- Does it need seasoning before first use?
- It comes pre-seasoned, but a light coat of oil and a short oven bake improves the surface. Expect a few cooking sessions before it turns reliably nonstick.
- Will it work on an induction cooktop?
- Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so it works on induction as well as gas, electric coil and smooth glass tops.
- Can it go in the oven?
- Yes, the whole pan is oven safe, including under a broiler. Use a mitt, since the handle gets hot.
- How do I clean it?
- Hand wash with hot water and a stiff brush, dry it fully on the stove, then rub in a thin layer of oil. Skip the dishwasher and long soaks.
- Is 8 inches big enough for two people?
- For eggs, a small steak or a side dish, yes. For two large steaks or a family-size cornbread, a 10- or 12-inch skillet is the better fit.
- Does it come with a lid?
- No. It is an open skillet, so cover it with foil or another pan if you need to trap steam.
