Cast Iron Frying Pan KRISBERG KS-7739 31 cm with Silicone Handle Cover

KRISBERG KS-7739 is a 31 cm cast iron frying pan engineered for even heat retention and reliable searing performance. The heavy-gauge cast iron base distributes and holds heat for consistent cooking, while the removable silicone handle cover provides thermal protection and improved grip. Designed for use on stovetops and in ovens where cast iron is suitable, this pan supports frying, searing, braising and slow cooking at steady temperatures.

Advantages

The solid cast iron construction offers durable heat retention and an even cooking surface that browns and sears foods consistently. The 31 cm diameter provides a practical cooking area for family portions, and the removable silicone handle cover reduces direct contact with hot metal while improving grip and handling. Compatibility with many heat sources, including gas, electric and oven use, makes this pan versatile in everyday kitchen tasks.

Suitable for

• Pan-frying steaks, chops and vegetables
• Searing proteins to develop a crust
• Braising and shallow roasting in the oven
• Slow-cooking dishes that benefit from steady heat

When it may not be suitable

This cast iron pan is heavy compared with thinner cookware, so it may be less convenient for users who need lightweight pans or have limited wrist strength. It requires periodic seasoning and specific care to maintain its protective surface and prevent rusting, which may not suit buyers seeking low-maintenance nonstick cookware.

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron cooking surface
• Diameter: 31 cm cooking area
• Handle protection: removable silicone cover for heat insulation and grip
• Suitable heat sources: gas, electric, ceramic hob and oven (where cast iron is appropriate)
• Primary uses: frying, searing, braising, slow cooking

How to use

Preheat the cast iron pan gradually to allow even temperature distribution before adding food. Use moderate to high heat for searing and lower heat for simmering or slow cooking. Apply a thin layer of oil or fat to the cooking surface as needed to assist browning and to protect the seasoned surface. Fit the silicone handle cover when the handle is hot to improve grip and safety; remove it after cleaning to dry the metal thoroughly.

What to consider before purchase

• Cast iron weight and handling requirements
• Need for seasoning and specific cleaning (avoid prolonged soaking and abrasive detergents)
• Compatibility with your stovetop and oven
• Storage space for a heavy, 31 cm pan

Usage recommendations

For long-lasting performance, season the pan regularly by applying a thin oil layer and heating it. Avoid thermal shock by allowing the pan to cool gradually before washing, and dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Use the silicone handle cover while cooking to reduce the risk of burns and improve handling when moving the pan in and out of the oven.
