Vermicular 10.2 inch Oven Safe Skillet with Lid

$245.00

Our kitchen team was, quite frankly, stunned by the Vermicular 10-inch skillet. Weighing in at 2.4 pounds, it is at least 50% thinner than other cast-iron skillets, making it the lightest skillet we’ve tried. Durably designed and nonreactive, it features a heat-resistant enameled surface and an oven-safe aluminum handle. The pan cooks more like stainless steel than cast iron thanks to its thinness, which makes it heat more quickly, but it offers the nonstick and cleaning advantages of enameled cast iron. And it still retains heat well and evenly like cast iron. It’s the perfect skillet for searing or stir-frying. The skillet also comes with a stainless steel lid with an attached cast-iron handle that’s designed to be stood upright to avoid touching a dirty counter. Use to sauté veggies, fry an egg, sear a steak or make the perfect crispy grilled cheese.

How to use

Hotter and faster, that’s the trick.

The thin, lightweight design of the Vermicular skillet starts with molten iron heated to 2700℉—hotter than most brands—and then poured into sand molds in a few seconds—a fraction of the time of other brands—to ensure durability for such an even, extremely thin product. Finally, the skillet is baked at 1500℉ before the enamel coating is applied in a precise way to avoid warping.
