It has a 8.5" (21cm) diameter and a full pan width of 10.5 inches (27cm). Suitable for all hobs (induction, electric, gas, ceramic) and oven use, it can also be used on a campfire or barbecue. Made from pre-seasoned cast iron, the VonShef skillet pan is naturally non-stick. The seasoning process involves baking vegetable oil onto the surface at a high temperature, creating a naturally non-stick surface without chemical coatings. The specialist heat treatment of cast iron cookware allows oil to penetrate the pores of the iron, imbuing it with easy-release properties without the health worries associated with some chemical coatings. You can easily keep the pan’s non-stick properties by rubbing in a little fresh oil after washing in soap and water. This pan is perfect for everyday cooking, allowing you to sear, fry, sauté, grill, roast, and bake, or combine techniques like browning before finishing in the oven. It's ideal for cooking chicken, eggs, meat, and vegetables and is easy to maintain for years of use.
