Cast iron frying pan Vilde 20 cm with silicone handle cover model 199034

The Vilde 20 cm cast iron frying pan with silicone handle cover (model 199034) is a heavy-duty skillet designed for frying, searing and general stovetop cooking. Constructed from solid cast iron, the pan provides even heat distribution and strong heat retention for consistent browning and searing results. The included silicone handle cover offers a safer, more comfortable grip and reduces the risk of burns when handling the pan during or after cooking.

Advantages

Cast iron construction delivers uniform heating across the cooking surface and retains heat well for steady temperatures during searing and frying. The non-coated iron surface is durable and, when properly seasoned, develops natural non-stick properties. The silicone handle cover insulates against heat and improves grip, making it easier to move the pan between stove and oven or place it on the table. The compact 20 cm diameter balances capacity and control for everyday tasks while fitting most stovetop burners.

Suitable for

• Browning meats and searing steaks
• Sautéing vegetables and onions
• Pan-frying fish and poultry
• Preparing single-portion dishes and sauces
• Use on gas, electric and ceramic stovetops (verify heat source compatibility)

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron cooking body with silicone handle cover
• Cooking surface diameter: 20 cm

How to use

Before first use, wash the pan in warm water without detergent and dry thoroughly. Season the pan according to standard cast iron care procedures by applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating until polymerized. Preheat the pan gradually on the chosen heat source before adding food to ensure even cooking. Use oven mitts or the silicone handle cover when moving the pan; the handle may still become hot under high temperatures. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly, rinse with warm water, gently scrub with a brush if needed, dry completely and apply a light oil layer to maintain seasoning.

Usage recommendations

To extend service life and preserve cooking performance, avoid prolonged exposure to acidic foods, do not use aggressive dishwashing detergents, and store the pan in a dry place. Replace the silicone handle cover if it shows signs of wear or deformation to maintain safe handling.
