- Is it ready to use out of the box?
- It comes seasoned, so you can cook on it right away. The factory seasoning builds up over time with regular oiling and use.
- How does it compare with cast iron?
- It is lighter and heats and cools faster, which makes it easier to control. Cast iron holds heat longer, so it is better for long, steady searing.
- Can I use it on an induction cooktop?
- Yes. Carbon steel is magnetic, so it works on induction, gas, electric and in the oven.
- Can the silicone handle holder go in the oven?
- Silicone holders are typically rated for moderate oven heat only. Remove it for high-temperature oven use or open flame.
- How do I keep it from rusting?
- Dry it fully after washing and rub a thin coat of oil over the cooking surface. Re-season if the surface dulls or food starts sticking.
- What is in the box?
- The 12-inch seasoned steel skillet and the orange silicone handle holder.
