Cleaning
Before using this product for the first time,
wash it by hand and dry thoroughly.
Clean the pot/pan after use by washing it by
hand in water using a brush. If you wash the
pan while it is still warm, it will be easier to
clean. Carefully wipe dry after cleaning.
Only use hot water for cleaning, no
detergents.
Care instruction
To season a cast iron pot or pan, rub a
small amount of oil onto all surfaces. Then
heat the pot/pan in the oven or on the hob
to max. 150°C (300°F) for a minimum of
one hour. Leave the pot/pan to cool and
wipe off excess oil. This treatment should
be repeated three times when the product
is new. After seasoning the pot/pan these
three times, it only needs to be treated once
in a while. If corrosion or food stains arise,
or if food burns and sticks, the pot/pan can
be cleaned with steel wool or an abrasive
sponge and then re-seasoned.
Good to know
The pan is suitable for use on all types of
hobs and is oven-safe.
When food is cooked in an untreated cast
iron pot/pan, the frying fat collects in the
small pores in the cast iron surface. This
means that the food to be fried or browned
is not directly in contact with the base, but
rather with a layer of fat, which adds a nice,
brown surface to what you're cooking. This
also prevents the food from burning easily.
In order to avoid drying out the material and
removing the necessary layer of fat, the pan
should only be cleaned with clean, hot water.
