Skeppshult’s professional cast iron and stainless steel sauté pan is ideal for risottos, slow-cooked sauces and Spanish tortillas. Pre-seasoned with canola oil, this sturdy pan has a non-stick surface and gets better with age. 

The glass lid is heat resistant up to 200°C for even, consistent cooking. You can use this pan on all types of hob, from gas to electric, and its stainless steel handle makes it suitable for use in ovens and over open-flames. With its classic, long-lasting design, it’s designed to be passed down through generations. 

This pan measures 25cm in diameter. 

If you prefer a more classic design, that isn’t oven-safe, you can buy the same pan with a beech wood handle here. 

Swedish company Skeppshult (pronounced ‘hep-salt’) has been making cast iron products by hand since 1906. The process starts with raw iron, which is heated to a searing 1,500°C in a furnace. Then the molten metal is cast into special moulds made from sand, which can withstand the extreme temperatures.

Sand moulds can only be used once, and therefore each product is unique – no two items are the same. Each sand mould is recycled and used for another product. Skeppshult seasons its cast iron with rapeseed oil (also called canola oil) from Österlen to protect it from damage. This also gives the cast iron its natural non-stick properties.

Skeppshult’s cast iron is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic-coated aluminium pans.
