Whether frying eggs or baking individual tarts or apple crisp, the smaller capacity of this enameled cast-iron skillet makes it easy to prepare a variety of classic foods on the stovetop or in the oven. The compact unit measures 6-1/4 inches in diameter by 1-1/2 inches tall and comes with two nondrip spouts--one on each side to accommodate left- and right-handed pouring. Use the skillet for anything from searing and sauteing to tenderizing, frying, and deglazing--its shallow base and gently sloping sides create rapid evaporation and make it simple to turn food or slide it from the pan to a plate.
Made of heavy-duty cast iron, the cookware's exterior features a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its interior provides a durable, black enamel finish (no seasoning required) to seal in juices for succulent, tender results. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the skillet cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. The skillet also provides a sturdy, integrated iron handle with an opposite helper handle for secure transport, and it can be safely used at any oven temperature, under the broiler, and on any stovetop, including induction. Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, the skillet should be hand washed for best results.
