Cast iron can rust so keep it out of the dishwasher, do not soak overnight, or air dry. Use warm water and scrape off any stuck food with a flat utensil. You can also lightly polish the cooking surface with a stainless steel chainmail scrubber for a smooth patina. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning, and apply a new layer of oil to protect from rust.
This heavyweight skillet is proudly designed in the USA and pre-seasoned with our proprietary oil blend. Our skillets are cast from the finest virgin ore and built to last generations.
With a smoother finish than other leading brands, compare with Wagner and Griswold vintage cast iron skillets. Support a small business!

A Solid Skillet That Earns Its Keep
Decent skillet. Not the cast-iron of dreams, but a solid one nonetheless. Got it for my mother, and she’s quite happy with it. It did stick a bit the first time, but once it settled, it did the job well. Seems like one of those things that just gets better with time. A little patience, a little heat, and it becomes exactly what it promises: sturdy, well-built, and reliable.

Cast Iron on a budget!
If you are looking for a budget friendly cast iron frying pan-this is it. You can’t beat this price and cast iron is so sturdy and great for any of your favorite stove top recipes. This pan is a great value if you want to cook with the best cast iron pan. I won’t use any other type of pan for cooking steaks or frying chicken. Season this pan with your favorite cooking oil and it will last a lifetime.
