Non-coated cast iron means the pan is made entirely of cast iron without any synthetic non-stick coatings like Teflon. Its non-stick properties are developed and maintained through a process called seasoning, which involves heating oil on the pan's surface.
It's recommended to season the pan after every use, especially when new, to build and maintain its protective layer. Regular cooking with oil also contributes to seasoning over time.
Yes, metal utensils are generally safe to use with non-coated cast iron as it is very durable. However, very aggressive scraping could potentially remove seasoning, which can be easily restored.
While possible, it's best to limit prolonged cooking of highly acidic foods, as they can break down the seasoning and impart a metallic taste. For short cooking times, it's usually not an issue.
The wooden handle is designed to stay cooler than the cast iron body, but some heat transfer is possible, especially with prolonged high-heat cooking. Use a pot holder or oven mitt for extra safety if needed.
A small amount of mild dish soap can be used occasionally, but avoid harsh detergents and never use a dishwasher. Thorough rinsing and immediate drying are crucial. Over time, excessive soap can strip the seasoning.
Ensure the pan is properly seasoned and preheated before adding food. Use adequate cooking oil or fat. If sticking persists, re-season the pan following the care instructions.
Rust indicates that the protective oil layer has worn off or the pan was not dried completely. Scrub off the rust with steel wool, wash, dry thoroughly, and immediately re-season the pan.
Verify that the pan is placed on a level stovetop and that the heat source is centered. Ensure the thickened bottom is clean and free from debris that could interfere with heat transfer.
Check if the connection between the stainless steel rod and the wooden handle has come loose. If it's a screw fitting, try tightening it. For permanent fixtures, contact customer support.
Initial Setup: Before first use, it is recommended to wash the pan with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil all over the pan (inside and out) and place it in a preheated oven at a low temperature (around 200°F or 95°C) for an hour. Wipe out excess oil before storing. This process helps to build up the initial seasoning.
Compatibility: This frying pan is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric. It is also oven-safe, allowing for versatile cooking.
