- Is the pan really pre-seasoned?
- Yes, it ships seasoned and can be used straight away. The coating is thin, so expect to add a little oil and reseason after the first few uses.
- Can it go in the oven?
- The cast iron is oven safe, but remove the silicone handle grip first. Check the pan's own temperature limit before broiling.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so the pan works on induction, gas, electric and open flame.
- How do I keep it from rusting?
- Hand wash, dry it fully on the stove, then wipe a thin layer of oil over the cooking surface.
- Is 8 inches big enough for two people?
- It fits one large steak or two eggs comfortably. For family meals, a 10- or 12-inch skillet is a better fit.
- How does it compare with a Lodge skillet?
- Both are pre-seasoned cast iron. Lodge has a smoother, more consistent cooking surface; this pan is lighter and has the detachable grip.
