FAQs

How do I clean the cast iron grill pan?

Wash with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Avoid soap, as it can strip the seasoning.

How do I prevent rust?

Dry the pan immediately after washing and apply a thin layer of oil. Store in a dry place.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?

Yes, but use with caution. Metal utensils can scratch the seasoning. Consider using silicone or wooden utensils to protect the surface.

What kind of oil should I use for seasoning?

Use cooking oils with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or flaxseed oil.

Can I use this pan on an induction cooktop?

Yes, this pan is compatible with induction cooktops.

How often should I season the pan?

Season the pan whenever the surface looks dull or food starts sticking. Regular seasoning, about once a month, is usually sufficient.

What if food burns onto the pan?

Let the pan cool, then scrub the burnt food with a non-abrasive brush or steel wool. Re-season the pan afterward.

Troubleshooting

Food sticks to the pan.

Ensure the pan is properly seasoned. Re-season if necessary. Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding food.

Rust appears on the pan.

Remove rust with steel wool or a scrub brush. Re-season the pan after removing rust.

Uneven heating.

Ensure the pan is in direct contact with the heat source. For stovetops, use a burner that matches the pan's size.
