Know before you buy
The set consists of a deep skillet and a shallow lid that doubles as a secondary skillet. You can use them separately for frying or searing, or stack them together to create a Dutch oven for roasting and baking.
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil. While you can cook with it immediately, the non-stick properties will continue to improve the more you use it.
Absolutely. Because it is made of cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction hobs, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and even open campfires.
The heavy cast iron lid traps steam inside the pot during the initial phase of baking, which is essential for achieving a professional-quality, crispy crust on artisanal loaves.
Avoid the dishwasher, as it will strip the seasoning and cause rust. Instead, hand wash with warm water and a stiff brush, dry thoroughly immediately, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
Given its durable cast iron construction, it is a substantial piece of equipment. While it provides excellent heat retention, you should expect it to have significant weight compared to aluminum or stainless steel cookware.
