Chef Collection 8-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

It comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil, which creates a natural, easy-release surface. While it performs similarly to non-stick pans, it requires proper maintenance and occasional re-seasoning to maintain that slick finish over time.

Yes, cast iron is naturally magnetic, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops. It also works perfectly on gas, electric, and glass-top stoves.

The Chef Collection is designed with a more refined aesthetic and improved ergonomics. It features larger, more comfortable handles and spatula-friendly, sloped sidewalls that make it easier to flip food and scrape the edges compared to the steeper walls of the classic design.

No, you should hand wash this skillet. Dishwashers can strip the seasoning and cause rust, so it is best to clean it with warm water and a stiff brush, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil.

Because the entire pan is cast iron, the handle will get very hot during use. Always use a thick oven mitt or a silicone handle cover when moving the skillet from the stove or oven.

Yes, unlike coated non-stick pans, cast iron is durable enough to handle metal spatulas and spoons. In fact, using metal utensils can help smooth out the seasoning layer over time.
