Lancaster No. 4 Cast Iron Skillet

Yes, it is significantly lighter than most mass-produced cast iron pans. Weighing in at just 2 lbs, it is designed to be easy to maneuver with one hand, making it much more manageable for everyday tasks like frying eggs or sautéing vegetables.

It arrives with a smooth, pre-seasoned cooking surface, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, like all cast iron, the non-stick quality will continue to improve over time as you cook with it and add layers of seasoning.

Absolutely. This skillet is fully oven-safe, making it a versatile tool for searing proteins on the stove and finishing them in the oven, or for baking small portions like cornbread or individual desserts.

This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, simply hand wash it with warm water and a mild soap if needed, dry it thoroughly immediately after washing, and apply a very light coat of oil before storing.

While the No. 4 is compact, the integrated helper handle provides extra stability and control when moving the pan from the stovetop to the oven or when pouring contents out using the pour spouts. It is a thoughtful addition that makes the pan feel more secure in your grip.
