The Pan's Natural Non-Stick Properties
The steel pan is made from raw iron and its surface is treated with beeswax during manufacturing to prevent rust. The pan has no chemical treatment. It must be kept dry and oiled before storage. Thanks to its natural properties, the pan has better non-stick capabilities, but it is not a non-stick pan. The non-stick quality is created by gradually seasoning the pan. With each use, these non-stick properties improve, so you can roast, fry, or grill without worry. Thanks to its 100% natural material, the pan is very durable and prevents food from burning.
What to Know Before First Use
- Before using the pan for the first time, you need to prepare it properly. First, unpack the pan and wash it thoroughly with very hot water. Don't forget to remove the wax layer from the outside. After washing, dry the pan carefully.
- It is important that the pan never goes into the dishwasher and that you do not use any cleaning agents on it. To season it, place the pan on the hob set to the highest temperature. If you have an induction hob, use a lower power setting. Never use the booster function and do not leave the empty pan on a switched-on induction hob.
- Pour a thin layer of oil (about 1–2mm) into the pan and heat it. While heating, move the pan so that the oil also coats its sides. Wait until the oil starts to smoke and the pan begins to darken in places. This is a sign that the seasoning process is complete.
- Then, let the pan cool down and wipe it with a paper towel. This procedure creates a protective film on the pan's surface, which prevents rust. This process is key to properly preparing the pan before its first use and will ensure its long life.
Warning Before First Use
Before first use, carefully read the instructions on how to season the iron pan and how to care for it. Claims caused by improper use will not be considered!
The pans are made of raw iron, which, due to being handmade, may have aesthetic imperfections on the surface. However, these do not affect the functionality of the pan. On the contrary, thanks to its natural properties, the pan has better non-stick capabilities. It is not a non-stick pan.
5 Care Points to Maintain the Warranty
1. Unpack the pan from its original packaging and wash it with a sponge under hot running water. Remove the beeswax from the entire pan to avoid dirtying your hob, then dry the pan.
2. Turn the hob on to a medium heat and place the pan on it. Pour approx. 1–2mm of oil into the pan and let it heat until the oil starts to smoke = seasoning is complete (while seasoning, rotate the pan so the oil also coats the inner sides; the pan will start to darken in places).
3. Let the pan cool and wipe out the remaining oil with a paper towel or cloth. Do not wash it, so that the protective film remains and rust is prevented. The pan is ready for use or storage. When using the pan, do not use the maximum power, as the base could warp.
4. Store in a dry place. Remember to always keep the entire surface of the pan oiled (the pan has no chemical treatment and could start to rust).
5. Use cleaning agents only exceptionally; usually, hot water and a sponge are enough for washing. NEVER put the pan in the dishwasher!!! After each wash, the pan must be dried and oiled immediately.
The gradual darkening of the pan is natural and ensures better non-stick properties. Any rust that forms can be removed with the coarse side of a sponge and then oiled; it is not a reason to return the pan.
