Overview
A small stovetop, an oven rack or a campfire grate is where this cast iron skillet works. It arrives seasoned with natural vegetable oil and has ergonomic cast iron handles for a secure grip.
Cast iron retains heat for even browning, and the compact size suits sauces, roux and desserts as well as searing. Seasoning is the only non-stick layer, so care matters, and the capacity figure looks small for the pan.
Who it's for
Single or double servings of seared meat, pan sauces and skillet desserts are the sweet spot. Large families and anyone who dislikes seasoning upkeep should consider a bigger or coated pan.
Pros and cons
- Pre-seasoned from the factory
- Works on induction, gas and coil
- Oven, grill and fire safe
- Cast iron handles
- Hand wash only
- Capacity figure listed oddly
- Seasoning needs upkeep
Performance notes
Cast iron absorbs heat slowly and holds it, which gives even browning once the pan is preheated. The seasoning layer provides the release, and it strengthens with use. Induction hobs work with the iron body, and the pan survives direct fire.
