Care Instructions
- Preheat your cast iron to ensure even heating and promote non-stick cooking. We recommend 3-5 minutes on low heat before turning up the temperature or adding any food.
- Use a burner that closely matches the size of the skillet.
- Acidic ingredients like wine and tomato sauce can be rough on the seasoning. If you do lose some seasoning, no problem, you can easily touch it up later.
Clean:
After you've finished cooking, follow these steps to ensure you've got a clean and dry skillet before putting it away.
1. Allow your skillet to cool.
2. Place it in the sink under hot running water. Add a small amount of gentle dish soap if you like.
3. Scrub away food debris with a soft sponge or dish brush and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.
4. Dry your skillet immediately and completely.
5. Place your skillet back on low heat for a few minutes to be sure its dry.

What Makes Stargazer Cast Iron Special To Us
Stargazer Cast Iron was founded in 2015 by designer Peter Huntley, who became frustrated with declining quality in modern cookware and set out to reimagine cast iron with better design and real American manufacturing. Starting with 21 prototypes and early runs from his garage, he perfected a smooth, micro-textured cooking surface and thoughtful features like a stay-cool handle and drip-free rim. Today, every piece is designed, finished, and shipped from Allentown, Pennsylvania, honoring American casting traditions while innovating for modern kitchens. We love Stargazer because it stands for true American craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and cookware built for generations.
Stargazer Cast Iron FAQs
What products does Stargazer Cast Iron offer?
Stargazer makes American-made cast iron skillets and braisers in key sizes (e.g., 10.5″, 12″, 13.5″), plus accessories like lids—each with a smooth, precision-finished cooking surface.
Where are Stargazer products made?
All Stargazer cookware is cast, finished, seasoned, and shipped in the United States, with final hand finishing and inspection done at their Pennsylvania facility.
What makes Stargazer cast iron different from traditional cookware?
Unlike rough or “heritage textured” cast iron, Stargazer skillets are CNC machined and hand-finished to achieve a smooth, micro-textured surface that holds seasoning without sticking and is easier to clean.
Are Stargazer skillets ready to use right out of the box?
Yes — seasoned versions arrive with two coats of natural oil seasoning (canola, grapeseed, sunflower), ready to cook immediately. Bare options are also available for custom seasoning.
Can Stargazer cast iron be used on all heat sources?
Yes — cast iron cookware is safe for gas, electric, induction, oven, grill, or open fire use—perfect for everything from searing and frying to baking.
Are these pieces good for gifting or everyday cooking?
Absolutely. With American-made quality, thoughtful design, and durable performance, Stargazer cast iron makes a lasting gift and a workhorse in every kitchen.
Received it washed it,,seasoned in the oven twice,,fried some bacon with a shot of PamZero sticking gonna use the Pam until a good patina is establishedI have the 12 as well,These are some really nice skillets
Heavy duty- using it on an induction burner . Heats evenly and super easy to clean
This is a wordy review, but since you are thinking of paying a lot for a pan I thought this would be helpful.First, why is the expense justified? The best pans ever are 80-120 years old. They were cast in fine sand molds which resulted in a smooth cooking surface. Unfortunately the process resulted in the workers dying of silicosis. So, thankfully that process is not coming back, ever. These pans are made in the US in a labor intensive process that doesn't kill people but creates a similar smooth surface pan.Some people do OK with the pebbly surfaced pans, but I have never had luck with them, so I gave this a try.I have several vintage pans (Wagner, vintage Lodge) along with some modern pans. The Wagners are great but hard to come by, and a good one will cost you just as much as this new pan. Needed a new pan as the vintage ones had the audacity to warp over their hundred year lifespan.So:Unpacking. The pan was in perfect condition. Perfectly flat with no wobble. No casting imperfections. The seasoning was in perfect condition. Color a bit darker than what I saw online, more of a saddle brown.SeasoningAs I said, perfect condition. Fried an egg right out of the box as a test. Did not stick and easily removed with a spatula. Did not slide like a hockey puck, but wasn't expecting that with a new pan. Immediately did three more rounds of seasoning with avocado oil which darkened the pan considerably (which I expected, it's iron after all)Weight.A bit heavier than my vintage pans by about a pound. Takes a bit longer to heat up (5 vs 4 minutes).Handle.Unusual handle. Obviously designed to disperse heat. Less comfortable than a standard handle when cold. However, it also won't sear the flesh off of your hand. I find it perfectly comfortable palm up and less comfortable palm down. Able to pick up a hot pan with just a dish rag--no special silicone cover needed.RustObviously none. Have never had an iron pan rust, but I take care of it. 100% certain that if put in the dishwasher it will rust faster than a '72 Datsun. So don't do that.SummaryOn par with the best of the vintage pans without the warping or other age related issues. Much better than cheaper pebbly pans. Price not out of line given the manufacturing process and what a vintage pan would set you back.
Really good cast iron. Heats quickly and evenly. Worth the money.
Great product I use it all the time. Love my cast irons
