How to use

Preheat the pan gradually on the chosen heat source to allow the cast iron to warm evenly. Use moderate to high heat for searing and frying; reduce heat as needed to prevent sticking or burning. For oven finishing, place the pan in a preheated oven on a suitable rack and use oven-safe temperatures according to the recipe. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly before handling and use protective gloves or pot holders when moving a hot cast iron pan.

Usage recommendations

For best results, maintain the cooking surface by seasoning regularly and avoid soaking the pan in water. Clean with hot water and a gentle brush; dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to protect the surface. When heating, avoid rapid temperature shocks to prevent thermal stress. Use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant utensils to preserve the seasoned surface.
