# Seasoned Cast Iron Frying Pan - Made In The first cast iron engineered for the demands of professional kitchens, our 8" Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet is built to chef spec, and guaranteed for life. The first cast iron engineered for the demands of professional kitchens, our 8" Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet is built to chef spec, and guaranteed for life. ## Description Our American-Made Cast Iron is sand-cast at a single American foundry, then machined, precision-turned, and buffed to a consistently smooth finish that lets seasoning bond evenly, cook after cook. Each pan arrives pre-seasoned in our proprietary organic flaxseed oil blend, prized for its smooth polymerization and golden finish. The walls are precision-turned to be subtly thinner than the base, preserving heat retention right at the cooking surface while cutting overall weight. Designed for how chefs actually cook with cast iron, not how it's always been made, our 8" Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet is the small pan with chef-grade balance. Sized for a fried egg, a single-portion sear, or a garlic-butter finish, its interior follows a chef-informed bowl shape that mirrors the curve of a basting spoon. The Trigger Grip Handle carries Made In's iconic Stainless ergonomics into cast iron, and Dual Pour Spouts on both sides let you pour with your dominant hand. Safe for gas, electric, induction, oven, and live fire. ## Dimensions - Total Length: 15.63" - Total Diameter: 8.00" - Total Height: 1.50" - Weight: 3.6 lbs ## Care For most meals, cleaning cast iron takes less than five minutes. - Let the pan cool slightly - Rinse with hot water and scrub - A small amount of mild soap is completely fine to use if you want to cut grease or fully clean the pan. - Dry thoroughly. - Once dry, apply a very thin layer of seasoning wax or high-smoke point oil. - Place the lightly oiled pan over medium-high until you see faint wisps of smoke. ## Care For most meals, cleaning cast iron takes less than five minutes. - Let the pan cool slightly - Rinse with hot water and scrub - A small amount of mild soap is completely fine to use if you want to cut grease or fully clean the pan. - Dry thoroughly. - Once dry, apply a very thin layer of seasoning wax or high-smoke point oil. - Place the lightly oiled pan over medium-high until you see faint wisps of smoke. - [Detailed Usage and Safety Instructions](https://madeincookware.com/pages/detailed-usage-safety-instructions) ## Shipping, Warranty, and Returns - We offer easy shipping options for the US and EU.

I’ve been cooking with cast iron for years. The “Made In” skillet adds a new dimension. Extremely well made, a positive joy for anyone who appreciates the advantages of cooking with cast iron. — Gary ### ★★★★★ Awsome Right off the start, a winner. I cooked Calabrian chili, garlic, broccolini that came out perfect. I have cooked this dish hundreds of times but this pan made the perfect dish as I just cooked it. — Bd58 ### ★★★★★ Best cast iron. Best cast iron I've ever used. Love the machined finish and that it's seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. — CB ### ★★★★★ Better buy this skillet! This is an EXCELLENT cast iron skillet. It is a fair bit lighter than my other 12" skillet made by Lodge. I especially like the smooth interior bottom as it is better for non-stick. (Also like the color, though I know the color wont last as it further seasons.) — Doug Price in Alabama ### ★★★★★ New 12" Skillet Very happy with my new skillet. It seems light weight for its size. It cleans up nicely. — Drew S ### ★★★★★ New Favorite Pan Beautiful Pan that has found a permanent spot on my stove. Still brraking it in and abdolutely love it. — Scott2667 ### ★★★★★ Best cast iron pan I’ve ever used I usually find cast iron too heavy, but want it for its cooking and baking properties. I have had cheaper ones that I found too heavy and cumbersome. I decided to spring for this one, a 10” size, and I’m really pleased. So much smoother, someone lighter, and holds heat so well I sometimes turn it off before I fry eggs to go with the bacon I just cooked. The eggs cook beautifully in just the retained heat. Another thing I really like is the large helper handle and the shape of the regular handle. I once had a certain company’s enameled cast iron skillet slip right out of my hands onto the floor because the helper handle was way too small and had no way to grip it securely. Finally, the first time I used it there was some sticking. I heated a bit of water and brought it to a simmer to help me scrape off the burned on bits. I unfortunately stepped away a bit too long and when I came back it had boiled away and left some areas that looked like rust. I am pleased to say I thoroughly cleaned and dried it and then did a stove top re-seasoning with a bit of oil and it was just fine! I am now enjoying using it regularly. — Sandra K ### ★★★★★ Nice finish Love it, great pan for steaks and bacon — Frank ### ★★★★★ THE CAST IRON SHANGRILA by Experienced Chef I have been a professional chef since 1991 and have multiple sets of knives and cookware. I must say that the new season cast iron skillet is one of the best pans I have used as far as performance in heat retention, ease of use and nonstick capability. I already own a set of a well known brand of traditional cast iron and the leading brand of stainless steel pans as well. This pans sits on my stove top and I have been using it almost daily. I usually don’t give reviews, howerver I think this pan warrants one! — Chef P ### ★★★★★ Perfect Cast Iron! Beautiful cast iron pan! It heats evenly and comes already seasoned which is fantastic! Highly Recommend!! — SueSue ### ★★★★★ The little pan that can I live alone and needed a smaller pan for some basic comfort food. Having recently purchased other Made In products, I knew the quality was excellent. I saw this pan and immediately purchased it. It’s been perfect for eggs and grilled cheese. Absolutely love it! — TM71 ### ★★★★★ It’s a keeper, and I didn’t want it to be In all transparency, as an avid home cook who owns quite an array of Lodge and Le Creuset cast iron pieces, I mostly purchased the Made In 10 inch cast iron skillet out of curiosity. My assumption at the time was that I would try it out and most likely return it before the return window expired. At least that was the plan, as I don’t need another 10 inch cast iron skillet. Or so I thought. What I didn’t foresee is just how much I would love this pan and not want to part with it. It is smooth as glass, well balanced, and virtually non-stick right out of the box. Also, at first I thought I wouldn’t like the feel of the trigger style handle, but I quickly became a convert. Each time I’ve cooked with it, I’ve grown fonder and more impressed. So when I say this pan’s a keeper, what I’m really saying is that is despite my plan to the contrary, I just couldn’t bring myself to part with it. It’s worth every penny. — Hoarder of Cookbooks ### ★★★★★ Love that it is pre-seasoned It is a beautiful pan, very unusual color for cast iron. I have had cast iron before but never managed to season it properly so the fact that it is pre-seasoned is a bug selling point. — Pat Parke ### ★★★★★ Best pan, period. Quality, endurance, even heat, gorgeous. Better with more use. Cannot beat this one. — TonyL ### ★★★★★ Wow, incredibly nonstick Very impressed with this pan. I went back and forth in my head whether or not to buy it. I had no experience with a polished cast iron pan. I've been using "regular" cast iron pans for years and wasn't convinced a polished one would be that different. It truly is super nonstick. Definitely one of my favorite pans now, if not my most favorite! — Ryan ### ★★★★★ Checks all the boxes Amazing right out of the box. I love cooking on cast iron and this pan is my new fav — Matt ### ★★★★★ Perfection Has A Name - Made In If I’ve looked at one iron skillet, I have looked at dozens. I’ve been needing one for quite some time and based on reputation alone, I decided I would try one of the 12” pans from Made In. I could not be more impressed with this fry pan. The weight, finish and matching lid are impeccable. People have commented on how beautiful the pan is and told me that I need to put it in my last will and testament to go to them. 😂 Buy it! You won’t regret it! — Matt Dee ### ★★★★★ Love the Pan I am a huge fan of Made-In Pans. The food just comes out better with the even heat distribution and capabilities of high tems — Josh ### ★★★★★ — FR35DOM ### ★★★★★ Cooks and Looks Great So far this cast iron skillet is perfect! Cooks great and looks greats : ) Brings a delicious flavor to everything I’ve cooked so far. — Tyler T ### ★★★★★ The best This is literally the best cast iron skillet I have ever used. I wish I bought the set of 3. Cooks my eggs perfect and they do not stick. I will most likely purchase more. — JennyO ### ★★★★★ Modern Take On Cast Iron This is a great update to the classic cast iron pan. Well made, pre seasoned and lighter weight, there’s a lot to love about this Made In version of a kitchen classic. — Ken S ### ★★★★★ New cast iron skillet, nice quality I bought to use on the grill and like the quality and the fact it is pre-seasoned. — Kathy B ### ★★★★★ A step up for cast iron I’m very pleased with the smooth surface, have only cooked in it twice and already building a good start on a seasoned surface. The second helper handle and lighter weight are what convinced me to purchase and are a relief for my aching wrists and hands. — Shirley W ### ★★★★★ Best cast iron pans I've ever owned I absolutely love this pan! I now have the 10" and 12" and use both of them almost every day. They sear protein amazingly well and go from stove to oven perfectly. The pans are deeper than most cast iron as well so they hold a lot of food at one time. The pans are seasoned well and are non-stick right out of the box. I love watching them get darker and darker as I continue to season them. Amazing pans! Please buy a set for yourself. — Chris D ### ★★★★★ Definitely worth the money 10/10 recommend, easy to use and not too heavy compared to other brand — R ### ★★★★★ Gorgeous pan! This pan is a beauty. I have used it a couple of times and it is seasoning well and already very low stick. I love it. I am very pleased with this purchase. I am considering one of their ceramic coated stainless steel next. — Michelle D. ### ★★★★★ Lighter weight, great quality I have family heirloom cast iron skillets that I love but are incredibly heavy for daily cooking. I was intrigued by not only the appearance but others observations that these are lighter weight and easier to use on a daily basis. I've already cooked 2 meals per day in these for the last two weeks and they're much easier to handle. I also love their unique appearance. — Michelle L ### ★★★★★ Cast iron skillet Made in cast iron skillet is great, very versatile pan nicely made very easy to handle and cooks evenly, very happy with this purchase, also purchased the bigger cast iron skillet as well, both very good, professional quality. — J ### ★★★★★ Well Made Updated and modern construction to cast iron. Fits right into the kitchen attire. This is a beautiful piece. — HS --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/products/cast-iron-fry-pan
