Know before you buy
Wrought iron is thinner and lighter than cast iron, making it easier to handle while still providing excellent heat retention. It is also more durable because it is made from a single, seamless piece of metal, meaning there are no rivets or welds to break over time.
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned with rice bran oil. While it is ready for your first meal immediately, the non-stick properties will continue to improve the more you cook with it.
Yes, the wrought iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and open flame heat sources.
This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, wash it by hand with warm water and a soft brush or sponge, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
Because the handle is made of solid wrought iron and is part of the same piece of metal as the pan, it will conduct heat. You should always use a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan while cooking.
Absolutely. Its seamless, all-metal construction makes it completely oven-safe, allowing you to sear on the stovetop and finish your dish in the oven without switching pans.
