When it may not be suitable

This pan may not be ideal for individuals who prefer lightweight cookware, as the density of cast iron makes it significantly heavier than aluminum or stainless steel alternatives. It is also not suitable for those who require dishwasher-safe convenience, as cast iron requires manual cleaning and regular seasoning to prevent rust.

How to use

Before the first use, it is recommended to wash the pan with warm water and dry it thoroughly. To maintain the integrity of the surface, preheat the pan gradually on a low to medium setting before adding oil or food. After cooking, allow the pan to cool down naturally before cleaning. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the seasoning. Always dry the pan completely after washing and apply a light coating of oil to protect the surface from moisture.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your stovetop can support the weight of a heavy cast iron pan.
• Verify that the 27 cm size meets your cooking requirements for your household.
• Be prepared to follow specific maintenance routines, such as hand washing and seasoning.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the cooking surface and ensure the pan is completely dry before storing it in a cool, moisture-free environment.
