Is this really cast iron at under a pound?

The listing gives a net weight of about 0.84 lb, which is unusually light for a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Expect thinner walls and less heat mass than a traditional heavy pan.

Will the handle stay cool on a campfire?

The long handle is designed to keep your grip away from flames and burners. On a hot fire or a long cook, use a glove or cloth anyway.

How do I season and clean it?

Coat it lightly with oil and heat it to build the seasoning layer. Clean with hot water and a brush, dry it fully, and rub on a thin film of oil to prevent rust.

Does it work on induction and in the oven?

Cast iron is induction-compatible and oven-safe. Check that the long handle fits your oven before sliding it in.

What comes in the box?

One iron skillet. No lid, mitt or seasoning kit is included.

Our take on the 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet with Long Cool-Touch Handle

The Oxodoi is a 12-inch cast iron skillet with an extra-long handle meant to stay cool over flames, stovetops and grills. It has a hanging loop for storage and is pitched for campfires as well as home cooking. The headline spec is weight: about 0.84 lb net, far lighter than a typical 12-inch cast iron pan, which usually runs 6 to 8 lb. That lightness is the trade-off to weigh against the even heat and heat retention cast iron is known for.

Best forCampers and car campers cooking over fireHome cooks who want one pan for stove and ovenBuyers who find standard cast iron too heavy to lift

Pros

Long handle keeps hands away from the heat
Hanging loop for compact storage
Works on stovetops, grills and campfires
Light enough to lift and carry easily
Seasoned iron surface builds a natural non-stick layer

Cons

Very light for cast iron, so heat retention is likely weaker than a heavy pan
Thin iron can heat unevenly and develop hot spots
Needs seasoning and careful drying to avoid rust
Handle length makes it awkward in small ovens and on crowded stoves
