FAQs
Is the Olympia Mini Cast pan dishwasher safe?
No, it is not dishwasher safe. Dishwashers will strip the seasoning and cause the cast iron to rust rapidly.
What is the exact diameter of the pan?
The pan measures 115mm at the rim and 100mm at the base.
Can I use this on an induction stovetop?
While cast iron is generally induction-compatible, check the base diameter against your burner size to ensure proper connectivity and to avoid surface scratching.
Do I need a wooden board to use this?
While not strictly required, a wooden board is highly recommended to protect your tables and counters from the heat of the cast iron.
How do I maintain the black finish?
Regular seasoning with oil after every wash is the best way to maintain the finish and prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Surface rust appearing on the pan
Gently scrub the rusted area with a scouring pad, rinse, dry thoroughly, and re-season with a thin layer of oil.
Food sticking to the surface
The pan likely lacks sufficient seasoning; clean the pan, apply a layer of high-smoke point oil, and bake at 180C for one hour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, ensure the pan is thoroughly washed and seasoned with a light layer of vegetable oil and heated in the oven to create a natural non-stick barrier. The pan is compatible with most standard oven types but should not be used in a dishwasher. After each use, clean the pan using warm water and a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents that strip the seasoning. After cleaning, dry it immediately on the stove over low heat to evaporate moisture, then apply a very thin coat of oil before storing it in a dry environment to prevent oxidation. For presentation, this pan fits perfectly with specific Olympia wooden serving boards.
