Netherton Foundry Spun Iron Pie Dish

It arrives pre-seasoned with flax oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. Like all iron cookware, you should avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher; simply wipe it clean or wash it by hand with minimal soap and dry thoroughly to maintain the natural non-stick patina.

Absolutely. The spun iron construction provides excellent heat distribution, which works perfectly for both flaky pastry crusts and egg-based fillings like quiches or frittatas.

No, this is a single-piece construction. While it does not have a removable bottom, the natural non-stick seasoning that develops over time makes it easy to release slices cleanly.

Spun iron is significantly more durable and offers superior heat conductivity compared to glass or ceramic. It heats up quickly and retains that heat, which helps achieve a crisp, golden-brown crust that is often difficult to get with other materials.

While the flax oil seasoning is robust, highly acidic ingredients like lemon or heavy fruit fillings can strip the seasoning if left in the pan for long periods. It is best to serve your pie promptly and clean the dish shortly after use to keep the surface in top condition.
