FAQs
Is the Kettler Cozze pan pre-seasoned?
While cast iron benefits from initial seasoning, it is recommended to perform a proper seasoning process before the first use to ensure optimal non-stick properties and longevity.
Can I put the pan in the dishwasher?
No, the cast iron pan should never be put in a dishwasher. Hand washing with hot water and a brush is recommended. The beechwood tray should also be hand-washed.
What are the dimensions of the cooking surface?
The cooking surface measures approximately 165 mm in width and 330 mm in length.
Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
Yes, metal utensils can be used with cast iron, but it's best to avoid excessively sharp or aggressive scraping that could damage the seasoning over time.
What is the purpose of the beechwood tray?
The FSC-certified beechwood tray is designed for serving food directly from the pan, adding a rustic presentation and protecting surfaces.
How do I store the pan when not in use?
Ensure the pan is completely dry after cleaning and lightly oiled. Store it in a dry place, ideally with a paper towel placed inside to absorb any residual moisture and protect the seasoning.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
The handle is made of stainless steel with a soft-touch coating designed for comfort and a secure grip. While it offers some heat resistance, it is still advisable to use a pot holder or oven mitt when the pan is very hot.
Troubleshooting
Pan has developed rust spots
Scrub the rusted areas with steel wool until clean. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the pan by applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating it on the stovetop or in an oven.
Food is sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is properly seasoned. Pre-heat the pan gradually and use an adequate amount of cooking oil or fat. For the griddle side, ensure food is not placed on too high heat too quickly.
Uneven cooking results
Make sure the pan is fully pre-heated before adding food. Ensure the heat source is evenly distributed beneath the pan.
Handle feels loose
Check that the screws securing the handle are tightened properly. Be cautious when handling a hot pan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Before first use, wash the pan and tray with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. For cast iron, it is recommended to season the pan by applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating it on the stovetop for a short period. Repeat this process a few times for optimal non-stick properties and rust prevention.
Compatibility: This pan is suitable for use on various heat sources including gas, electric, induction stovetops, and outdoor grills or campfires. The detachable handle allows for easy placement and removal from heat sources.
Care and Cleaning: After use, allow the pan to cool before cleaning. Wash with hot water and a stiff brush or non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers, as these can strip the seasoning. Dry the pan immediately and thoroughly after washing. To maintain its condition, apply a light coat of cooking oil to the cooking surface after drying. Store in a dry place. The beechwood tray should be hand-washed and dried.
