Cast Iron's heavy-duty nature makes it a perfect addition to your cooking arsenal. Viking Cast Iron will distribute and retain the heat evenly, allowing the pan to reach and maintain ideal cooking temperatures. Featuring both a flat side and a grooved, grill-pan style side, this pan is ideal for everything from pancakes to a Porterhouse. Viking Cast Iron is safe for use on the stove, the grill, and in the oven, while being elegant enough to take directly to the table for serving.
