The TRUE Culinary Revolution

Stop the cycle of buying "disposable" non-stick pans every two years. Modern non-stick coatings are made of synthetic polymers that degrade and shed microplastics into your family's food. The Lancaster No. 10 Skillet is a return to permanent, healthy cooking. Crafted, machined, and seasoned in Pennsylvania, USA, this skillet features a smooth-machined cooking surface reminiscent of vintage Griswolds. It offers a naturally non-stick experience that actually improves with age, rather than wearing out.

A Healthy SHIFT Essential

Heirloom quality shouldn't mean back-breaking weight. The Lancaster No. 10 is engineered to be 1-2 lbs lighter than other modern cast iron pans, weighing in at just 6 lbs. This allows for superior heat control and maneuverability while maintaining the legendary heat retention of iron. With a helper handle for stability and dual pour spouts for precision, this pan is compatible with gas, induction, glass-top, and even campfires. This is 100% plastic-free, PFAS-free cookware built to be passed down through generations.

Risk Assessment Comparison

Benefits Drawbacks
Superior Health & Safety Hidden Health Risks
100% Iron and Oil. Naturally adds beneficial iron to your diet; zero risk of "Teflon flu" or chemical off-gassing. Coated pans release toxic fumes if overheated and shed PFAS microplastics as the coating inevitably scratches.
Guaranteed Lifetime Durability Short Lifespan & High Waste
Indestructible. Cannot be "ruined." If the seasoning is lost, it can be simply re-oiled and restored. Designed to fail. Once the non-stick coating begins to peel (usually 1-3 years), the pan must be thrown away.
Best Long-Term Value High Compounding Cost
Saves ~$1,500 over a lifetime. This is a one-time purchase that actually improves in performance over time. Requires recurring spending on replacement pans every few years for the rest of your life.
Zero-Waste Commitment Significant Environmental Impact
American Made. Low carbon footprint from shipping; no toxic chemicals produced during manufacturing. Production involves hazardous chemical waste (PFAS) and generates massive landfill volume.
High-Performance Searing Performance Failure
Exceptional heat retention. Achieves a restaurant-quality sear that thin non-stick pans simply cannot match. Low heat retention. Coatings degrade quickly, causing food to stick more over time than on seasoned iron.

Conclusion & Review Summary

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND

Initial Seasoning Care

While it comes pre-seasoned, cast iron requires a "break-in" period. You must avoid acidic foods (like tomato sauce) for the first few uses to protect the finish.

 Maintenance Ritual

Cast iron is not "set and forget." It requires a simple hand-wash and oiling routine. It is never dishwasher safe, as harsh detergents strip the seasoning.

Handle Temperature

The iron handle will become extremely hot during use. Always use a high-quality pot holder or silicone handle cover (sold separately).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is it ready to use out of the box?
A: Yes! It comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil and is ready for your first meal immediately.

Q: How do I clean it?
A: Hand-wash with warm water (a tiny bit of mild soap is fine). Dry it immediately and thoroughly on the stove, then rub in a very light coat of oil.

Q: Can I use it on a glass-top stove?
A: Yes. The smooth-machined bottom and lighter weight make it safer for glass-top stoves than traditional heavy cast iron.

Q: What is a "No. 10" size?
A: It has an 11-5/8 inch diameter, making it the perfect "main course" size for cooking family meals, searing steaks, or baking cornbread.

Q: Will it rust?
A: If left wet, yes. However, rust is only surface-level. You can simply scrub it off and re-season the pan to make it like new again.
