FAQs

Can I use this pan on an induction hob?

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all hob types, including induction.

Is the pan dishwasher safe?

To ensure the longevity of the vitreous enamel and the handle, hand washing is highly recommended.

Do I need to season this pan?

No, the vitreous enamel interior does not require seasoning like raw cast iron.

What is the maximum oven temperature?

The pan is oven safe up to 260°C.

Are the materials safe for cooking?

Yes, the enamel surface is free from PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE.

How long is the guarantee?

The product comes with a 25-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated with a small amount of oil or butter before adding ingredients. Avoid cooking on maximum heat settings.

Enamel surface appears stained

Gently clean the interior using a paste made of baking soda and water, or use a dedicated enamel-safe cleaner.

Handle is loose

Check the mounting points; if the handle is permanently attached and wobbly, contact the manufacturer under the 25-year guarantee.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention for professional-quality searing
  • Versatile stovetop-to-oven functionality
  • Safe, non-reactive enamel coating
  • Compatible with all heat sources including induction
  • Extremely durable construction

Cons

  • Heavier than aluminum or stainless steel pans
  • Requires hand washing to maintain the enamel surface
  • The handle can become hot during stovetop use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. To maintain the life of your cast iron pan:

  1. Heating: Always heat the pan gradually; sudden temperature shocks can cause the enamel to crack.
  2. Cooking: Use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to protect the vitreous enamel coating.
  3. Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. While the enamel is robust, hand washing is recommended to avoid chips and maintain the finish.
  4. Storage: Ensure the pan is completely dry before storing it to prevent any moisture buildup around the rim.
