• THE ULTIMATE FOR FLAME GRILLING: Perfect for BBQs, outdoor grills, flame grills, and camp cooking. Our Flaming Skillets were initially developed for Neil Perry and his chefs at the acclaimed Rockpool restaurant in Sydney, Australia, who asked us to develop an indestructible flame-grilling pan. Our original AUS-ION Flaming Skillets are legendary among chefs, BBQ teams, and camp cooks for their combination of iron-searing and flame taste, and their durability on an open flame.

• PERFORATED BASE: The mesh base allows smoke and fire to penetrate for a flame-grilled taste in meats and vegetables.

• ONE PIECE OF A MODULAR SYSTEM: The Flaming Skillet nests perfectly with the 14” BIGGA skillet to catch any drips, and for easy transfer of roasts and thick steaks from flame sear and seal to finish off in the oven. Collect the juices in the BIGGA to create a gravy or jus.

• SOLID 5/32-INCH (4MM) WROUGHT IRON: Thicker than thin carbon steel pans for even heating and resistance to warping; Cooks and seasons like cast iron, only lighter!

• PATENTED DESIGN: Patented one-piece and rivet-free construction for improved hygiene and multi-generation heirloom durability; No food traps around rivets, no wobbly handles! Dual handles for easier lift of heavier loads.

• HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY: Efficient and even heating on/in any heat source – induction to electric; Great on gas stovetops, BBQs, fire pits and any oven except microwaves!

• SEASONED: Our "Quenched" seasoning provides rust protection, and the foundation layer for a natural, nonstick/low-stick, forever-renewable cooking surface. Use our Iron Love seasoning conditioner bars or a recommended oil to build a superior nonstick surface.

• MADE IN THE USA: Proudly made in Chicago; Crafted from 100% clean, heavy-metal-free USA sheet iron; Multi-century warranty.

• Our manufacturing warranty for such defects, and is not valid for improper use, seasoning difficulties, lack of maintenance, abuse, or 'change of heart' or mind.

Our SOLIDTEKNICS US-ION skillets are crafted from solid 100% American wrought iron (low carbon mild steel) using our patented process. Each skillet is made from one solid sheet of malleable iron, which won’t warp in high-temperature environments and can never crack as cast iron can. This one-piece design eliminates seams and rivets, giving these high-performance pans additional strength and durability.

Wrought iron is more conductive than common carbon steel, cast iron and stainless steel cookware, allowing US-ION skillets to heat quickly and food to cook evenly and consistently EVERY time. Even the biggest steaks will not cool down on our 5/32" thick, highly conductive iron pans. They sear just like heavier cast iron, but without the unnecessary weight!

Induction-compatible and tough enough for any oven (except microwaves), SOLIDTEKNICS skillets can be used on any cooktop and over open flames. Venting is built into the handle to dissipate heat and keep the handle grip cool to the touch for regular stovetop use and easy transport into the oven.

Our "Quenched" pans are seasoned with a hard, inert layer of rice bran oil and ready to cook! Follow the seasoning and care instructions/videos for care and maintenance. With proper care, the natural, non-stick seasoning will last as long as the pan itself (ie. multiple centuries) and only gets better with time and cooking!

We’re so confident in the quality of our skillets that we guarantee every pan with a multi-century warranty. Enjoy a lifetime of cooking with your healthy, sustainable, multi-century US-ION pan…then hand it down for many generations to come. Each skillet is engraved with the month and year of manufacture for heirloom collectability.

Please familiarize yourself with our seasoning and care instructions before purchase.

The SOLIDTEKNICS Quenched seasoning system makes it even easier to say YES to light-weight, naturally-coated iron, and NO to toxic synthetics!

A new era in iron cookware

For US-ION™ we took inspiration from French carbon steel pans — for centuries a chef's favorite — and made ours even better by eliminating the rivets and using more conductive iron. We discovered an innovative way to form a pan body and handle as a single solid monobloc, removing all welds, screws, and the dreaded rivets (the bane of every chef's existence). This seamless wrought construction makes our pans easy to clean, and basically indestructible (you can say goodbye to loose jiggly handles). 

Tough enough?

This is nothing like common thin pressed carbon steel pans. At solid 5/32" (4mm) iron, our thicker pans won't warp under high heat like thin carbon steel pans, which means you can safely cook with any heat source, from induction to roaring campfire. Our wrought iron is also more conductive than carbon steel, cast iron and stainless steel, so our pans heat quickly, and foods cook evenly and consistently, every time. 

Not heavy, so not as much thermal mass as cast iron?

The biggest steaks won't cool down our 5/32" thick, highly conductive iron mass: they sear just like heavier cast iron, without the wasted weight! 

I thought wrought iron was extinct in America? 

Old-timers, you thought American-made 'wrought iron' was extinct?! It is...in the nostalgic old puddled and hand-wrought form. Good news: this is real iron, and it is machine wrought (worked into a final seamless pan shape from flat), so it is indeed 'wrought iron'. Just modernized, optimized, revolutionized for a new era in cookware. Time for a new definition!

100% made in USA, from clean American iron. Wrought from a single sheet of clean American iron, and manufactured in Sydney.

Suitable for all heat sources, indoors and out.  From the stovetop, into the oven, and outdoors in the pizza oven or over the campfire.

No synthetic, toxic coatings. You won't find any toxic chemical coatings on our pans. Just clean iron with real natural seasoning, as it's been done for centuries. 

Seasoned for you. Our iron pans come naturally seasoned with non-GMO rice bran oil, so you can get straight to cooking. This is not a synthetic coating, so the seasoning will change and develop with every cook! That's the beauty of seasoned iron - it's forever renewable. 

Multi-century warranty. Say hello to your new family heirloom! This pan will be the centre of your family meals, for generations to come.

 

Our US-ION™(wrought iron) and our nöni™(non-nickel stainless steel) ranges are designed to complement each other. Together they will cover all of your cooking needs and each have their own unique advantages. Familiarise yourself with the two ranges here.
