Designer's notes

Handmade to order, the Heirloom by Ironclad Co. is, quite simply, the world's finest cast iron.

This extraordinary skillet features Ironclad's trademark Antique Finish™ — an unequalled cast iron surface inspired by antique cast iron made in the 1800s. This immaculate finish impossibly covers the entire surface of the Heirloom. In a world of cookware, this is a work of art.

Cast into the base of the 100% recycled iron is Ironclad's unique Three Generation Guarantee®. On the Heirloom, this contract can be personalised to feature a name, date, and a short message.

If you choose personalisation, our team will be in touch after purchase to design the base and message together.

Given the labour intensive nature of the process, orders take approximately 6 weeks to deliver.

Each month we produce a limited number of Heirlooms. Orders open on the 1st of the month. There is usually a waitlist, so sign up for notifications to secure your Heirloom today. No deposit is needed.

YOUR STORY, CAST IN IRON

The recipe vault

EVERY IRONCLAD PAN HELPS TO FEED A FAMILY IN NEED

Ironclad cast iron pans bring the primal beauty of elemental cooking to your kitchen, embodying timeless quality and craftsmanship.

I’ve been using Ironclad in my home and at work for a couple of years and I simply love them. Durable, ethical and most importantly they conduct temperature so accurately and instinctively. It’s the only pan you need for the induction or the campfire.

The best cast iron in the business.

Cooking with this top-quality Ironclad Co. cast iron cookware is as close as you can get to consistent and even cooking with great results every time.

Very, very happy with my Ironclad Pan.

Incredible pans. The best I have used. And I can tell you I have used many a pan in my time. They are seriously good.

Our kitchen wouldn't be complete without our Ironclad Pans. We use them day and night without fail.

FAQs

What is the capacity of the Lil Legacy Pan?

The Lil Legacy Pan has a capacity of approximately 1.5L (1.6 quarts), perfect for individual servings or smaller dishes.

Can I use the Lil Legacy Pan on an induction cooktop?

Absolutely! The Lil Legacy Pan is compatible with all heat sources, including induction.

Is the Lil Legacy Pan truly non-stick?

Yes, our hand-finishing process creates a smooth cast iron texture that is still porous enough to absorb oil. This is what gives Ironclad natural non-stick properties. While it won't immediately be as slick as chemically treated pans, after a few uses it will become the most non-stick pan you own.

What happens if my Lil Legacy rusts?

A bit of surface rust is normal, especially if it's been drip-drying. It's easily fixed. A good scrub with soap and steel wool, a wipe with an oiled cloth, or even a run through your oven's cleaning cycle will do the trick. If in doubt, re-season it like new—see our tips page for an easy walk through. If that's too hard, we're always here to help. Just get in touch at hello@ironcladpan.com

Can I use the Lil Legacy Pan in the oven?

Yes, the Lil Legacy Pan is oven-safe, making it perfect for finishing dishes in the oven or baking.

Is the Lil Legacy suitable for outdoor cooking?

Absolutely! The Lil Legacy Pan is campfire tough and can be used on any heat source, including open flames.

What if I'm not happy with my Lil Legacy?

We've got your back for generations. Our Three Generation Guarantee® is the longest product warranty out there. If you, your kids, or even your grandkids aren't happy with the quality of your pan, you can return it for a replacement or refund.

What causes cast iron to warp?

Usually, it's from using an induction burner that's too small for the base of the pan, or cranking up the heat too quickly. This creates a hotspot that makes the iron expand unevenly. Minor warping often fixes itself as the pan cools. If it's bad, though, it might not go back to perfectly flat. In that case, you're covered. Just contact us at hello@ironcladpan.com

How long till my Ironclad arrives?

Most orders ship within 3-5 business days, except for the Heirloom, which is made to order. You'll see live shipping rates at checkout. We ship worldwide and even cover a good chunk of the shipping costs.

What about import duties and taxes?

We want to ensure a smooth delivery for your Ironclad. For international orders, please be aware that your country may impose additional import duties and taxes. You can estimate these costs by contacting your local customs office before placing your order.

What is the Ironclad Three Generation Guarantee®?

It's our promise that your Lil Legacy Pan will last for generations. If it ever needs repair or replacement, we'll take care of it, no matter how many years have passed.
