They start their journey at the foundry, then head to Stargazer's machine shop, where CNC technology ensures the optimal weight and thickness for every skillet.

Next, they undergo a thorough inspection before the finishing touches. Stargazer's skilled artisans carefully grind and smooth away any remaining imperfections by hand.

Use & Care:
Here are some tips to help you get the best cooking results with your cast iron cookware.
- Start by preheating it for a few minutes. This helps with even heating and keeps things nonstick. We suggest giving it about 3 to 5 minutes on low heat before cranking up the temperature or tossing in your ingredients.
- Use a burner that closely matches the size of the skillet.
- Acidic ingredients like wine and tomato sauce can be a bit tough on your seasoning. But don’t worry if you lose a little. It's easy to touch it up later.
Once you’re done cooking, here’s a few things you should do to make sure your skillet is clean and dry before tucking it away.
- Allow your skillet to cool.
- Place it in the sink under hot running water. Add a small amount of gentle dish soap if you like.
- Scrub away food debris with a soft sponge or dish brush and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads. Use the Stargazer chain mail scrubber for stubborn food bits.
- Dry your skillet immediately and completely. Place your skillet back on low heat for a few minutes to be sure its dry.
It's a great idea to give your cookware some love by seasoning it regularly after you've cooked and cleaned. It helps keep it nonstick and rust free.
- Preheat your skillet on the stove over low heat for 5-10 minutes.
- Wipe a thin coat of high smoke point cooking oil onto the cooking surface and heat for another 5-10 minutes, or until the oil looks dry.
