Category: Seasoned Cast Iron
Artist Lourdes Villagómez loves the colorful sugar skulls exchanged across Mexico during Day of the Dead celebrations and wanted to create a piece of cast iron art honoring the tradition. This collectible 10.25 inch Sugar Skull cast iron skillet is a reminder to celebrate the richness of life and to hold onto stories from the past.
The skillet heats evenly and the sugar skull design is a real conversation starter when I leave it hanging on the wall between uses. It's heavier than my old pan, but that heft makes searing steaks feel more solid, and the seasoning was already slick from day one.
The skull etching is so crisp and detailed, it almost feels like a museum piece you can cook with. It's heavy and heats beautifully, and the seasoning means my first fried egg slid right off. I'm honestly tempted to use it as a centerpiece on the table when I'm not using it for dinner.
The skillet design honors the Day of the Dead so beautifully—it’s a genuine conversation starter on my stovetop. The seasoning is already slick and non-stick, and I’ve used it for cornbread twice with zero sticking. This is art you can actually cook with.
