Frequently Asked Questions▼
Is it ready to use out of the box?
Yes, it comes pre-seasoned so you can cook right away. Cast iron develops an even better natural non-stick surface the more you use it and re-oil it.
How do I clean and care for it?
Hand wash only - scrub with hot water and the included scraper (little or no soap), dry it completely right away, then rub a thin layer of oil over the surface. Do not put it in the dishwasher or let it soak.
Can I use it on an induction cooktop?
Yes. Solid cast iron is magnetic, so it works on induction as well as gas, electric and ceramic cooktops, and outdoors on a grill or campfire.
Can it go in the oven with the glass lid?
The cast iron skillet is oven safe at high temperatures. The tempered glass lid is not made for broiler or very high heat, so use the skillet uncovered for the hottest oven work and broiling.
Does the handle get hot?
Yes - the handle is solid cast iron and heats up with the pan. Always grab it with the included silicone holder or an oven mitt.
