Solidteknics AUS-ION Lightning Skillet

The AUS-ION wrought iron is thinner and lighter than traditional cast iron, making it much easier to maneuver while still offering excellent heat retention. Because it is a single, seamless piece of metal, it heats up faster and is more durable since there are no rivets or screws to loosen over time.

Yes, the pan arrives naturally seasoned with rice bran oil. While it is ready for immediate use, the non-stick properties will continue to improve and deepen as you cook with it over time.

The handle features a vented design that helps dissipate heat, allowing it to stay cooler on the stovetop during normal cooking. However, if you are using the pan in an oven or over a campfire, the handle will become hot and you should always use an oven mitt.

This pan is hand wash only. Avoid using the dishwasher, as it will strip the seasoning; instead, clean it with warm water and a soft brush or sponge, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop, and apply a very light coat of oil before storing.

Yes, the wrought iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and even open campfires or pizza ovens.

Solidteknics stamps the month and year of manufacture on each pan for traceability. It serves as a mark of the pan's origin and quality, reflecting the brand's commitment to Australian-made craftsmanship.
