Cast Iron Skillets For the Home Chef

Equip your kitchen with one or more cast iron skillets for versatile cooking options. Williams Sonoma has cast iron frying pans from brands such as Le Creuset, FINEX and Lodge, so you can find the cookware that's right for you.

Advantages of Cast Iron Frying Pans

There are plenty of advantages when it comes to cast iron skillets. They're incredibly durable, but that's not the only reason to own one. These pans heat quickly and evenly, and some have vibrant enameled exteriors to coordinate with your kitchen decor. The Le Creuset Signature fry pan comes in a rainbow of colors, including red, lapis and French grey to name just a few. Unlike other types of cast iron cookware, this pan has a black enameled exterior that requires no seasoning before use.

Staub makes a similar fry pan, which also comes in an array of neutral and bright colors. This 11-inch pan has high sides to prevent sloshing, and it's highly resistant to scratches, cracks and other types of damage. The matte black interior is enhanced with quartz for optimum browning and transfer. Use this French-made fry pan with any cooktop.

If you want a traditional black cast iron pan, there are multiple options from Lodge. The Lodge seasoned cast iron skillet comes in various sizes ranging from 6-1/2 inches to 15-1/4 inches. It has a stick-resistant, preseasoned interior surface that's ready to use right away and its durable cast iron construction delivers excellent heat transfer and retention.

FINEX also makes cast iron frying pans, such as the copper-handled fry pan. It has an octagon shape for mess-free pouring, and it's seasoned with organic flaxseed oil to prevent food from sticking. Like the other cast iron pans, this one heats quickly and evenly. The copper-coated spring handle cools quickly for safe handling and is ergonomically designed for comfort.
