Key item features
Mainstays Cast Iron Skillet Oven Safe Pre-Seasoned Iron Black, 12 inch
- Your cast iron cookware can be used on induction, ceramic, electric and gas cooktops, in your oven, on the grill, or even over the campfire. Do not use in the microwave
- Note: Cookware handles get hot; use mitts. Use trivets to protect countertops from hot cookware
- After first use let it cool and wipe it down with a clean dry cloth or paper towel. If you prefer to use soap, then wash with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly and oil (season) immediately
- Note: Acidic foods like tomatoes, beans, and certain sauces can damage seasoning finish and should be avoided until the seasoning is well-established
- Note: Cast Iron rarely needs to go above a medium heat setting when properly pre-heated. For the times when you do cook at higher temperatures, bring the pan to temperature gradually and add oil to it just before adding food to prevent sticking
- Note: Use metal, wood, or hi-temp silicone utensils
- Note: Some foods may stick to new cookware (especially eggs). Use a little extra oil or butter until you've built up the seasoning on your cast iron cookware
- Note: Dishwashers, strong detergents and metal scouring pads are not recommended, as they remove seasoning
- Note: On glass or ceramic cooktops, lift cookware; never slide it

Nothing Like a Good Frying Pan
This is a great buy. $12. It comes pre-seasoned. It does take some pampering but it's worth it. (By pampering I mean don't put it in the diswasher, don't let it soak, dry it immediately to prevent rusting, and oil it after using for the first few uses.) The first thing I cooked in it was a NY strip steak. Four minutes on one side, 4 minutes on the other. Perfection with grill-like taste. Eggs taste much better too. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Bought this cause I needed a little larger skillet. i compared it to the 12 in lodge and to be honest it was $34 cheaper and smoother. so at $14 thought I would give it a try. after 2 rounds of seasoning nothing sticks not even eggs. couldn't be happier. would buy again!

Excellent skillet for half the cost!
This is my first time owning an iron skillet... and I have to say that they really live up to their hype! I have a bad habit of throwing cold things into a hot skillet, but these guys hold their heat so it doesn't affect anything at all. I really like how it sears meat, and it is good for both stove top cooking and baking. I have an induction range, and it works just fine...
