The Judge Speciality 24cm Cast Iron Skillet is a heavyweight traditional frying pan designed for versatile cooking on the stovetop, in the oven, on a BBQ, under a grill or over a campfire. Made from solid cast iron, the skillet is designed to retain heat effectively and maintain cooking temperatures for longer, making it particularly suitable for searing, frying, baking and slow cooking.

The 24cm round cooking surface provides a practical size for everyday meals, while the high-sided design offers additional depth for dishes that require more ingredients or cooking liquid. With a listed capacity of 2.2 litres, the skillet can be used for searing steaks, frying eggs, cooking chicken and vegetables, preparing deep-pan pizza, baking cornbread and making pasta bakes.

Cast iron is known for its strong heat retention properties. Once heated, the heavy cookware can maintain a high and stable cooking temperature, making it useful for browning and searing meat. The retained heat can also continue cooking food after the heat source has been reduced, which is useful for dishes requiring sustained cooking temperatures.

The skillet is designed for use across a wide range of heat sources. It is suitable for gas, halogen, ceramic and solid plate hobs and is induction compatible. It can also be used in an oven, on a BBQ, under a grill or on a campfire, providing flexibility for both indoor and outdoor cooking.

The natural cast iron finish is designed not to flake, chip or peel. Unlike factory-applied synthetic nonstick coatings, the cooking surface can be developed through seasoning. Applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating the pan appropriately helps build a seasoned surface that can improve food release and provide additional protection against moisture and rust.

The pan does not have a synthetic nonstick coating and requires appropriate cast iron care. Regular seasoning is recommended, particularly after cleaning, to maintain the surface and help protect the cookware from rust. The pan should be dried thoroughly after washing and lightly coated with cooking oil when appropriate.

The skillet is not dishwasher safe. Cast iron should generally be cleaned by hand and should not be left submerged in water for extended periods. Careful maintenance helps preserve the natural surface and extend the working life of the cookware.

The Judge Speciality Cast Iron Skillet is suitable for cooks looking for a durable, versatile pan that can move between different cooking environments. Its high sides, 2.2-litre capacity and strong heat retention make it suitable for everything from everyday frying to oven-baked dishes and outdoor cooking.
