This is a 12-inch, 5-quart cast iron deep skillet with a matching lid, seasoned with vegetable oil and made in the USA. The high sides and lid let it braise, roast and fry where a shallow skillet would splatter or dry out, and cast iron holds heat steadily on the stove, in the oven, on a grill or over a campfire. It works on induction cooktops too. At about 14.5 pounds it is heavy to lift and slow to heat up, so it suits cooks who want one rugged pan for searing, baking and one-pot meals rather than light everyday sautéing. Against enameled cast iron Dutch ovens it gives up easy cleaning and acidic sauces, but it takes higher heat and rougher handling.
