How to season your pan
Before first use, clean the pan with very hot water and wipe dry. Pour 1cm of oil into the pan and heat on medium for 5 minutes or until the oil starts to bubble. Turn off the heat. This first step alone will even out any existing oily spots on the pan. Wait for the pan to cool off and discard the oil, wiping off any excess oil with a paper towel. At that stage, the pan starts to darken and loses its marks and spots. Repeat this process one or two more times. The more the pan is used, the better the performance. The darker it becomes the better the natural non-stick properties are. To ensure your pan keeps its properties and in order to avoid oxidation, wash it in hot tap water immediately after use and then wipe it dry with a paper towel. It may then be thinly oiled if you wish and stored in a dry place.
