John & Sheila McCormick Cast Iron Pan

No, the bronze motif is integrated into the bottom design without compromising the pan's stability. It sits flat on all compatible cooking surfaces, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.

The pan comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil and is ready to cook with right out of the box. However, many home cooks prefer to add one additional layer of seasoning before the first use to further build up the non-stick surface.

To maintain the seasoning, rinse the pan with hot water immediately after cooking while it is still warm. Use a stiff brush or a chainmail scrubber to remove food residue, then dry it completely on the stovetop over low heat and apply a very light coating of oil before storing.

The easel is strictly for display purposes. It is designed to showcase the bronze motif when the pan is not in use, allowing you to treat this heirloom-quality piece as a kitchen accessory.

Yes, this pan is fully oven-safe. Because it is made entirely of cast iron, it can handle high temperatures, making it excellent for searing steaks or baking cornbread.

No, this model features a single cast-iron handle without a helper handle. Given the weight of the 10-inch pan, you may want to use two hands when moving it from the oven to the stovetop.
