HOW TO SEASON YOUR STEEL FRYING PAN FOR PERFECT SEALING, BROWNING & GRILLING

STEP ONE – WASH YOUR PANS

  • Scrub your new pan in hot, soapy water to remove packing oils, then rinse well and towel dry. Put it over a heat source (COOKTOP) or a 100°C oven for thorough drying, then let it cool before seasoning it.
  • We do not recommend washing pots and pans in the dishwasher; iron and steel will rust, and some finishes can get marked from the harsh detergents.

STEP TWO – CHOOSING THE BEST OIL FOR SEASONING

  • We recommend peanut oil because it has a very high smoking point.
  • Grapeseed and canola also have a higher tolerance than most oils to high heat.
  • Flaxseed Oil is recommended for thin coatings and repeated heatings.
  • We do not recommend using butter, olive and other oils that will smoke at low temperatures.

STEP THREE – PICK YOUR SEASONING METHOD

The Stovetop Method
  • Pour approx. one millimeter of oil into the pan and spread with your fingers over the inside surface up to the rim.
  • Put the pan over moderate heat and remove when the oil begins to smoke.
  • Let the pan cool completely, then with a clean cloth or paper towel, wipe off any excess oil and your pan is now ready to use.
The Oven Method
  • Pour one millimeter of oil into the pan and spread with your fingers over the inside surface up to the rim.
  • Put the oiled pan in a 140/150°C oven for about an hour.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool, then wipe off excess oil and your pan is ready to use.

STEP FOUR – THE CLEAN UP

  • After each use, clean your pan with very hot water and a scrubbing brush/scourer, then dry.
  • We do not recommend using soap. If you do, you will need to re-season the pan after washing it. If the steel pan ever rusts just scrub out the rust with a steel scourer, wash thoroughly and re-season it to bring it back looking brand new. We recommend a good quality cookware cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend Cookware and Polish
  • Keep your seasoned pans out of the dishwasher. Harsh detergents will remove the seasoning, undoing all that great work that just went into making your new pan last forever.

STEP FIVE – BEST WAY TO STORE YOUR PAN

  • If you don’t use steel pans very often, to preserve its properties, spread a light coating of oil on the inside surface of the pan before storing it, protecting it from humidity. For extra-long term storage, place in a plastic bag to keep it from rusting.
