Seasoning your EngelElzenPan:

You’ll need:

– Dish soap & water
– Some elbow grease & a little bit of patience
– Your oven
– Vegetable oil
– A dry cloth / Paper towel

Seasoning Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 70C on fan bake.
• Lightly wash your pan in warm soapy water, ensuring the pan is dried off well with a towel.
• Put your EngelElzen pan in the oven for 30 mins (this helps to make sure your pan is completely dry before we start to season).
• Take the pan out of the oven and then turn up the heat to 200C.
• Remove the pan from the oven, then dip a paper towel into a small amount of vegetable oil. lightly coat the pan with a thin layer of oil.
• Place the pan back in the 200C heated oven, upside down for another 60 minutes (you might want to put it on some foil to catch any oil drips).
• Flick the oven off and leave it in there to completely cool.
• If the pan is still sticky when it’s completely cooled, place in back in a hot oven for another hour to finish curing.

All done! Youre ready to cook with your EngelElzen Cast Iron Cookware. Seasoning your EngelElzen pan carbonizes a layer of oil into the pan giving the classic black look. It also helps to prevent food from sticking and protects your pan from rusting. If your pan does start to rust or becomes sticky – simply repeat the seasoning process. Seasoning your EngelElzen pan once a year is recommended, or better still, cook with it regularly! The more you use your EngelElzen pan, the better it will become.
