The Cooks Professional 26cm Square Cast Iron Skillet Pan is for home cooks seeking a professional steakhouse sear and even cooking performance. Its key benefit is the high-heat retention of cast iron, ideal for achieving perfect char marks on meats and vegetables. A caveat is that it requires hand washing. This skillet excels at high-heat searing, offers versatile use across different cooking surfaces and in the oven, and features a durable, easy-to-clean enamel interior.

The smooth enamel interior provides a naturally hygienic, non-reactive surface that is easier to clean than bare cast iron and resists sticking better than many materials. However, it is not a 'non-stick' coating in the same way as PFOA/PTFE coated pans, and some oil or fat is recommended for optimal results.
While the enamel interior is durable, it is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to best preserve the finish over time and avoid potential scratching.
The skillet weighs approximately 2.94kg, which is typical for cast iron cookware of this size.
The entire cast iron range from Cooks Professional, including this skillet, is backed by a 25-year guarantee.
No, this skillet is hand wash only. Dishwasher use can damage the enamel coating and the cast iron.
The maximum external dimensions, including the handle, are approximately 44cm (Width) x 29cm (Depth) x 5cm (Height).
The orange refers to the color of the vitreous enamel coating on the exterior and interior of the skillet, providing a durable and attractive finish.
Ensure the skillet is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or fat. For stubborn residue, soak the pan in warm water after it has cooled and then wash gently.
Avoid dropping the skillet or banging it against hard surfaces. Do not subject it to extreme temperature changes (e.g., plunging a hot pan into cold water). If minor chipping occurs, it may still be usable but monitor closely.
Ensure the hob is on a level surface. Allow the skillet to preheat thoroughly and evenly across the entire base before adding food.
This can sometimes occur with high-heat cooking or certain acidic foods. It is usually cosmetic and does not affect performance. Gentle cleaning with a baking soda paste and water can sometimes help remove stubborn discoloration.
