The pan
A proper cast iron pan, with no synthetic non-stick coating - just iron, heat and a surface that gets better the more you use it. It arrives pre-seasoned, which means it's been dipped in oil and baked at the factory to give it a natural cooking layer from the first use.
Cook with it regularly and that layer builds, turning naturally non-stick over time. Cast iron also holds heat better than almost anything else, so it's as happy searing a steak as it is going from hob to oven to finish a dish.
- Works on all hobs including induction, and in the oven, on the grill or over a barbecue
- Built for high heat and heavy use

Why cast iron
A pan that earns its place
It holds heat like almost nothing else, moves from hob to oven to grill without fuss, and - looked after - lasts decades rather than years. Few pans give you more over a lifetime.

How to season your cast iron pan
If you've ever wondered how to get the best from a cast iron pan - or why it needs seasoning at all - this is for you. Our founder walks you through it in a short video and guide, with tips from years of real kitchen use.

The press for a proper sear
A heavy round press keeps burgers and patties flat on the iron for an even, edge-to-edge crust. Round for burgers; the rectangle suits steaks if that's more your thing.

Questions, answered
Are there any heavy metals in these pans?
Season Cast Iron pans have been tested for 24 of the most common heavy metals - including the ones people worry about most: lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic - and no traces were found.
Cast iron isn't pure iron. It's an alloy, with carbon and silicon added to give it strength, heat retention and the ability to be cast into shape. Small amounts of phosphorus and sulphur are usually present too, as natural impurities. None of these are heavy metals, and none are harmful - they're simply what makes cast iron behave the way it does in the kitchen.
Cast iron has been used for cooking for centuries, and it's a safe, dependable material. If you'd prefer a surface that's non-reactive and needs no seasoning, our Season Tri-Ply Stainless Steel range is a good alternative - though it won't build the natural non-stick layer that cast iron develops over time.
Do I need to season it before use?
It comes pre-seasoned, so you can start cooking right away. That said, we'd recommend giving it a good scrub and a quick season first - it sets the pan up properly and takes only a few minutes. The founder's guide above shows you how. From there, the seasoning builds naturally each time you cook with a little oil or fat.
Will food stick?
A little at first - cast iron isn't non-stick straight out of the box, and the surface takes a few cooks to come into its own. Get the pan properly hot before food goes in, use enough oil or fat, and let the seasoning build over time. A well-seasoned cast iron pan will fry an egg as cleanly as any coated pan, without the coating.
How do I clean and look after it?
Warm water, a brush or a non-scratch sponge, and dry it straight away - cast iron and a dishwasher don't mix. Go easy on the washing-up liquid where you can, since it works against the seasoning. If it ever looks dull or patchy, a thin wipe of oil and a few minutes over heat brings it back. Looked after this way, a cast iron pan outlasts most of the kitchen.
