FAQs
How do I season the pan?
After washing and drying, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, then heat the pan on the stovetop until it smokes. Repeat this several times.
Can I use metal utensils?
While cast iron is durable, it's best to use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the seasoning.
How do I clean the pan?
Wash by hand with warm water and a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using soap frequently, as it can strip the seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly.
What kind of oil should I use for seasoning?
Use cooking oils with a high smoke point, such as flaxseed oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil.
What if food burns onto the pan?
You can remove stuck-on food by gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive scrub, or by simmering water in the pan for a few minutes.
Can I use this pan in the oven?
Yes, cast iron pans are generally oven-safe. However, always check the specific manufacturer's instructions.
