How does the No. 12 differ from the No. 10?

The No. 12 is larger and slightly deeper, with a more open wall angle. That gives more cooking surface and more room for pan-frying and roasting larger batches.

What can I cook in it?

It handles pan-fried chicken, seared steaks, roasted game and vegetables, and baked biscuits. It also works on a grill or over an open campfire.

Does it need seasoning?

Yes. It is cast iron with a polished finish, so it needs seasoning and hand washing to build and keep a nonstick surface.

Will it fit my stove and oven?

The pan is 12 inches across the top and 18.1 inches from handle to handle, so check your oven and burner space. The 10.5-inch cook surface fits most home burners.

Yes. It has holes on both sides of the handle for hanging on a rack or hook.
