Advantages

How to use

Before first use, rinse and dry the cast-iron kazan; follow the manufacturer’s seasoning instructions if provided to create a protective patina. Use on suitable heat sources such as a campfire, open flame, gas burner or in an oven. When cooking, preheat gradually to avoid thermal shock, add oil or fat for frying or sautéing, and maintain moderate temperatures for long simmering. After use, allow the pot to cool slightly, clean with hot water and a brush or non-abrasive scrubber, dry thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust.

Usage recommendations

For best results, develop and maintain the seasoning by regularly cooking fatty foods and applying a thin layer of cooking oil after cleaning. Avoid prolonged soaking in water and use gradual heating and cooling to extend the life of the cast iron.
