{"product_id":"forge-skillet-8-in","title":"Forge Skillet 8 in","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Forge Skillet 8 in is the light pan you reach for every morning: 21 cm across the rim (8.3 in), 15 cm of flat cooking surface, 4 cm deep, 0.9 kg (2.0 lb). Made from 2 mm carbon steel, it heats in under a minute and cools almost as fast, which is what eggs and crepes want. Sides slope outward so a crepe slides onto the plate and an omelet folds with a tilt. It ships pre-seasoned, so the first eggs can go in after a rinse and a warm-up with oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe steel handle is 20 cm long and leaves no rivet heads on the cooking surface. Oven-safe to 650 °C (1200 °F), which in practice means any oven and any broiler, and it works on induction. Hand wash without soap, dry on the burner, and wipe on a little oil. The pan darkens with use; that is the seasoning building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 15 cm of cooking surface enough for an omelet?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, for a three-egg omelet or two crepes at a time. For a larger flat surface in the same steel, the Forge Skillet 10 in has 19.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy no soap?\u003c\/strong\u003e The seasoning on carbon steel is a thin layer of polymerized oil, and detergent wears it back. Hot water and a brush do the job; a pea-sized dab of Bench Seasoning Wax after drying keeps the surface dark and slick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Bench Handle Sleeve go on the Forge 8 in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The 20 cm steel handle is inside the sleeve's 15 to 24 cm range, and the sleeve stays on in the oven to 230 °C. Take it off for the broiler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhitesmith: finished by hand, guaranteed for life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whitesmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64597726527859,"sku":"FORGE-SKILLE-STE","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/8039\/8195\/files\/forge-skillet-8-in-steel-three-quarter.png?v=1788426795","url":"https:\/\/whitesmithcookware.com\/products\/forge-skillet-8-in","provider":"Whitesmith Cookware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
