Cast Iron Grill Pan 24, 26, 28 cm Removable Handle Induction BIOL (24 cm)

As per usual with cast iron cookware one star reviews left on a great product by idiots. Slating the basic care instructions when with minutes on google you can find comprehensive guides by experienced users. All cast iron needs multiple layers of seasoning food will stick until properly seasoned at least 5 or 6 times until jet black and shiny.1 Before first use wash in hot soapy water rinse well and dry on a low/med hot hob or oven DO NOT LEAVE TO AIR DRY OR WITH A CLOTH it will rust.2 Dont place on/in high heat immediately from cold or from hot into cold water thermal shock can crack it either way.3 season - preferably on large gas burner. Pan will smoke ferociously open a window. Heat on low and apply thin layer of vegetable oil inside and out (be thorough every square millimetre must be oiled) with paper towels held with tongs, gradually increase heat till smoking hot mopping up pools and drips and flip over move pan around to expose all of it to heat, 5 to 10 mins each side depending on burner size/output. Put upside down in hot oven @ 220C for an hour. leave to cool re oil and repeat oven step another 4 or 5 times.I tend to just do repeat seasonings when using the oven anyway. after use before pan gets fully cold put some boiling water in just enough to cover ridges over med heat scrape up any stuck bits, reduce for 5 - 10 mins and save for sauce stock rinse with fresh boiling water discard and return pan to heat until dry and smoking. Never wash pan, use metal scourer, detergent or use for acidic foods - all will damage / remove the seasoning and cause rust spots. Never store in same cupboard as cloth dried pots and dishes unless in a ziplock / pushseal plastic bag.

Good quality and heavy duty,!We did take care to season it well by coating with oil all over and sat it upside down over tin foil at 200 degrees (whilst doing other cooking) several times. This stopped it becoming rusty as has happened to other people.Arrived on time and well packaged.

Love my new griddle panWell made removable handle for soaking after use

It's heavy but well worth it
