Know before you buy
The skillet comes pre-seasoned, which provides a functional non-stick surface for most cooking tasks. However, its non-stick properties will continue to improve and deepen as you build up layers of seasoning through regular use.
Yes, the iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its 3mm thickness also helps it heat evenly and resist warping under high heat.
To maintain the seasoning, simply wash the pan with warm water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid soaking it or using a dishwasher, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a very light coat of oil to prevent rust.
At 3 pounds, this skillet is significantly lighter than a standard cast iron pan of the same size. The thinner, high-performance iron sheet makes it much easier to maneuver for daily tasks like sautéing or flipping.
The ergonomic handle is designed to stay cooler than the pan body during standard stovetop use. However, it is still made of metal, so you should use caution or a kitchen towel if you are cooking for extended periods or using the pan in the oven.
Absolutely. Because the pan is crafted from a single piece of iron with no rivets or synthetic coatings, it is perfectly safe for high-heat oven use, whether you are roasting vegetables or baking cornbread.
