{"product_id":"hearth-skillet-8-in","title":"Hearth Skillet 8 in","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hearth Skillet 8 in is the smallest pan in the range: 21 cm across the rim (8.3 in), 16.5 cm of flat cooking surface, 4.5 cm deep, 1.9 kg (4.2 lb). It is the pan for one or two eggs, a single steak, or a pancake at a time, and it is light enough to bring to the table. The cooking surface is cast iron machined flat and smooth, the way a whitesmith finished a rough casting; it ships bare and builds a seasoning as any bare iron does. The exterior is vitreous enamel in Flint, Clay or Sage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe walls are 4 mm cast iron. The 15 cm handle is cast in one piece with the body, with a helper tab opposite it and a pour spout on each side. Oven-safe to 260 °C (500 °F), and it works on induction. No lid is included, and no Bench lid is made in this size. Hand wash, dry it on a warm burner, and wipe the iron with a little oil before it goes back on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 8 in big enough for two people?\u003c\/strong\u003e For eggs, yes: the 16.5 cm cooking surface takes two eggs or one steak at a time. For two portions of anything larger, the Hearth Skillet 10 in has a 21 cm surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the cooking surface need seasoning?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. It is bare machined iron, and it seasons the same way as any bare cast iron: cook with fat, dry it on the burner, wipe on a thin coat of oil. The Bench Seasoning Wax is measured for exactly that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Bench Handle Sleeve fit the 8 in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The sleeve slides over the 15 cm handle and stays on in the oven to 230 °C. The Bench lids start at 10 in, so this pan is used uncovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhitesmith: finished by hand, guaranteed for life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whitesmith","offers":[{"title":"Flint","offer_id":64597715288435,"sku":"HEARTH-SKILL-FLI","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clay","offer_id":64597715321203,"sku":"HEARTH-SKILL-CLA","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage","offer_id":64597715353971,"sku":"HEARTH-SKILL-SAG","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/8039\/8195\/files\/hearth-skillet-8-in-flint-three-quarter.png?v=1788426685","url":"https:\/\/whitesmithcookware.com\/products\/hearth-skillet-8-in","provider":"Whitesmith Cookware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
