Know before you buy
Yes, it requires a bit more care than standard non-stick pans. You should wash it with hot water only, avoiding soap, and dry it on a low heat setting on your stovetop to prevent rust.
The pan comes pre-seasoned with natural flax oil, which provides a functional non-stick surface for your first bake. Like all seasoned iron, the non-stick properties will improve and strengthen over time with regular use.
No, this is a solid, one-piece spun iron pan. It does not feature a removable bottom, so we recommend lining the base with parchment paper if you are baking delicate cakes that might be difficult to release.
Because of the heavy-duty spun iron construction and thick sides, this pan retains and distributes heat much more evenly than thinner materials. This results in a consistent bake and a superior golden-brown crust on your cakes.
Absolutely. It is oven-safe up to 300°C (572°F), making it far more heat-resistant than standard bakeware. It is built to withstand high temperatures without warping.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. Dishwashers will strip the natural flax oil seasoning and can cause the iron to rust, so it must be hand-washed.
