The No. 8 Skillet is the original Lancaster piece—the one that started it all—and remains our flagship for good reason. Thoughtfully designed to be the most versatile of skillet sizes, it’s built to do everything in the kitchen. From frying a single egg to roasting a full entrée or baking a pie, the No. 8 rises to every occasion. Its lightweight, sleek design feels natural in hand, moving seamlessly from stovetop to oven to table. Whether you’re cooking for one or serving a house full of family and friends, this is the pan you’ll reach for again and again. The Lancaster No. 8 cast iron skillet is made in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster No. 8 features a smooth, pre-seasoned cooking surface, a traditional stout handle, large pour spouts, a helper handle, and a lightweight yet strong construction that feels natural in any chef’s hands. This is a combination of features that can’t be found on other modern cast iron pans. With the No. 8 Lancaster pan in your home, you will be taking part in a generational American tradition.

Why the number "8"? - Our cookware uses traditional American cast iron sizing metrics dating back to the 1800s. The numbers correlate to the size of eyes on antique wood stoves as cast iron cookware and wood stoves often went hand in hand. The number 8 is traditionally a top diameter 10.5" skillet.

The No. 8, Our 10.5" Skillet

Smooth surface, iconic pour spouts, traditional handle, light weight and made in America

The No. 8, Our 10.5

  • Light Weight

    The Lancaster skillet is ±4.5 pounds. Iron’s natural high heat retention makes it ideal to minimize wall thickness allowing the pan to be more responsive while still retaining heat. This means you get the great benefits of cast iron while cutting down on the arm-numbing heft of traditional cast iron. You will immediately notice the lighter weight; the skillet will feel effortless in your hand. We will honestly be surprised if your first words aren’t, “Wow, that’s light!”

  • Smooth Finish

    Just like the prized Griswold skillets of old, the Lancaster skillet is bringing that smooth cooking surface back to your kitchen. Our smooth cast iron pans are machined to achieve a polished, non-stick surface, pre-seasoned by hand with multiple layers of grape seed oil and ready for daily use in your kitchen. Unlike other pans, this finish ensures that food will not stick from day one.

  • American Made in PA

    Continuing the tradition of Pennsylvania-made cast iron, all Lancaster skillets are designed, manufactured and machined in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding counties.
