No kitchen should be without a classic, durable cast iron skillet. Extremely versatile, the 12-inch cast-iron skillet is 2-inches deep, and versatile for a variety of culinary needs. Use it safely the stove, grill, campfire, or in the oven for everything from slow-cooking to baking.

It's pre-seasoned to take all of the hard preparation work out of it for you, and the non-stick surface contains no chemicals found in other non-stick pans.

Simply coat lightly with oil or vegetable oil spray with each use, and the more you use it, the more the seasoning builds up for even better cooking results!

Measurements: 19"L x 12"W x 2"H Other: How to season and care for your cast-iron skillet: • Though the pan comes pre-seasoned for a non-stick surface, we recommend re-seasoning prior to first use for optimal benefits. To re-season your pan, wash with hot, soapy water and towel dry immediately. Cover your oven tray with a sheet of aluminum foil to catch grease and heat oven to 350 degrees. Then coat pan lightly with vegetable oil or melted shortening, and bake upside down for one hour. Once you have seasoned it for the first time, do not wash with soap again or put in dishwasher. • Ongoing care: After cooking, wash with a coarse sponge or nylon brush and hot water only. Dry immediately with a towel or on a heated stove. Do not allow to soak in water. Re-season every few months as needed.
