Use the cast iron gratin dish & frying pan from Skeppshult on the hob, in the oven, under the grill and even over an open fire. The double-handled pan is perfect for cheese-topped gratins, sweet skillet-pan bakes, pan-fried recipes such as pancakes, or for searing meat before roasting in the oven.
The 5mm thick base works on all hob types including induction, and distributes heat quickly thanks to its precision milled concave bottom. This pan is designed to last from generation to generation.
The pan measures 25cm across at its top, and 20cm across the base. It is 4.5cm tall.
Swedish company Skeppshult (pronounced hep-salt) has been making cast iron products by hand since 1906. The process starts with raw iron that is heated to a searing 1,500°C in the furnaces. The molten iron is then cast into special moulds, made from sand which can withstand the extreme temperatures.
Sand moulds can only be used once, and therefore each product is unique – no two items are exactly alike. Each sand mould is recycled and used for another product. Skeppshult seasons their cast iron with rapeseed oil (also called canola oil) from Osterlen to protect it from damage. This also gives the cast iron its natural non-stick properties.
Skeppshult’s cast iron is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic-coated aluminium pans.
