The No. 4 is our everyday skillet, ideal for cooking eggs, sides, and individual portions at home or on the go. This kitchen essential is perfectly sized to be the most common companion to the No. 8 skillet. The lightweight and sleek design of this pan makes it an excellent choice for use on the stovetop, in the oven, and as a serving dish for gatherings with family and friends.

The Lancaster No. 4 features a smooth, pre-seasoned cooking surface, a traditional stout handle, large pour spouts, helper handle, and a lightweight yet strong construction that feels natural in any chef’s hands. With the No. 4 Lancaster pan in your home, you will be taking part in a generational American tradition.

Why the number "4"? - Our cookware uses traditional American cast iron sizing metrics dating back to the 1800s. The numbers correlate to the size of ports on antique wood stoves as cast iron cookware and wood stoves often went hand in hand. The number 4 is traditionally a top diameter 7" skillet.

First Time Use

Your skill is preseasoned and ready to use in your kitchen. Use extra cooking oil and avoid cooking acidic foods like tomato sauce and white wine for the first dozen meals.

Continued Care

After cooking, wipe it out with a paper towel. Rinse off and dry the skillet thoroughly. If food is stuck, use soapy water and chainmail to clean.

Your skillet will darken as the seasoning builds and the cooking surface will feel as smooth as glass. If your skillet looks blotchy or seasoning comes off, keep using it! It will improve with time, heat, and oil.
