How to Use
This pan requires seasoning before its first use to create a protective, non-stick layer.
1. **Clean:** Wash the new pan with hot water and a soft sponge to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing.
2. **Dry:** Place the pan on the stove over low heat until it is completely dry.
3. **Oil:** Apply a very thin, even layer of a high-smoke-point oil (like grapeseed, canola, or lard) to the entire interior surface.
4. **Heat:** Heat the pan over medium-high heat until the oil begins to smoke lightly. Hold it at this temperature for a few minutes, then turn off the heat and let it cool completely.
5. **Repeat:** For best results, repeat this process 2-3 times to build a solid initial seasoning.
For daily cooking, always preheat the pan for a minute before adding your cooking oil and food.
Care & Safety
Cleaning:** After use, wash the pan with hot water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid using harsh soaps or steel wool, as they can strip the seasoning. For stubborn food particles, you can boil some water in the pan to loosen them.
Drying:** It is crucial to dry your pan immediately and thoroughly after washing. The easiest way is to place it back on the stove over low heat for a minute until all moisture has evaporated.
Storage:** Once dry, wipe a very thin layer of cooking oil on the inside of the pan before storing it in a dry place. This prevents rust and maintains the patina.
