The bestselling Always Pan just got even more iconic. For a limited-time only, be one of the first people in the world to get your hands on our new cast iron Always Pan. Made from heirloom-quality, super-easy-to-care-for enameled cast iron, our newest version of the Always Pan will change the way you cook at home…forever.
- Black matte enameled cast iron interior for superior browning, no seasoning required
- Glossy (easy-to-clean) exterior in our iconic colors
- Moves seamlessly from stovetop to oven to broiler
- Compatible with all stovetops (induction, too!)
- 9.5 in. diameter, 2.25 in height (5.5 in. with lid), 17.8 in. total length, 1.9 quart capacity
- 6.9 lbs. body a.k.a. just the right weight for even heating (no hot spots) and maximum heat retention
- Nesting beechwood spatula with integrated spoon rest
- A modular, high-visibility glass lid to trap and release steam
- Handy silicone Hot Grips custom-fit for the long and short handles for safe maneuvering
Care & Use
- With the lid, the pan is oven safe up to 425°F. Without the lid, it’s oven and broiler safe up to 500°F.
- Be careful! Stovetop or oven, cast iron gets hot. To make the most of your included silicone Hot Grips, only use them when it’s time to handle your pan (they’ll get hot too if left on!).
- Only wash fully cooled pans, please! Hand wash it with warm soapy water and dry it immediately after (dishwashers not recommended).
- Deglazing isn’t just for good sauces! You can also deep clean by boiling water and a sprinkle of baking soda, nudging caked-on bits with your spatula (no scours).
Iron is a chemical element; it has symbol Fe (from Latin ferrum 'iron') and atomic number 26. It is a metal that belongs to the first transition series and group 8 of the periodic table. It is, by mass, the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, being mainly deposited by meteorites in its metallic state.
Extracting usable metal from iron ores requires kilns or furnaces capable of reaching 1,500 °C (2,730 °F), about 500 °C (900 °F) higher than that required to smelt copper. Humans started to master that process in Eurasia during the 2nd millennium BC and the use of iron tools and weapons began to displace copper alloys – in some regions, only around 1200 BC. That event is considered the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. In the modern world, iron alloys, such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron and special steels, are by far the most common industrial metals, due to their mechanical properties and low cost. The iron and steel industry is thus very important economically, and iron is the cheapest metal, with a price of a few dollars per kilogram or pound.
Pristine and smooth pure iron surfaces are a mirror-like silvery-gray. Iron reacts readily with oxygen and water to produce brown-to-black hydrated iron oxides, commonly known as rust. Unlike the oxides of some other metals that form passivating layers, rust occupies more volume than the metal and thus flakes off, exposing more fresh surfaces for corrosion. Chemically, the most common oxidation states of iron are iron(II) and iron(III). Iron shares many properties of other transition metals, including the other group 8 elements, ruthenium and osmium. Iron forms compounds in a wide range of oxidation states, −4 to +7. Iron also forms many coordination complexes; some of them, such as ferrocene, ferrioxalate, and Prussian blue have substantial industrial, medical, or research applications.
The body of an adult human contains about 4 grams (0.005% body weight) of iron, mostly in hemoglobin and myoglobin. These two proteins play essential roles in oxygen transport by blood and oxygen storage in muscles. To maintain the necessary levels, human iron metabolism requires a minimum of iron in the diet. Iron is also the metal at the active site of many important redox enzymes dealing with cellular respiration and oxidation and reduction in plants and animals.
