"It wasn’t great seasoning, but that’s easily handled with a Google search (or, honestly, a little oil). It heats up quickly and evenly and cooks great! I’ll be back for another spun SOMEthing, that’s for sure."

Description
The “spun'' in this spun iron pan is formed by spinning a disc of iron on a lathe and forming it over a mold. “Prospector” refers to its overall shape, including the two sturdy handles that are riveted to the pan that is reminiscent of a prospector’s gold pan. This gorgeous, matte-black pan has similar properties to cast iron: it heats up evenly and will hence cook and bake evenly as well. Much like cast iron, it is also nearly indestructible and is sure to last a lifetime, with minimal routine care required. You’ll want to pass this down to the next generation of cooks.
However, this spun iron prospector pan has one key advantage over cast-iron ones: it is much lighter at generally half the weight, which you’ll appreciate as you move it from stove-top, to oven, to tabletop. If you’re a fan of spun iron, take a look at our spun iron baking sheet as well as our spun iron loaf pan.
The prospector pan also makes a lovely presentation dish for a quiche, fruit pie, or cobbler. You could also simply use it to make your eggs and hash in — it’s up to you. Pre-seasoned with flax oil to give a natural, no-stick coating. Works on all ranges of ovens, whether gas, electric, convection, or even wood-burning. It was made by a small foundry in Shropshire, UK, which is where the Industrial Revolution started. It is 12” diameter x 1-½” deep. The prospector pan is also available in a long-handled version.
Also available is a matching spun iron lid for our Netherton woks and prospector pan.
