Designed to do it all, this skillet braises, fries, bakes and sautes. The cast iron distributes and holds heat evenly on the stovetop or in the oven—no seasoning required—while the black enamel finish resists scratches and stains. Straight, medium-height sides ably contain splatters, the stainless steel lid seals in heat and moisture, and the extra-wide handles provide a comfortable grip (even with oven mitts).
