FAQs
Can I use metal utensils on the pan?
While the pan is durable, it's best to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to avoid scratching the surface and damaging the seasoning.
How do I remove stuck-on food?
Use a wooden spatula or scraper to remove stuck-on food. For stubborn residues, boil water in the pan to loosen the food before scrubbing.
Can I put the griddle pan in the dishwasher?
It is not recommended to put cast iron cookware in the dishwasher. Dishwashers can strip away the seasoning. Hand washing is the best approach.
How do I store the griddle pan?
Make sure the pan is completely dry before storing it. You can place a paper towel between the pan and other items to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
What kind of oil should I use for seasoning?
Use cooking oils with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or flaxseed oil. Avoid using olive oil, which has a lower smoke point.
How often should I re-season the pan?
Re-season the pan as needed, typically every few months or whenever you notice food sticking. If you use it frequently, more frequent seasoning might be necessary.
Is it safe to use the pan in the oven?
Yes, the Oypla Cast Iron Griddle Pan is oven-safe. However, use oven mitts when handling a hot pan.
Troubleshooting
Food sticks to the surface.
Ensure the pan is adequately seasoned. Re-season the pan following the care instructions. Also, make sure the pan is heated properly before adding food.

Dry the pan completely after washing. If rust appears, scrub it off with steel wool, re-season the pan.
