How to use

Before first use, season the pan if it is not pre-seasoned by applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating gradually to build a protective patina. Heat the pan gradually on the heat source to avoid thermal shock, then preheat to the desired temperature for searing or frying. Use the telescopic handle by extending it fully for cooking and collapsing it for storage or transport. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly, clean with warm water and a brush or non-abrasive pad, dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to protect the surface.

Usage recommendations

Use medium to high heat for searing and moderate heat for frying to maintain the seasoning layer. Avoid sudden temperature changes such as rinsing a hot pan with cold water. Regular re-seasoning and gentle cleaning will extend the life of the cast iron and improve non-stick performance over time.
