Why Tampa-Area Chefs Love This Skillet
-
Dual-handle design: Two handles make lifting and carrying safer, especially when loaded with fish, vegetables, or a skillet-dessert.

Polished, chemical-free finish: No PTFE, PFOA, or non-stick coatings—just pure cast iron polished to a natural nonstick surface.
-
Slightly more open wall angle: Gives you more cooking capacity and easier access to edges.
-
Pre-seasoned with grapeseed oil: Ready to cook right out of the box.
-
Versatility across heat sources: Safe on gas, electric, induction, oven, grill, even open flame.
Use Tips & Best Practices for Florida Cooks
-
Pre-heat gradually: Bring it up to temperature slowly to avoid hot spots on your stovetop or grill.
-
Maintain seasoning: After cleaning with warm water (no harsh scrubbing), dry fully and rub a light coat of oil—this helps retain its nonstick performance in Florida’s humid climate.
-
One-pan wonders: Use it to sear snapper, sauté vegetables, then slide into the oven for finishing—all in one skillet.
-
Grill & camp ready: Take it outdoors—ideal for open-fire cooking on Florida beaches, park grills, or over coals.
Care & Longevity
-
Rinse and dry immediately after use
-
Use mild soap if needed—polished surfaces are more forgiving than rough cast iron
-
Re-oil lightly after each use
-
Store in a dry location to avoid moisture damage in humid climates
-
Over time, your skillet’s patina will deepen and performance improves
