Crock Pot Artisan Enameled 12" Round Cast Iron Skillet in Scarlet Red

The Crock-Pot Artisan is a 12-inch scarlet red enameled cast-iron skillet for home cooks who want even heat retention and a pan suited to searing, frying, roasting, and stir-frying on gas, electric, ceramic, or induction cooktops.

Recommended For

• Home cooks who sear steaks or brown chicken on the stovetop and want to finish the dish in the oven; the skillet is oven-safe to 500°F, and a professional review found the Crock-Pot Artisan pan browned quickly.
• Cooks who want a roomy skillet for larger portions of steak, chicken, eggs, or burgers and value cast iron’s heat retention; Crock-Pot positions this 12-inch pan for those foods.
• People who want enameled cast iron without maintaining a seasoning layer, including cooks who often make acidic sauces; enameled cast iron is lower-maintenance than bare cast iron and can be used with acidic foods.
• Cooks who want to serve dishes straight from the stove or oven in the same pan; its enameled finish and cast-iron construction suit stovetop-to-oven cooking and serving.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When browning steaks or chicken for dinner, the skillet’s cast-iron construction retains heat for searing; you can then move it to the oven to finish cooking without transferring the food to another pan.
• When cooking chicken with mushrooms and making a quick pan sauce, use the skillet to sauté the ingredients together, then pour the sauce through its spouts for serving.
• When preparing a larger stovetop meal, the 12-inch cooking surface gives you room to cook several portions at once; its cast-iron body holds heat as you work through the batch.
• When baking a skillet dessert such as peach cobbler, cook it in the oven-safe pan and bring the skillet to the table for serving.
• When a recipe starts on the stovetop and finishes in the oven, such as a browned dish that needs further cooking, move the skillet directly between heat sources; use potholders because the handles can be hot.
