Barebones developed their cast iron products using a proprietary blend of cast iron and steel. By adding an increased portion of steel, each piece is better suited to handle rapid temperature change without the cracking or breaking that can occur in more iron-dense products. This formulation also allows their skillets to be 15% lighter than similar cast iron products, offering smoother handling and a more agile cooking experience. With sustainability in mind, their Polished Cast Iron Skillet is free of resin-based sealants and seasoned with natural, organic sunflower oil.

If you have a cast iron dutch oven or skillet that has been passed down from your grandparents (or great-grandparents!), it likely has a very smooth cooking surface. Contrary to popular belief, cast iron pans came polished as standard practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As cast iron became less expensive and mass-produced, an unpolished, rough interior became commonplace. Dutch ovens and skillets are often purchased this way today.

Vintage meets contemporary in this polished cast iron collection. With a nod towards Japanese cookware and design, these pans feature a square, flat top, and rounded bottom. Copper accents and a flat, square handle give a premium look and feel.

Their unique blend of cast iron and steel give way to a lightweight, heat-tempered skillet. In this deluxe version, they included a beautiful, polished dutch oven-style lid that acts as a second cooking surface on hot coals or fire. Newly designed extended handle makes quick work of easily and safely handling any dish over an open fire. Added hole for hanging and dual pour spouts offer real world use from the kitchen to camp and everywhere in between. A top-quality, elevated cast iron skillet.
