Cast Iron Frying Pan ORION 30 cm – heavy-duty stovetop skillet, oven-safe cooking pan

ORION cast iron frying pan, 30 cm diameter, designed to provide even heat distribution and long-term durability. This heavy-duty stovetop skillet is suitable for use on gas, electric and ceramic hobs and is oven-safe for finishing or slow-cooking recipes. The pan delivers strong heat retention and a robust cooking surface appropriate for searing, frying and braising in both home and professional kitchens.

Advantages

The cast iron construction ensures consistent heat distribution across the 30 cm cooking surface and maintains temperature for extended periods, reducing hot spots during cooking. Its durable build resists deformation and wear, offering long service life with proper care. The surface is compatible with high-temperature techniques and adapts well to different heat sources, while the oven-safe design expands cooking options from stovetop searing to oven finishing.

Suitable for

• Searing steaks, chops and fish
• Pan-frying vegetables and stir-fries
• Slow-cooking and braising on stovetop or in oven
• Preparing one-pan meals and skillet bakes
• High-heat techniques like blackening or crisping

How to use

Preheat the pan gradually to the desired temperature to ensure even heating. Use an appropriate amount of cooking fat to create a non-stick surface for frying and searing. When moving from stovetop to oven, use oven-safe handles or oven mitts and place the pan on a middle rack to ensure uniform cooking. After use, allow the pan to cool before cleaning; avoid rapid temperature changes to protect the cast iron structure.

Usage recommendations

Season the pan before first use and periodically thereafter by applying a thin layer of neutral oil and heating it to create a protective layer. Clean with warm water and a brush or non-abrasive pad; avoid dishwashers and harsh detergents to preserve seasoning. Store in a dry place to prevent rust and re-season if surface dulling or minor rust spots appear.
