How to use

Preheat the cast iron dish gently before adding food to improve heat distribution and reduce sticking. Place the prepared hot or warm dish into the cast-iron tray and transfer it onto a wooden board for serving; ensure the board is sized to accommodate the pan safely. Use appropriate heat-resistant gloves or cloths when handling the dish. After use, allow the pan to cool before cleaning and follow cast-iron care routines such as gentle scrubbing and light oiling to maintain the surface.

Usage recommendations

For best results, preheat the pan over low-to-moderate heat, avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal stress, and maintain a thin seasoning layer to protect the surface from corrosion and sticking. When serving, use a wooden or heatproof board of sufficient size and avoid exposing the board to direct flame.
