How to use

Preheat the wok gradually on your chosen heat source to allow the cast iron to warm evenly. Use a moderate to high heat setting for stir-frying and searing, and lower heat for braising or slow cooking. Add oil once the pan reaches the required temperature and introduce ingredients in batches to avoid overcrowding. For oven finishing, transfer the pan to a preheated oven compatible with cast iron. After use, let the pan cool slightly before washing by hand with warm water and a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents or sudden temperature changes that could stress the enamel.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the pan by drying thoroughly after washing and storing in a dry place. For stubborn residue, soak briefly in warm water and scrub gently. Periodically check the enamel surface and avoid metal utensils that may chip the coating; use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant nylon tools to prolong the finish and performance.
