🍽 Equipment

- Optimal weight. Lighter than most, our 10.5-inch skillets tip the scales at 5.2 lbs for the perfect balance of heat retention and ease of use.
- All natural. No toxic chemicals, no space-age materials, just iron.
- Lasts forever. Treat your cast iron properly and it will last many lifetimes.
- Drip-free flared rim. No more pour spouts. Pour from anywhere with confidence.
- Stay-cool handle. Burn your hand on someone else's pan. Our forked handle stays cooler much longer than the cast iron you’re used to.
