Seasoned at the factory, ready for use straight out of the box. Great for use on open fire, a grill, a large enough electric stove or gas stove. When using with electric stoves, make sure the hob is big enough, and spend some time with gentle pre-heating - this way you'll avoid warping. The skillet weighs 4.6 kg, giving it a huge capacity for storing heat - chucking in a couple of steaks doesn't cool it down too badly. A great choice for frying both meat and vegetables. The ridges give your food the trademark pattern. - Material: pre-seasoned, non-coated cast iron - Upper diameter: 35 cm - Volume 3.5 liters - Weight 4.6 kg
