Cast Iron Cookware Size and Weight Chart: Skillets, Woks, Griddles and Dutch Ovens
This chart lists the sizes and approximate weights of popular cast iron cookware shapes in our 2026 catalogue: woks, skillets, griddles, grill pans, pots and enamelled Dutch ovens. Use it to compare models, plan retail sizes and estimate freight. As a rule of thumb, weight rises fast with diameter: our deep wok goes from about 1.5 kg at 20 cm to 4.9 kg at 38 cm, more than three times as heavy.
How to read the chart. Sizes are diameter × depth in centimetres unless stated. Weights are approximate per piece and are batch averages from our catalogue; the final specification is confirmed on the approved sample. Hand measurements can vary by about 0–0.5 cm.

What the numbers mean for buyers
- Freight. Cast iron is dense, so sea freight and carton strength matter more than for most kitchenware. A 40 cm griddle at about 3.8 kg or a 28 cm Dutch oven at about 6.5 kg changes the carton count and the landed cost. Ask for carton data with every quotation.
- Retail sizes. For skillets, 20, 25 and 29–30 cm cover most home cooks. For griddles and woks, larger sizes suit restaurants and outdoor cooking.
- Handling. Heavy pieces need two handles. For anything above about 4 kg, a helper handle or twin loop handles make the pan easier to lift.
- Inches or centimetres. State clearly whether a size is the outer rim or the inner cooking surface, and use both units on packaging for markets that think in inches.
- Heat source. Large griddles and three-legged pots are often gas or open-fire only. See our guide to seasoned and enamelled cast iron for heat-source details.

FAQ
How heavy is a cast iron skillet?
In our catalogue, a 20 cm wooden-handle frying pan weighs about 0.9 kg, a 25 cm (10-inch) skillet with helper handle about 2.2 kg, and a 29 cm (12-inch) skillet about 3.2 kg. Double-handle pans run from about 2.2 kg at 25 cm to 4.7 kg at 35 cm.
How much does an enamelled cast iron Dutch oven weigh?
Our enamelled Dutch ovens weigh about 3.2 kg at 20 cm (2.2 L), 4.5 kg at 24 cm (3.7 L) and 6.5 kg at 28 cm (6.5 L).
What do 10-inch and 12-inch mean in centimetres?
A 10-inch skillet is about 25 cm across and a 12-inch skillet about 29–30 cm. Always check whether a size refers to the outer rim or the inner cooking surface.
Why does my sample weigh a little more or less than the catalogue?
Each piece is cast in its own sand mould and then ground and finished, so weights vary slightly. Catalogue weights are batch averages; the final specification is confirmed on the approved sample.
Is the weight per piece or per carton?
The weights in this chart are approximate weights per piece from our catalogue. Carton weights and carton sizes are confirmed with the quotation.
