim.
While primarily designed for baking, the spun iron construction is heat-safe for stovetop use. This makes it a versatile option if you need to pre-cook a filling or brown a crust bottom before moving it to the oven.
