NutriChef Cast Iron Pizza Pan

Yes, the pan arrives pre-seasoned, meaning it has a layer of baked-on oil that provides a natural non-stick surface. You can start baking immediately, though the non-stick properties will continue to improve the more you use it.

Absolutely. Because this pan is made of heavy-duty cast iron, it is compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops, as well as ovens and grills.

To maintain the seasoning, you should hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush or sponge. Avoid using harsh soaps or soaking it, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat before applying a very light coat of oil to prevent rust.

The silicone covers are designed to protect your hands when moving the pan from the oven or stovetop to the table. However, they are not meant to be left on the pan while it is inside a hot oven, as they could be damaged by extreme heat.

The 14-inch measurement refers to the diameter of the pan itself. Keep in mind that the pan features deep walls, so your actual pizza crust diameter will be slightly smaller than the total width of the pan.

Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 500°F. Its superior heat retention makes it excellent for high-heat baking, which is key to achieving a crispy, pizzeria-style crust.
