How to use

Before first use, wipe the pan with a dry cloth to remove any dust from packaging. Preheat the pan gradually on your chosen heat source; avoid sudden high heat to reduce thermal shock. Add a small amount of cooking fat or oil when frying or searing to support the seasoning layer and prevent sticking. After cooking, let the pan cool slightly, then clean with warm water and a soft brush or sponge; avoid harsh detergents and dishwashers. Dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to the surface to protect the seasoning between uses.

Usage recommendations

Regular use and proper maintenance will improve the pan’s seasoning and non-stick properties. For stubborn residues, soak briefly in hot water and gently remove with a non-abrasive tool. Store in a dry place and reapply a light coat of cooking oil after drying to prevent rust. When cooking acidic foods for long periods, monitor the seasoning layer and restore it as needed with light oiling and short heat treatment.
