Your First Cast Iron Frying Pan Guide: How to Use and Maintain It

May 23, 2024
Frying Pan

For those who are using an iron frying pan for the first time, we will introduce its appeal, usage, and maintenance methods in an easy-to-understand manner.

The charm of iron frying pans

Frying Pan

Ironworks Frying Pan / Urushiyama Metal Industry

Excellent thermal conductivity

Cast iron frying pans distribute heat evenly, so food can be cooked evenly. This allows you to cook food with a delicious browned finish.

Natural non-stock effect

The more you use it, the more the oil will become absorbed, creating a natural, stock-free effect. This allows you to cook with less oil, allowing you to enjoy healthy cooking.

Before first use

Remove the coating

When you first buy a cast iron skillet, it will have a coating applied to it from the factory. To remove this, heat it and scrub it thoroughly with hot water and a scrubbing brush.

seasoning

Frying Pan
  1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and allow the water to evaporate completely.
  2. Coat lightly with oil and heat until lightly smoking to allow the oil to soak in.
  3. After heating, leave it to cool to room temperature.

Cooking tips

Preheat thoroughly

Thoroughly preheating an iron frying pan will help prevent food from sticking to the pan. Preheat it over medium heat until it is completely warm.

Use the right amount of oil

Spread the oil evenly and when it is hot, add the ingredients.

To prevent burning

Do not put cold ingredients in the pot.

If you put food straight out of the refrigerator into the frying pan, the temperature will drop rapidly and the food will burn easily. Allow the food to return to room temperature before cooking.

Do not move

Once you've put the ingredients in, leave them for a while without moving them and let them brown, and they'll come apart naturally.

Maintenance method

Frying Pan

Daily care

After use, wash with warm water and a scrubbing brush. Do not use detergent to maintain the oil film. After washing, heat over medium heat to completely remove moisture, then apply a thin layer of oil before storing.

How to deal with burnt and rusted food

You can use detergent to remove any burnt residue that is difficult to remove. If rust occurs, scrub it off with a scrubbing brush or steel wool and re-season.

lastly

Frying Pan

Once you get used to using and maintaining your cast iron frying pan, it will become a cookware that will last you a lifetime. Don't think it will be too much work, just give it a try. By continuing to maintain it properly, you will be able to broaden the range of dishes you can make and make cooking even more fun!
