Cast iron frying pan BANQUET Patelnia Banquet Żeliwna is a heavy-duty skillet designed for even heat distribution and long-lasting performance. Made of solid cast iron, this frying pan retains heat effectively for frying, searing and slow cooking. It is suitable for use on gas, electric and ceramic stovetops as well as in the oven, offering versatility for everyday cooking needs. With proper seasoning and care, the pan delivers reliable results and extended service life.
Advantages
The cast iron construction provides uniform heating across the cooking surface and strong heat retention, which helps achieve consistent browning and reduced temperature fluctuations. The robust material withstands high temperatures and mechanical wear, making the pan suitable for frequent use. When seasoned correctly, the surface develops a natural non-stick layer that improves with time. Its compatibility with stovetops and oven expands the range of recipes you can prepare, from quick sautés to slow braises.
Suitable for
- Pan-frying meats and vegetables

How to use
Before first use, wash the pan in warm water without detergent if pre-seasoned, dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to reinforce the seasoning. Preheat the pan gradually to working temperature to ensure even heat distribution. Use medium to medium-high heat for most frying and searing tasks; reduce heat for longer simmering or braising. After cooking, let the pan cool slightly, rinse with warm water and remove food residues with a brush or non-abrasive scrubber. Dry the pan immediately and apply a light coat of cooking oil to protect the surface.
Usage recommendations
To maintain performance, avoid soaking the pan or using aggressive detergents; re-season periodically and store in a dry place. Use wooden, silicone or nylon utensils to protect the seasoned surface and preheat gradually to minimize thermal shock.
