Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Your Living and Home Egg Frying Pan Skillet comes pre-seasoned with plant-based oil. It is ready for use right out of the box. For best results, you may wish to apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat the pan gently before its first use.
Compatibility:
This skillet is designed for universal compatibility. It works effectively on:
- Gas stovetops
- Electric stovetops
- Induction cooktops
- Ceramic cooktops
- Oven use
- Open flame (grill, campfire)
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only with warm water and a stiff brush or non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using soap or harsh detergents, as they can strip the seasoning. If food residue is stuck, simmer water in the pan for a few minutes to loosen it.
- Drying: Immediately after washing, dry the pan thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. Place the pan on a low heat burner for a few minutes to ensure all moisture evaporates.
- Seasoning: After drying, apply a very thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable, canola, or flaxseed oil) to the entire cooking surface. Wipe away any excess oil with a paper towel. Heat the pan over medium heat for a few minutes until it just begins to smoke, then let it cool.
- Storage: Store the pan in a dry place. Placing a paper towel inside can help absorb any residual moisture and protect the seasoning.
