Clearance Traditional Cast Iron Deep Saute Pan with Lid, 25cm Pots & Pans

The Skeppshult traditional cast iron deep saute pan with a lid is a fantastic choice for large stovetop recipes such as risottos, fricassees or Spanish omelettes. The glass lid means you can keep an eye on recipes as they cook, and also keep in extra heat for even cooking.

The side lip makes it easy to carry this pan straight to the table. Meanwhile, the long beechwood handle doesn’t conduct heat, so you can move the pan without using a glove.

You can use this pan on all types of hob, including induction, and the 5mm thick base guarantees a consistent heat, thanks to the precision milled concave base. However, the wooden handle is not suitable for oven use. This stylish pan is designed to last from generation to generation.

The pan measures 25cm across.

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.

Skeppshult pans are all carefully oiled and seasoned by hand before they leave the factory. You may notice some oil marks around the base of the handle, as a result of this. Any small markings will lift off easily by re-oiling the pan and allowing it to dry.
