ORION cast iron frying pan 22 cm is a sturdy cookware piece engineered for consistent heat retention and even distribution across the cooking surface. The 22 cm diameter makes it suitable for single-portion frying, searing and preparing small one-pan meals. Compatible with gas, electric and ceramic hobs, this pan is oven-safe and designed for regular home cooking. With proper seasoning over time the pan develops improved natural non-stick properties and long-lasting durability.
Advantages
The cast iron construction ensures excellent heat retention and even heating, reducing hot spots and enabling steady cooking temperatures. Its durable material resists deformation and provides reliable performance for searing, frying and slow cooking. Over time the skillet accepts seasoning that enhances food release and reduces the need for synthetic coatings. Suitable for use on multiple heat sources and in the oven, the pan supports versatile cooking techniques and can last for many years with proper care.

How to use
Before first use, wash the pan in warm water without detergent, dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the surface, then heat to establish initial seasoning. For everyday cooking, preheat the pan gradually to avoid thermal shock, add a small amount of cooking fat and place food once the surface is hot. Use medium to medium-high heat for searing and lower heat for slow cooking. After use, clean with hot water and a brush or non-abrasive scrubber; avoid prolonged soaking and harsh detergents to preserve seasoning. Reapply oil after drying if needed to maintain the protective layer.
Usage recommendations
To maximise the pan's natural non-stick properties, maintain regular seasoning by lightly oiling and heating the surface after cleaning. Avoid acidic foods for extended periods during early seasoning stages and store the pan dry to prevent rust.
