10-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

The octagonal shape isn't just for aesthetics; it provides six distinct corners that act as pour spouts, making it much easier to drain liquids or pan juices without making a mess. Additionally, the flat edges allow for easier spatula access, so you can get under food more cleanly than you might with a standard curved pan.

Yes, the coiled stainless steel design is engineered to dissipate heat effectively, keeping the handle comfortable to the touch during standard stovetop cooking. However, if you are using the skillet in a high-heat oven or for an extended period, it will eventually conduct heat, so it is always smart to keep an oven mitt nearby.

Absolutely. Because it is made of heavy-gauge cast iron, it is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, glass-top stoves, and even open-fire setups like grills or coals.

It arrives pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. That said, cast iron seasoning is an ongoing process; the more you cook with it—especially fatty foods—the better and more non-stick the surface will become over time.

This skillet is not dishwasher safe, as the harsh detergents and high heat will strip away the seasoning and potentially cause rust. To clean it, simply hand wash with warm water and a stiff brush or sponge, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat, and apply a very light coat of oil before storing.

At 6.3 pounds, it has significant heft, which is essential for the superior heat retention cast iron is known for. To make handling easier, it features a dedicated helper handle opposite the main handle, allowing you to use two hands when moving it from the oven to the table.
