The Samuel Groves 24cm double handled skillet is a traditionally made cast iron pan, manufactured in Birmingham. It is a straightforward, robust piece of cookware built to handle the day-to-day demands of a professional kitchen without fuss.

Cast iron performs well in commercial settings where consistent, even heat is important. The material heats gradually and holds that heat effectively, which is particularly useful for searing, griddling, or finishing dishes in the oven. It does not respond to sudden temperature changes the way thinner pans do, which suits stations where steady cooking temperatures matter more than rapid adjustment. The twin-handled design makes it practical to move safely between the hob and oven, or between cooking stations, especially when the pan is loaded.

A few practical points worth noting for kitchen use:

  • Compatible with all hob types, including induction
  • Oven safe, making it suitable for hob-to-oven cooking methods
  • Arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use without preparation
  • Twin handles provide a stable, secure grip when moving a full pan
  • Cast iron builds a natural non-stick surface with correct seasoning and care

Cast iron does require some maintenance discipline — it should not be left wet or put through a dishwasher, and re-seasoning periodically will extend its working life. It is also a heavier piece of cookware, which is worth considering for kitchens where staff handle pans repeatedly during a long service.

This skillet suits smaller operations, pop-ups, or kitchens where cast iron cookware is used selectively for specific dishes. If cast iron forms a central part of your service output and you need multiple pieces or larger formats, it is worth discussing your full requirements with us before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Is cast iron cookware practical for busy commercial kitchen service?

Cast iron works well where consistent heat retention matters, such as searing proteins or finishing dishes in the oven. It is less suited to stations that require rapid heat adjustment or where pans are moved constantly at high volume, given the weight involved. Many kitchens use cast iron selectively alongside lighter cookware rather than as their primary pan.

How should cast iron skillets be maintained in a professional kitchen environment?

Cast iron should be dried thoroughly after washing and should not go through a dishwasher, as prolonged moisture exposure will cause rust. Periodic re-seasoning with a light coat of oil helps maintain the cooking surface and extends the life of the pan. With correct care, cast iron cookware is exceptionally long-lasting.

Is a 24cm skillet the right size for professional use, or are larger formats available?

The 24cm format suits individual portion cooking and smaller dishes, making it a practical choice for plated service or compact menus. If your operation requires larger cooking surfaces or higher throughput from cast iron cookware, larger skillet formats may be more appropriate — it is worth speaking with us about what best fits your service style.
