Ippinka Cast Iron Pan

This pan is crafted from ductile cast iron, which is significantly lighter and more durable than the standard grey cast iron found in most skillets. It offers the same heat retention and cooking performance but is much easier to maneuver on the stovetop.

The heat-resistant silicone coating is primarily designed to prevent rust during storage and initial use. While it protects the pan, you should still maintain a traditional seasoning layer of oil over time to ensure a non-stick surface and optimal cooking performance.

The handle is made of iron, consistent with the rest of the pan's construction. Because it is metal, it will get hot during use, so you should always use a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling it on the stovetop.

No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing.

After hand washing and drying the pan completely, apply a very thin layer of cooking oil to the surface. Storing it in a dry place will help maintain the integrity of the iron and the protective coating.
