The Netherton Foundry Prospector Casserole is one impressive pan.  

Made from spun iron using age old techniques, it is exceptionally versatile and superb for frying, grilling and oven to table serving. Crafted for usability and durability, the Prospector Casserole is easy to use and features a non-stick surface that will naturally become more non-stick over time. Suitable for use on all cooking surfaces and lighter than cast iron, the Prospector Casserole is a pan that you will return to time and time again.

We currently stock two sizes: 8” and 10” pans.
The 8”pan is perfect for one person servings and the 10” pan, the most popular size, is ideal for two people.

Care: Before the first use, wash the pan with hot water. Do not use soap or detergent.
