Durable, smooth, and light - the Lancaster No. 8 Cast Iron skillet is bringing tradition back to your kitchen through iconic design and American-made quality. We are proud to offer a Made in the USA cast iron pan, created by partnering exclusively with locally-owned and operated businesses. The process is local end to end. The Lancaster No. 8 cast iron skillet is made in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster No. 8 features a smooth, pre-seasoned cooking surface, a traditional stout handle, large pour spouts, a helper handle, and a lightweight yet strong construction that feels natural in any chef’s hands. This is a combination of features that can’t be found on other modern cast iron pans. With the No. 8 Lancaster pan in your home, you will be taking part in a generational American tradition.

Why the number "8"? - Our cookware uses traditional American cast iron sizing metrics dating back to the 1800s. The numbers correlate to the size of eyes on antique wood stoves as cast iron cookware and wood stoves often went hand in hand. The number 8 is traditionally a top diameter 10.5" 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.
