Lancaster Cast Iron Skillet

At approximately 4 pounds, this skillet is significantly lighter than standard cast iron pans of the same size. This reduced weight makes it much easier to maneuver on the stovetop while still maintaining the heat retention properties expected from iron.

Yes, the skillet comes pre-seasoned from the manufacturer. You can begin cooking with it immediately, though the non-stick properties will continue to improve as you build up additional layers of seasoning through regular use.

Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass-top stoves. Its flat-bottomed design ensures consistent contact for even heat distribution.

This skillet must be hand-washed only; it is not dishwasher safe. After washing, dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent rust, and apply a light coating of oil to maintain the seasoning.

The Lancaster skillet is machined to provide a smooth cooking surface. This process mimics the finish of vintage, high-quality cast iron, which helps prevent food from sticking compared to rougher, sand-cast alternatives.

Yes, the skillet is oven-safe and can be used on a grill or over a campfire. Because it is made entirely of cast iron, it can withstand high temperatures that would damage pans with non-stick coatings or synthetic handles.
