Every cast iron piece is made by hand in a dedicated factory in Skeppshult, a small village in Småland, Southern Sweden—right where it all began in 1906. Everything is done in-house, including pouring, finishing, seasoning, and inspecting. No outsourcing. No mass production. Just real craftsmanship, forged in tradition.
It’s not the easiest name to pronounce (say Shep-sult), but it’s one the company wears with pride. Skeppshult is the name of the small Swedish village where their cast iron has been made since 1906. The founders named the company after their home, and more than a century later, every piece is still hand-cast there.
Yes—naturally. Every pan is pre-seasoned with organic canola oil. With regular use, the surface becomes increasingly nonstick without any synthetic coatings.
Yes. Skeppshult cookware is made from nothing but pure iron and organic canola oil—no synthetic coatings, no chemicals, and nothing artificial. Cast iron can even boost the iron content in your food, a nutrient many of us are low on. It’s one of the few tools in your kitchen that gets better with age and healthier with use.
Because it’s built to last and to perform beautifully. Each piece is made with a 5mm thick base, giving you unmatched heat retention, even cooking, and total stovetop stability. It won’t tip, warp, or wobble—ever. That weight is your assurance it’ll be around for decades.
Medium heat is best. Cast iron retains heat so well that there’s rarely a need to go high. Let your pan preheat gradually for even, beautiful results.

Yes. All Skeppshult cookware works on induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops. The extra-thick base gives excellent contact and stability, especially on induction.
Any Skeppshult cookware with a wooden handle is not considered oven safe.
Induction uses magnetic energy to heat your cookware directly—no open flame, no heating element. It’s fast, efficient, and perfect for Skeppshult’s pure iron construction.
Skeppshult cookware is designed with a slightly concave base, which flattens as it heats. This clever design protects against warping and ensures even contact on all cooktops, including induction.
Not at all. Just rinse with warm water, dry fully, and oil lightly if you like. No soap, no dishwasher. Like leather or wood, it only improves with care and use.
Not necessarily. Most of the time, warm water and a soft brush are all you need. But if you want to use a small drop of mild soap, that’s totally fine. Just don’t soak it, and always dry it fully afterward. Your seasoning will bounce back stronger with use.
Don’t soak your pan. Don’t use harsh detergents or steel wool. And never put it in the dishwasher. Just rinse, dry, and oil—it’s that simple.
No. Every piece comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. With regular cooking, the surface improves naturally over time. If you want to refresh the seasoning, just heat your pan on the stovetop, rub in a light layer of oil, and let it smoke gently for a few minutes. That’s all it takes—no oven needed.

Because performance isn’t just about heat—it’s about control. Walnut handles stay cool to the touch, offering better grip and comfort. They’re sculpted for safety, style, and stovetop mastery.
Skeppshult uses natural European walnut, known for its durability, warmth, and sculptural grain. It stays cool during stovetop use and adds a touch of elegance to your kitchen.
No. Walnut handles are for stovetop use only. They stay cool, offer better grip and safer control, and give the pan a beautifully balanced feel.
Because Skeppshult makes fewer things, but they make them right. Every piece is hand-poured in Sweden, built to last a lifetime, and designed to feel like it belongs in your life, not just your kitchen.
Yes. Skeppshult cookware arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use. Just rinse, dry, and begin.
