12 In. Cast Iron Skillet and Pizza Pan

Crafted from robust, rugged cast iron, the 13 ¼” pan is a versatile kitchen workhorse, and it’s good for more than just pizza night. It cooks up some truly superior omelets and frittatas, and it can be used as a traditional wide skillet to prep just about any dish you can throw at it. Fry some pork chops, cook up a nice, juicy steak, sauté your favorite mushrooms—this pan can pretty much do it all. For a great pizza crust, try adding a few tablespoons of oil to the pan and bake your pizza in the oven on a low rack—your dough will fry in the pan and come out perfectly crisp and flavorful. It also makes delicious crispy pizzas. It’s not deep enough for a true deep-dish pie, but it still delivers that crisp, fried crust that we all associate with a classic Chicago pie. We’re huge fans. The cast-iron construction promises years of reliable use if you keep it clean and seasoned (just like any cast iron cookware). Clean with coarse salt and maintain the pan with a light coating of oil. Measures 16 ½” x 13 ¼”, with a depth of 1 ½”. It’s an ideal size, offering ample cooking space whether you’re cooking for the family or making a slightly more elaborate midnight snack.
