SEASONING & FIRST USE
Your pan arrives with a golden pre-seasoned finish. The colour will darken on first use — this is normal and exactly what should happen - and will continue to blacken the more you use it.
Baking in the pan is the best way to build an even seasoning quickly. Roast potatoes, focaccia, cornbread — anything that fills the pan and uses oil at a consistently high heat. Each meal adds another naturally non-stick layer.
The №12 is perfect for the full family, so the more you cook in it the faster the seasoning develops. Use it as your default pan for the first few weeks and it will reward you quickly.
CARE & CLEANING
Washing: Soap is perfectly fine but never put it in the dishwasher, and never leave it to soak overnight.
Scrubbing: A chainmail scrubber is the best tool. It removes stuck food while helping seasoning develop evenly. Essential and inexpensive.
Drying: Dry vertically on a rack — the lettering on the base can collect water. Alternatively, give it a brief blast of heat on the hob after washing.
Storage: A very light wipe of oil before putting it away. That's it.
If something goes wrong with the seasoning, don't worry — cast iron is forgiving and almost impossible to ruin permanently. We also offer a free re-seasoning service: if the seasoning is ever not right, send it back to Stockport and we'll restore it once, free of charge.
About the Manufacturing
The №12 Skillet is cast in Dorset and machined and finished in Stockport, England. It is made by Hornbeam Cookware, a brand from Castrads - a family-owned bespoke cast iron radiator manufacturer with over 20 years of foundry experience.
In 2020 we began onshoring our radiator casting, working with innovative UK foundries and a world-leading academic to develop pouring systems that practically eliminate casting defects. We apply that same methodology to our skillets.
The result is a pan with a cooking surface quality that, in our view, is the best available on the market today.
