KATiE Cast Iron Skillet – The Ultimate Pan

KATiE Cast Iron Skillet

The cast-iron skillet is the cornerstone of any serious kitchen. With it, you can sear, bake, or fry with unbeatable results. No other type of pan even comes close. But out of convenience, cast-iron is often overlooked in favor of coated non-stick pans.

We set out to change that — introducing our KATiE Skillet.

The Ultimate Pan

KATiE Skillet combines non-stick convenience with the performance, versatility, and durability of cast-iron, to create the ultimate pan.

With a beautiful minimal aesthetic and polished smooth cooking surface, our skillet is unlike any cast-iron you’ve ever seen.

It can handle any challenge you throw at it and will take your cooking to the next level. It’s the only pan you will ever need.

A Well Polished, Seasoned Performer

The cast-iron skillet is a durable and versatile workhorse, but the typically rough cooking surface means it’s not always a smooth operator, and food will occasionally stick. Through precision machining, we completely transform the cooking surface into one that’s perfectly smooth, making it naturally non-stick.

The key to high performing cast-iron is a quality seasoning. With KATiE Skillet, we’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to. After polishing, we apply multiple coatings of grape seed oil and extensive heat treatment so that it will outperform any other skillet, right out of the box.

Naturally Non-Stick

The extra hours of polishing and seasoning result in an incredibly smooth, non-stick finish - so smooth that you can fry an egg on it, without it sticking to the pan.

KATiE Skillet rivals even the most high end coated non-stick pans - without any of the synthetic chemicals, so you can cook at high heat without any worries.

Most Versatile Pan

KATiE Skillet designed to be the most versatile pan you have ever used. It gives the best results, whether you’re cooking on gas, oven, electric or induction cooktops -- you can even use it on the campfire!

Unlike other types of pans, cast-iron cooks food evenly -- not just on the surface. Cast-iron has far superior heat retention and volumetric heat capacity, emitting heat beyond the surface of the pan. This results in unbeatable sears, juicy roasts, and perfectly golden bakes that no other pan can offer.

KATiE Skillet does the job of a roasting pan, a stainless steel skillet, and a non-stick all in one.

Made to Last

Our skillets are made with care, attention to detail and to the highest quality. It is an investment that will last many generations, and better yet, it will only improve with age. Every use adds to the layers of seasoning, so your skillet will become even more non-stick the longer you use it.

A Recipe for Success

Our skillet alone will dramatically improve how you cook. But we didn't stop there... We have created a resource of our favorite cast-iron dishes so that you'll be able to find awesome new recipes to cook for breakfast, lunch or dinner. From simple one-pan meals to fancy dishes that will impress your friends, there’s a recipe for every occasion.

KATiE Prepared for Every Situation

We’ve also designed an innovative set of accessories to complement your cast iron Skillet.

Made from high-grade leather, the Handle Cover protects you when the pan gets hot. The cover is perfectly contoured to fit your Skillet handle while still allowing you to easily slide the cover on and off.

The Table Trivet protects your dining table or kitchen surface so you can take your meal directly from the oven to the table. It’s perfect for entertaining. Made from premium silicone and with a unique ventilated design, the trivet is also easy to clean.

You can add either of these accessories to your order at checkout after you've selected your pan or bundle. Both of these accessories will later retail for $25 each.
