Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, wash the dish in warm water to remove any manufacturing oils and dry thoroughly. It is recommended to season the dish with a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat it periodically to maintain the surface integrity. This dish is compatible with all stovetops, including induction. After cooking, wash by hand using a stiff brush or non-abrasive scrubber. Never leave it to soak in water or store it while wet, as this will lead to oxidation. Once dried, apply a light coat of oil before storing in a dry environment to prevent rusting.
