Cast iron is a cornerstone of cooking and has a well-deserved place in modern kitchens. It’s meant to be used often, loved forever, and passed down through generations. Our 10" skillet comes preseasoned, so you can start using it right away on most heat sources. And its natural, nonstick surface gets better and better the more you use it. The 10" pan is just right for corn breads and cobblers.

It’s also heat-safe to 650°F so it holds up to searing, sautéing, baking, frying, broiling, grilling, and even campfire cooking. There’s no need to be gentle, metal tools won’t damage it either. The two, low-profile pour spouts let you easily drain off pan juices whether you’re left- or right-handed.
