Product Information

Full details

The Tramontina Bestow Enamelled Cast Iron Skillet is designed for home cooks who prioritize durability and heat retention without the maintenance of traditional cast iron. Its primary benefit is the pre-finished porcelain enamel interior, which allows for versatile searing and frying without requiring seasoning, though its 3.7kg weight makes it significantly heavier than standard aluminum or stainless steel pans.

FAQs

Does this skillet need to be seasoned?

No, the matte black porcelain enamel interior is ready to use immediately and does not require seasoning.

Can I use this in the oven?

Yes, the skillet is oven-safe up to 230°C.

Is it safe for induction cooktops?

Yes, the cast iron base is fully compatible with induction hobs.

Can I put the skillet in the dishwasher?

No, dishwasher detergents and heat cycles can damage the enamel finish over time. Hand-washing is required.

What should I do if the enamel chips?

While the skillet is durable, chips can occur from extreme impact. If the interior cooking surface is chipped, the pan should be retired from use.

How heavy is the skillet?

The skillet weighs approximately 3.7kg.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is preheated sufficiently before adding oil and food, and use enough fat to create a barrier.

Enamel has developed minor stains

Create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let sit for a few minutes, and gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge.

Pan moves on the stovetop

Verify the pan is centered on the burner and ensure the stovetop surface is level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the skillet in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. While the enamel is robust, always avoid using metal utensils that could scratch or chip the interior coating; silicone or wooden tools are recommended. The skillet is compatible with all hob types. When using on induction, start on a medium heat setting to allow the cast iron to heat up evenly and avoid thermal shock. For cleaning, allow the pan to cool completely before washing by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Do not place in the dishwasher. For stubborn residues, soak in warm, soapy water and use a non-abrasive plastic scraper. Store in a dry place to prevent any moisture buildup around the rims.
