Staub 20cm Cast Iron Frying Pan, Grey

Tips for Preventing Rust

To prevent rust, it's crucial to limit your cast-iron pan's exposure to water as much as possible, since cast iron is highly susceptible to it. After rinsing, immediately wipe off any excess water with a towel to ensure the pan is bone-dry. Additionally, it's recommended to lightly oil the pan after each use, including the outside and the handle, to create a protective layer.

The seasoning process is essential for maintaining a non-stick finish on your cast-iron pan. Start by dropping a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the pan and spreading it around with your fingers or a paper towel, taking care not to burn yourself on a warm skillet. Wipe off the excess oil, leaving the pan lightly greased. Then, place the pan upside-down on the upper rack of your oven, which has been preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and has aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Allow the pan to bake for about an hour, then turn off the oven and leave the pan inside until it has cooled completely. This process allows the oil to bake into the pores of the pan, creating a durable non-stick surface.

Cast-iron pans are versatile and durable, retaining heat effectively and keeping dishes hot when served at the table. The matte black enamel interior helps develop great flavors, is scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. These pans are suitable for use in the oven, under the grill, and on all hob types, including induction. They come with a lifetime warranty for domestic use against defects in manufacture and materials, and are made by STAUB in France.
