- Is this skillet oven safe?
- Yes. It is oven safe, so you can sear on the stove and finish in the oven or under the broiler. Use a mitt, since the handle heats up.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. The cast iron body works on induction, gas, electric coil and smooth-top electric ranges.
- Do I need to season it?
- It comes pre-seasoned and can be used right away. Wash, dry fully and rub a thin layer of oil after each use to keep the seasoning strong.
- How does it compare with a Lodge 12-inch skillet?
- Both are bare cast iron with similar heat performance. The Yeti is the pick if you want its branding and handle design; Lodge is the long-standing budget standard.
- Can I cook acidic foods in it?
- Occasionally is fine once the seasoning is established. Long simmers of tomato or wine can strip a thin seasoning, so use enameled cast iron for those.
- How do I clean it?
- Scrub with hot water and a stiff brush, avoid long soaks and dish soap if you prefer, then dry on the stove and oil lightly.
- Where is the Yeti Cast Iron Skillet 12 cheapest?
- At Yeti, for $250.00, as of our latest check.
