Cooking with an uncoated cast iron pan is synonymous with cooking in its purest form. The untreated cast iron has no chemicals such as PFAS, PFOA and PTFE, making for a safe cooking experience.

That is why all cast iron pans from Skottsberg have already been pre-seasoned twice, resulting in a 100% natural non-stick coating. This non-stick coating contains no harmful substances and provides the non-stick quality. Plus point: by properly maintaining your non-stick cast iron pan and re-seasoning it with a natural oil, it will last a lifetime if used correctly.
