Why the number "12"? - Lancaster cookware uses traditional American cast iron sizing metrics dating back to the 1800s. The numbers correlate to the size of ports on antique wood stoves as cast iron cookware and wood stoves often went hand in hand. The number 12 is traditionally a top diameter 13 3/8" skillet.
