G'day Adam,

I have one of these frypans, they are great!
We dont have an official induction confirmation on these, but I've just grabbed mine from the kitchen kit and a magnet sticks to it like crazy!!
I dont think you'll have any issues using this on an induction cooktop.

G'day Matt,

We've got a blog post on seasoning your camp oven HERE, and also a podcast episode HERE, both of these apply to all camping cast iron of spun steel cookware.  I personally don't season anything in the oven, I only use the stovetop, so you wouldn't need to worry about the wooden handle doing it that way.

G'day Will,

I've just given this a whirl and unfortunately not, the hole in the handle is smaller than the cook stand pole.

These are made with good quality heavy-duty steel, Russell which is the same thickness throughout i.e. not thicker on the base. Excessive heat is what often causes warping or bowing and it is most prevalent in frypans made with thin steel, of which this one is not.

I guess what I am saying is that it's not out of the question that anything can bow. Try and keep heat spread evenly across the base and don't use it in a raging fire and you should be right.

G'day Wayne,

Sorry to hear about the experience you've had with your Hillbilly Pan.
We'd love to investigate this further for you, so jump onto our Warranties Info Page & our team will take it from there!
