• Initial Seasoning — Wash the pan with hot water and mild soap, dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like flaxseed or vegetable oil) all over the pan, inside and out. Heat on the stove over medium-high heat until it smokes, then let it cool. Repeat 2-3 times for a good base layer.
• Cooking — Preheat the pan over medium heat for a few minutes before adding oil or food. For crepes, pour batter and swirl to coat. For searing, ensure the pan is hot before adding ingredients. Avoid acidic foods initially until the seasoning is well-established.
• Cleaning and Maintenance — After use, clean with hot water and a stiff brush or scraper if needed. Avoid soap, as it can strip the seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly with a towel, then apply a very thin coat of oil before storing to prevent rust.
