Advantages

Cast iron construction ensures long-term durability and consistent heating across the cooking surface. The material's heat retention supports high-temperature searing as well as steady low-temperature simmering.

How to use

Before first use, wash the pan in warm water without detergent if it is pre-seasoned; dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of cooking oil, then heat gently to complete seasoning if needed. Preheat the pan over medium heat for a few minutes to ensure even temperature across the surface. Use moderate amounts of oil or fat to prevent sticking and to support the seasoning layer. Avoid rapid temperature changes such as immersing a hot pan in cold water to prevent thermal stress.

Usage recommendations

To maintain the pan's performance and extend its service life, clean by hand with warm water and a brush or sponge; dry immediately and apply a light coat of oil before storage. Re-season periodically if food begins to stick or if the surface appears dull. Use appropriate protective gloves or handles when moving the pan, as cast iron retains heat for a long time.
