Crusty steaks, crispy potatoes, and cornbread from one pan you will reach for every night

At a Glance

  • 12 in across, 2.25 in deep: room to saute, sear, and pan-roast a family meal
  • Pre-seasoned: cook the day it arrives
  • Oven safe to 500 F: sear on the stove, finish in the oven
  • Side pour spouts: drain meat juices and pour sauces cleanly
  • Hanging hole: store it on a hook by the stove

Cheap pans lose heat the moment food lands, so meat steams instead of browning. This MegaChef 12-inch round cast iron frying pan heats evenly for a consistent sear, and at 2.25 inches deep it has room to saute vegetables, pan-roast chicken, or fry a full batch of potatoes. It arrives pre-seasoned, which protects it from rust in storage and lets you start cooking right away. Pour spouts on the sides, a hanging hole in the handle, and an oven rating of 500 F round it out.

Key Features

  • Even cast iron heat: the heavy pan heats evenly for consistent results, from seared steaks to golden hash browns.
  • Pre-seasoned surface: ready to cook out of the box and protected from rust while it waits in the cabinet.
  • 2.25-inch depth: deep enough for shallow frying, pan sauces, and one-pan chicken dinners.
  • Oven safe to 500 F: finish thick chops, frittatas, and skillet cornbread in a hot oven.
  • Side pour spouts: tip off meat juices or pour a pan sauce without drips down the side.
  • Hanging hole in the handle: hang it on a rack or hook to free up cabinet space.

What's Included

In the box: one 12-inch round pre-seasoned cast iron frying pan in black.

Before You Buy

  • It weighs 6.9 pounds. Cast iron is heavy, so lift it with a mitt on the handle and support the far side with a second mitt when the pan is full.
  • It is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Hand wash, dry right away, and wipe on a thin coat of oil to protect the seasoning.
  • The handle gets hot. Cast iron carries heat into the handle on the stove and in the oven, so keep a dry mitt or pot holder ready.

Perfect For

  • Searing steaks, burgers, and pork chops
  • Skillet cornbread and frittatas
  • Pan-roasted chicken and vegetables
  • Crispy potatoes and hash browns
  • A first cast iron pan for a new kitchen

Care & Use

  • Hand wash with hot water and a stiff brush, and skip the dishwasher and long soaks.
  • Dry the pan completely right after washing, then rub on a thin layer of cooking oil.
  • Use a dry mitt or pot holder on the handle every time, on the stove and out of the oven.
  • Store it dry, hanging from the handle hole or with a paper towel between stacked pans.

Why a 12-inch cast iron pan earns its keep

Browning, not steaming

Thin pans cool down when cold food hits them. Cast iron holds its heat, so steak, chicken skin, and potatoes brown and crisp instead of turning pale in their own juices.

Stovetop to a 500 F oven

Sear chops on the burner, then move the whole pan into the oven to finish. The same skillet bakes cornbread and frittatas, so one pan covers jobs that used to take two or three.

Seasoning that builds

The pan arrives pre-seasoned to resist rust and start cooking right away. Every time you cook with oil and wipe on a thin coat after washing, the surface gets darker, slicker, and easier to clean.

How does a cast iron frying pan compare?

vs. a nonstick pan

Nonstick coatings wear out and shy away from high heat. Seasoned cast iron handles a hard sear and a 500 F oven.

vs. a stainless steel pan

Stainless heats fast but drops temperature when food goes in. Cast iron holds steady for an even sear.

vs. an enameled skillet

Enamel costs more and needs gentle tools. Pre-seasoned bare iron builds its own slick surface with every meal.
