A sear thin pans cannot match
Lightweight skillets drop temperature the moment food hits them, and you get gray meat instead of crust. Heavy cast iron stores heat and holds it, so steaks, burgers, and chops build a deep, even restaurant style sear.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Is it ready to use out of the box?
Yes. The pan comes pre seasoned, so you can start cooking right away, and regular use keeps building its natural nonstick layer.
How hot can it go?
The pan is oven safe up to 500 degrees F, so you can sear on the stovetop and finish in the oven with the same pan.
Can I wash it in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash cast iron, dry it right away, and rub on a thin layer of oil to protect the seasoning and prevent rust.
Does it have pour spouts?
Yes. Pour spouts on both sides make it easy to drain grease or pour off pan sauces cleanly.
Care & Use▼
Hand wash the pan with hot water and a stiff brush, avoiding long soaks and the dishwasher. Dry it right away over low heat, then rub a thin layer of cooking oil over the surface to protect the seasoning and prevent rust.

Why cast iron earns its keep
Stovetop to oven in one pan
Skip juggling two dishes. Start a frittata, cornbread, or seared chicken on the burner and slide the whole pan into an oven up to 500 degrees F to finish, then serve straight from the skillet at the table.
Only gets better with age
Coated pans wear out and get tossed. Cast iron does the opposite, since every meal builds the seasoning into a naturally slick, dark finish. Cared for simply, this pan cooks for decades and gets handed down.

How it stacks up
Against nonstick skillets
Coatings scratch and wear out within a few years, while seasoned cast iron builds its own slick surface and keeps improving, giving you a searing pan that can outlast the kitchen.
Against stainless pans
Cast iron holds heat far longer for a steady, even sear, and it moves from stovetop to a 500 degree oven without a second thought or a plastic handle to worry about.
Against a lightweight skillet
The extra mass is the point. It resists temperature drops when food goes in, so the pan keeps sizzling and delivers a deep crust instead of steaming your dinner.
Is it ready to use out of the box?
Yes. The pan comes pre seasoned, so you can start cooking right away, and regular use keeps building its natural nonstick layer.
How hot can it go?
The pan is oven safe up to 500 degrees F, so you can sear on the stovetop and finish in the oven with the same pan.
Can I wash it in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash cast iron, dry it right away, and rub on a thin layer of oil to protect the seasoning and prevent rust.
Does it have pour spouts?
Yes. Pour spouts on both sides make it easy to drain grease or pour off pan sauces cleanly.
How fast will it ship and can I return it?
Orders ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return unused items in the original packaging.

CurbGo hunts for the well made version of everyday things and skips the markup. Cast iron is the rare pan that outlasts its owner, so we looked for a heavy, pre seasoned 12 inch skillet with pour spouts and a hang hole, then priced it so a lifetime pan does not cost a boutique markup.
