FAQ

Both our Legacy and Heirloom skillets are 28cm beauties and are handcrafted to last multiple lifetimes. The key difference is in the finish.

Legacy: Think classic cast iron charm. Two surfaces have had our Antique Finish™—the base and the cooking surface. So it's smooth enough to glide on induction, yet with just enough texture to grip your seasoning. A workhorse for everyday cooking.

Heirloom: This is where the magic happens. Our meticulous Antique Finish™ gives it a ceramic-smooth touch and non-stick performance you wouldn't believe. Each one takes hours of hand-polishing, resulting in a pan so beautiful it's practically a work of art.

Absolutely! An average non-stick pan should be replaced annually and costs ~$50 a pop. An Ironclad? From $199 and guaranteed for a whopping 100 years. It's not just good for your tastebuds, it's good for your wallet too.

Think of your cookware like an ingredient—you want the best quality for your food. There are four types of cast iron, but only grey cast iron is ideal for cookware. At Ironclad, we test every pour for purity and we use only food-safe grey cast iron. Unlike some brands that opt for cheaper, lower-grade iron. Always check with your cookware maker about their materials—they owe you that transparency.

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

Absolutely! Our cast iron loves any heat source: induction, gas, electric, BBQ, even a campfire. Just remember, low and slow is the way to go, especially at first. Too much heat too fast can warp the iron. We recommend matching the induction hob size to fit the pan and putting it on low for a minute or two before cranking.

Usually, it's from using a 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

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.
