Seasoning the pan gives it a natural “coating” (patina), which improves with each use. Repeated use establishes the patina to enable healthy frying with little oil. Diamond structure in the bottom of the pan ensures intense flavour and improved non-stick coating. Suitable for all types of hobs including induction, grill and oven. Ideal heat retention. Handle with hanging loop. Easy to clean with warm water and a soft sponge or cloth. NB: The handle also heats up when frying. Please always wear oven gloves when handling the pan. The patina formation will discolour your iron pan. This is normal and also your aim. The original appearance cannot be restored once the pan has been heated this way. ROBUST, DURABLE AND VERSATILE: These are the advantages of iron. You can heat this pan to very high temperatures. It retains heat for a long time. That's what makes the pan so versatile, whether on an induction, ceramic or gas hob, on the grill or even in the oven. HEALTHY ROASTING WITH LESS OIL: The ZWILLING FORGE pan is perfect for searing, roasting and grilling meat and vegetables. And not only indoors on the cooker, but also outdoors on the barbecue. Thanks to the diamond structure in the base of the pan, aromas and flavours are intensified while the non-stick coating is improved at the same time. THE PATINA MAKES IT: It is the key to low-fat, healthy enjoyment! The patina is thin at first, but it gets better with each use, so you need less and less oil and can fry almost fat-free later. Due to the formation of the natural non-stick coating (patina), your iron pan will discolour, which is normal and wanted. BEFORE FIRST USE: To create the patina, you first need to bake your ZWILLING iron pan. To do this, heat the pan on the cooker or or in the oven at 250° with a little oil until all the oil has evaporated. For a more even, solid patina, this process can be repeated 3-4 times.
