Know before you buy
No, this specific model is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on traditional gas and electric stovetops.
The pan comes pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil, so it is ready for immediate use right out of the box. Over time, your own cooking will continue to build and improve the natural non-stick seasoning.
The pan features a 'Speed Cool' stainless steel handle designed to dissipate heat quickly. While it stays cooler than the cast iron body, we still recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan during high-heat cooking.
Yes, the cast iron construction is excellent for oven use. It is a great choice for baking individual desserts like brownies, cakes, or even single-serve lasagnas.
No, this model does not feature a pour spout or a specialized pour rim. It has a traditional, straight-walled design.
