Carolina cast Iron Skillet Description Hand-Polished Cast Iron Skillet Each skillet is meticulously polished by hand, restoring the surface to a smooth, functional finish while preserving the unique character of the piece. Due to the nature of vintage and heavily used cast iron, some skillets may still show signs of their past life-including minor scratches, pitting, or surface imperfections. These marks are a testament to the skillet’s age and story. In some cases, the original damage was so severe that no amount of polishing could fully remove it-but rest assured, every piece is restored to be fully usable and ready for seasoning. No two skillets are the same, and each one is a one-of-a-kind blend of craftsmanship and history.
