Know before you buy

The New Zealand beech wood handle is designed to be detachable. Simply unscrew or release the handle before placing the carbon steel body into the oven for roasting or finishing dishes.
Yes, the flat base and magnetic properties of the carbon steel construction make this skillet fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
Carbon steel offers the same durability and natural non-stick potential as cast iron but is significantly lighter and more responsive to temperature changes. This makes it easier to maneuver and better suited for techniques that require quick heat adjustments.
To preserve the seasoning, wash the pan by hand with warm water and a soft brush or sponge, avoiding harsh detergents and the dishwasher. Dry it thoroughly immediately after washing and apply a very thin layer of oil before storing to prevent rust.
