iron pan

Heavy stovetop vessel

An iron pan is a cooking pan made from cast iron or wrought iron, valued for heat retention and even cooking.

These pans develop a nonstick surface through seasoning—building up layers of polymerized oil.

My grandmother's iron pan has been in the family for generations.

Also called a cast-iron skillet.
