Know before you buy
No, the dish comes pre-seasoned and is ready for immediate use. However, you may choose to add an extra layer of seasoning to further enhance its non-stick properties before your first bake.
No, this dish is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the iron, you should wash it by hand with hot water and dry it thoroughly on low heat.
Yes, the spun iron construction is versatile and works equally well for sweet fruit pies and savory meat or vegetable pies.
No, this is a solid, one-piece construction. It is designed for durability and even heat distribution, so you will need to slice your pie directly within the dish.
While the dish is pre-seasoned, iron can react with highly acidic ingredients if left in contact for extended periods. It is best to avoid storing acidic foods in the dish and to ensure it is well-seasoned to provide a protective barrier.
The dish has a top rim diameter of 10.5 inches, a bottom diameter of 8 inches, and a depth of 2 inches, making it ideal for deep-dish recipes.
