Know before you buy
Yeti cast iron comes pre-seasoned with a high-quality vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use. However, building up your own layers of seasoning over time will improve the non-stick performance and rust resistance.
Yes, cast iron is naturally magnetic, making it an excellent choice for induction cooktops. Ensure you place it gently on the glass surface to avoid scratching.
Hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh soaps. Immediately dry it thoroughly with a towel and apply a very light coating of oil before storing it in a dry place.
Absolutely. Because it is made entirely of cast iron, it is heat-safe at high temperatures and can transition seamlessly from the stovetop to the oven or directly onto a grill grate.
Prolonged exposure to acidic foods can strip the seasoning and potentially impart a metallic taste to your dish. It is best to avoid simmering tomato-based sauces in a new skillet until you have built up a very durable, multi-layered seasoning.
