YETI™ 10 Cast Iron Skillet

While your pan comes pre-seasoned, it is not yet fully non-stick and will become more non-stick with time. We recommend cooking with anything that fills the pan, uses oil or fat, and gets cooked at a consistently high heat for your first few uses.

Yes, you can use dish soap. And yes, some of your seasoning might disappear in the process. But that’s okay. The oil or fat from your next meal will help. Absolutely no dishwashers, though.

Immediately after washing, heat your skillet on the stove to evaporate any and all residual water. Then, right after drying, lightly coat all surfaces with a refined, neutral oil like canola. Wipe out the excess oil with a clean dish towel.

Heat your skillet on your burner over a low to medium heat. Next, use a cloth to coat the skillet with a thin layer of neutral cooking oil on all surfaces and turn the heat to high. Heat the skillet until it starts smoking and leave it over the heat until the pan stops smoking. Your skillet will be hot, so remember to use a mitt (we prefer silicone) when handling it.

No, do not put it in the dishwasher. It will rust... And rust isn’t good. To avoid it, hand wash and heat the skillet on the stove to evaporate any residual water. When not in use, store in a cool dry place. Do not leave outside.

Most cast iron pans feature these marks, but because our pans are cast with a ceramic mould to produce a hyper-smooth finish, they may be more noticeable. These marks are not considered damage and do not affect the performance of your pan, and over time will fill in with seasoning.
