How to use

Before first use, rinse the skillet in warm water and dry thoroughly. Lightly oil the cooking surface if desired to maintain the seasoning. Preheat the skillet gradually on the chosen heat source to achieve even temperature across the pan. Use moderate to high heat for searing and lower heat for simmering or delicate foods. After cooking, allow the skillet to cool slightly, then clean with warm water and a brush or non-abrasive scrubber; avoid harsh soaps that can remove seasoning. Dry completely and apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the surface to protect the finish.

Usage recommendations

To preserve performance and seasoning, avoid soaking the skillet for long periods and do not put it in a dishwasher. Re-season as needed by applying a thin layer of oil and heating in an oven to maintain a durable, easy-release surface. Use appropriate handle protection when cooking at high temperatures or moving between stovetop and oven.
