Care and Maintenance
Before First Use: Season with Oil
- Wash the inside and outside of your frying pan or wok with dish soap.
- Pour oil into the pan to fill about 1/3 of its capacity and heat on low heat for 5 minutes.

- We suggest using an oil basting set and a charcoal oil filter pot to properly maintain your carbon steel cookware.
