Product Information

Full details

This 26cm square cast iron skillet by Cooks Professional is designed for home cooks seeking professional-level searing and char marks, ideal for steaks, burgers, and vegetables. While its cast iron construction ensures excellent heat retention, the interior is coated with a durable vitreous enamel, offering a non-reactive, easy-to-clean surface that is free from PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE. A potential consideration is its weight, characteristic of cast iron.

FAQs

Is this skillet suitable for induction hobs?

Yes, the Cooks Professional 26cm square cast iron skillet is compatible with induction hobs, as well as electric, gas, ceramic, halogen, and solid fuel cooktops.

Can I use this skillet in the oven?

Yes, the skillet is oven-safe up to 260°C, allowing you to start cooking on the stovetop and finish in the oven.

How do I clean the enamel interior?

Clean by hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry thoroughly after washing. Avoid using metal scouring pads or harsh detergents.

What are the dimensions of the skillet?

The maximum external dimensions are 44cm (W) x 29cm (D) x 5cm (H). The internal cooking surface measures 25.5cm (W) x 25.5cm (D) x 4.5cm (H).

Is the enamel coating non-stick?

The vitreous enamel interior is a smooth, naturally hygienic surface that resists sticking. For best results and to prevent sticking, preheating the pan and using a small amount of cooking oil is recommended.

What is the warranty period for this skillet?

The Cooks Professional cast iron range, including this skillet, is backed by a 25-year guarantee.

Can I put cold water into a hot skillet?

It is not recommended to expose the hot cast iron skillet to sudden temperature changes, such as plunging it into cold water, as this can cause the enamel to crack or chip.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the interior

Ensure the skillet is adequately preheated before adding food. Using a small amount of cooking oil can also help. The enamel surface is non-stick but performs best with proper preheating and oiling for certain foods.

Enamel chipping or cracking

Avoid dropping the skillet or subjecting it to extreme temperature shocks (e.g., plunging a hot pan into cold water). Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the enamel.

Uneven cooking

Ensure the skillet is placed evenly on the heat source and has been preheated thoroughly before adding food. Cast iron distributes heat well, but adequate preheating is crucial for even results.

Cons
