Know before you buy
Standard cast iron often has a rough, pebbly texture from the sand-casting process. The Wasatch skillets are milled to a smooth finish, which provides a superior non-stick surface that is easier to clean and better for delicate foods like eggs.
Yes, the Wasatch set is fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, halogen, and oven heat sources. The flat, heavy-duty base ensures excellent contact and heat distribution across all these surfaces.
They arrive pre-seasoned with Backcountry Iron’s proprietary blend of food-grade oils. You can start cooking with them immediately, though the seasoning will continue to improve and deepen with regular use.
The deep heat ring helps stabilize the skillet on various cooking surfaces and promotes more even heat distribution. It also provides a slight elevation that can help protect your stovetop from direct contact with the hot iron.
These are heavyweight, professional-grade skillets. The weights range from 3 lbs for the 6-inch pan to 9 lbs for the 12-inch pan, reflecting the thickness and quality of the proprietary alloy used.
Like all solid cast iron, the handles will get hot during use. The Wasatch skillets feature hefty, ergonomic handles designed for a secure grip, but you should always use a heat-resistant mitt or handle cover when cooking.
