Product Information

Full details

The Kuhn Rikon Star Of Iron 19cm frying pan is a robust kitchen essential designed for home cooks who prioritize durability and heat performance, making it particularly well-suited for preparing Swiss Rosti and precision frying. While its compact 19cm diameter is ideal for individual portions and specialty tasks, the iron construction requires specific seasoning and care routines to maintain its performance and prevent rust, which may be a caveat for users accustomed to non-stick surfaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this pan dishwasher safe?

No, this iron pan should only be hand washed and dried immediately to prevent rust.

Can I use this pan on an induction stove?

Yes, the Star Of Iron range is fully compatible with induction hobs.

What does seasoning the pan mean?

Seasoning involves applying a thin layer of oil to the surface and heating it to create a protective, natural non-stick coating.

Is the 19cm size big enough for a family dinner?

No, the 19cm size is ideal for individual portions or smaller side dishes rather than large family-sized meals.

Should I use metal utensils with this pan?

While iron is durable, using wooden or silicone utensils is recommended to preserve the seasoning layer.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

The pan likely needs better seasoning. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil, heat on low until it smokes slightly, and let it cool completely before repeating.

Surface developing rust spots

Gently scrub the rusted area with a scouring pad, wash, dry immediately, and re-season the pan with a fresh layer of oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention for consistent frying results
  • Perfect size for personal portions or side dishes
  • Highly durable construction built to last
  • Works seamlessly on induction, gas, and electric hobs

Cons

  • Requires manual seasoning to maintain non-stick properties
  • Not dishwasher safe due to iron material
  • Small 19cm diameter is not suitable for family-sized meals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before the first use, it is recommended to wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue and then perform an initial seasoning by heating a thin layer of oil in the pan. To maintain the integrity of the iron, always hand wash the pan with minimal soap and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent oxidation. Never leave the pan to soak in water or store it while damp. While it is fully compatible with induction hobs, ensure the base is clean to prevent scratching the glass surface of your cooktop.
