Description
The “spun'' in this spun iron pan is formed by spinning a disc of iron on a lathe and forming it over a mold. “Prospector” refers to its overall shape, including the two sturdy handles that are riveted to the pan that is reminiscent of a prospector’s gold pan. This gorgeous, matte-black pan has similar properties to cast iron: it heats up evenly and will hence cook and bake evenly as well. Much like cast iron, it is also nearly indestructible and is sure to last a lifetime, with minimal routine care required. You’ll want to pass this down to the next generation of cooks.
However, this spun iron prospector pan has one key advantage over cast-iron ones: it is much lighter at generally half the weight, which you’ll appreciate as you move it from stove-top, to oven, to tabletop. If you’re a fan of spun iron, take a look at our spun iron baking sheet as well as our spun iron loaf pan.
The prospector pan also makes a lovely presentation dish for a quiche, fruit pie, or cobbler. You could also simply use it to make your eggs and hash in — it’s up to you. Pre-seasoned with flax oil to give a natural, no-stick coating. Works on all ranges of ovens, whether gas, electric, convection, or even wood-burning. It was made by a small foundry in Shropshire, UK, which is where the Industrial Revolution started. It is 12” diameter x 1-½” deep. The prospector pan is also available in a long-handled version.
Also available is a matching spun iron lid for our Netherton woks and prospector pan.

Much better use for us
"Much better use for us then the more expensive thicker cast iron pan we purchased. We Sous Vide our steaks and then just need the best way to quickly sear the outside with the most minimal impact to cooking the insides. We first purchased a much more expensive, heavy duty cast iron pan and it would always overcook the entire inside of the steak to medium or past that. This pan is super light weight and allows you to cook all sides of the steak with a pretty good sear while maintaining medium rare. You can leave some steaks on to cook longer if some people prefer different temperatures so this is perfect for us. Also is much more foregiving on oils you can use include EV olive oil."
Love it
"It wasn’t great seasoning, but that’s easily handled with a Google search (or, honestly, a little oil). It heats up quickly and evenly and cooks great! I’ll be back for another spun SOMEthing, that’s for sure."
Outstanding.
"Does a fast and even job in food prep. Good quality. Heirloom product."
