Know before you buy
Skeppshult skillets come pre-seasoned with organic rapeseed oil, so they are ready for immediate use. Over time, the surface will continue to improve as you build up a natural patina through regular cooking.
Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces. Its heavy-duty cast iron base ensures excellent heat distribution across all heat sources.
This skillet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, wash it by hand with hot water and a brush, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop, and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.
