Then heat it on the stove on a medium-high temperature for about 5 minutes Throw away the oil and wipe your pan with paper towels The more the pan is used, the better the performance; the darker it becomes the better it is for natural non-stick properties Use: Heat a small amount of oil or fat in the frying pan, and once the pan is good and hot, seal the food about 45 seconds on each side before reducing the heat to complete cooking Do not leave food in the pan after cooking, as the residual heat will carry on cooking your food Cleaning after use: Wash the frying pan with very hot water and a sponge, and wipe dry. Never use soap on your pan. From time to time, purify the pan by heating up cooking salt over a high heat for about 1.5 minutes, then wipe with a kitchen paper towel. The salt helps to suppress any residues and odour from previous cooking To store, wipe oil over the surface with a paper towel and put away in a dry place Do not leave your pan to soak. If food sticks to the pan, use a green sponge to scrub it off, and re-season the area Never put the pan in a dishwasher. The pan may rust if these conditions are not respected. Just scrub the pan with a hard brush to remove the rust, and season from scratch Warranty Info This product comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects
