Forge Cast Iron Skillet
A pre-seasoned skillet that only gets better with use.
A 12-inch cast iron skillet, pre-seasoned and ready to cook. It sears, bakes, and goes from stovetop to oven without a second thought, and the cooking surface improves with every use. With basic care — dry it, oil it lightly — it is the kind of pan that lasts for decades rather than a few years.
