Is this pan oven-safe?

Yes. Bare cast iron can go from the stovetop into the oven, which makes it useful for searing then finishing dishes.

Does it need seasoning?

Yes. It is bare cast iron, not enameled, so season it before first use and keep the coating built up with oil and regular cooking.

How should I clean it?

Hand wash it, dry it fully and rub on a thin layer of oil. Avoid long soaks and harsh detergents that strip the seasoning.

Can I use it on induction?

Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so it works on induction, gas, electric and ceramic stovetops.

How does it compare with enameled cast iron?

It is simpler and has no coating to chip, but it needs seasoning and cannot sit with acidic foods for long. Enameled pans are easier to clean but cost more and can chip.

It is a 12-inch frypan, a large surface suited to big cuts, batch cooking and family portions.

Our take on the Arch Studio Cast Iron Frypan

The Arch Studio Cast Iron Frypan is a 12-inch cast iron skillet sold as a Macy's exclusive. Cast iron gives it strong heat retention and oven-safe use, so it handles searing, sauteing and baking. It is a plain skillet with no enamel coating, so it needs seasoning and hand care. Against enameled cast iron it is simpler and lighter on features; against a basic lodge-style skillet it is a similar tool with a wider 12-inch surface. Buyers rate it well overall, though the small number of ratings means feedback is thin.
