Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the skillet is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil. For stubborn residue, soak the pan and use a non-abrasive scraper.

Uneven cooking or hot spots

Ensure the skillet is centered on the hob burner or heating element. Allow sufficient time for the cast iron to fully preheat and distribute heat evenly.

Chipped enamel

Inspect the skillet for significant chips. Minor chips may not affect performance, but significant damage could indicate the need for replacement. Avoid dropping the skillet or subjecting it to sudden temperature changes.

Difficulty lifting due to weight

Use a sturdy oven mitt or a heat-resistant glove for the handle. Ensure you have a secure grip before lifting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Before first use, it is recommended to hand wash the skillet with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Some users may choose to season the enamel interior with a light oil, although this is not strictly necessary due to the vitreous enamel coating.

It is also oven safe up to 260°C.

  • Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh detergents, as these can scratch or damage the enamel.

  • Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the skillet completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
