How to use

Before first use, heat the pan gradually and season according to cast iron best practice if needed. Preheat the pan over medium heat before adding food to ensure even searing. Use a small amount of oil to prevent sticking; avoid sudden temperature changes such as rinsing a hot pan under cold water. The pan is oven-safe—use it to transfer dishes from stovetop to oven for finishing—but take care with hot handles and use oven mitts.

Usage recommendations

To preserve the pan's surface and extend its service life, clean by hand with warm water and a brush or non-abrasive scrubber, dry thoroughly, and reapply a thin layer of oil after drying. Avoid using strong detergents or dishwasher cycles that can strip seasoning. Gradual heating and minimal oil usage improve cooking results and reduce sticking.
