Cast Iron Frying Pan Atusa 26 cm, enameled, gray

The Atusa 26 cm enameled cast iron frying pan is a durable cookware piece designed for steady heat retention and uniform cooking. The enamel coating creates a non-reactive surface suitable for frying, roasting and simmering a wide range of ingredients. With a 26 cm diameter, this pan is sized for everyday meal preparation and can be used on gas, electric and ceramic hobs as well as for oven finishing.

Advantages

The enameled surface prevents direct contact between food and raw cast iron, reducing the need for seasoning and simplifying cleaning. Cast iron construction provides excellent heat distribution and long-term durability, while the enamel finish resists acidic foods and prevents metallic taste transfer. The pan’s weight and thickness contribute to steady temperature control for even browning and simmering.

How to use

Preheat the pan gradually on the chosen heat source to allow the cast iron to warm evenly. Use moderate heat for most frying and searing tasks; higher heat may be used briefly for initial searing but avoid sudden extreme temperature changes to protect the enamel. Cook with a small amount of oil or fat to prevent sticking. When transferring to the oven, ensure handles and surrounding materials are oven-safe.

Usage recommendations

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads that can damage the enamel. Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent moisture build-up. Avoid sudden thermal shock such as moving the hot pan into cold water. Use wooden, silicone or plastic utensils to preserve the enamel surface. Store carefully to prevent chipping of the enamel.
