Seasoning & Care
As a traditional carbon steel pan, it requires seasoning to create its natural, non-stick surface. Because this pan is not nitrided, it requires prompt and thorough drying after every wash to prevent rust. This is a normal characteristic of pure carbon steel and is part of the traditional care process. For detailed instructions on how to build and maintain the patina, please see our comprehensive user guide.
