FAQs
Can I use this pan on induction hobs?
Yes, as long as the base diameter makes proper contact with the induction zone.
How often should I season the pan?
Season whenever the surface starts to look dull or if food begins to stick more frequently.
Can I use metal utensils in this pan?
Yes, metal utensils are fine to use, provided you do not scrape the surface too aggressively, which might affect the seasoning.
Is it okay to cook tomato-based sauces?
No, acidic ingredients like tomatoes or wine will strip the seasoning and may lead to a metallic taste.
What is the best way to clean the pan after a stubborn cook?
Use a nylon brush with hot water and a small amount of salt as a gentle abrasive. Dry on a stove burner on low heat to ensure zero moisture.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
The seasoning layer may be thin or damaged. Re-clean the pan and perform the seasoning process again.
Visible rust spots appearing
This occurs if moisture remains on the pan. Scour the rust away with a mild abrasive, wash, dry immediately, and re-season.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your pan for service, you must season it: scrub the pan, dry it thoroughly, coat the interior with a thin layer of cooking oil, and heat it on the stove or in the oven until the oil polymerizes. Repeat this process several times for optimal results. After each use, wash the pan by hand with warm water and a soft sponge. Never put this pan in a dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat will strip the seasoning and potentially lead to oxidation. Store the pan in a dry location to prevent moisture buildup.
