Know before you buy
Yes, it arrives pre-seasoned, meaning you can start cooking immediately. However, many home cooks prefer to add an extra layer of seasoning before the first use to further enhance the non-stick properties.
Yes, cast iron is naturally magnetic, making this skillet fully compatible with induction cooktops. It also performs exceptionally well on gas, electric, and over an open campfire.
Like most high-quality cast iron, this skillet is substantial in weight. The inclusion of the helper handle is specifically designed to help you maneuver it more securely when it is full of food.
To maintain the seasoning, avoid using a dishwasher or harsh soaps. Instead, wash it with warm water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
The 12-inch measurement refers to the diameter of the cooking surface. Including the helper handles, the total width of the skillet is 16.5 inches.
