Important!
• Before first use, traces of oil may appear on the
product, as IKEA cast iron pans have been pre-
treated with food-grade oil to prevent corrosion
during transport.
• The visible traces of oil are harmless and do not
affect the functionality of the frying pan. They
will disappear after seasoning the cookware,
which should be done before you use the prod-
uct for the first time, please follow the instruc-
tions below.
Before first use
• Before you use this product for the first time,
wash it by hand and dry thoroughly. Any lefto-
ver pre-treated food-grade oil will aid in the
seasoning process.
• In order for the product to resist corrosion
and food sticking, this cookware needs to go
through a seasoning process. By seasoning, the
pores of the pan are filled with oil that forms a
protective coating.
• To season a cast iron pan, a small amount of oil
is rubbed on to all surfaces of the pan and then
it is heated in the oven or on the cooker to max.
150°C (300°F) for minimum one hour. Leave
the pan to cool off and wipe off excess oil. This
treatment should be repeated three times when
the pan is new, but once it has been seasoned
it only needs to be treated in this way once in
a while.
Care and cleaning
• Clean the pan after use by washing it by hand in
water using a brush. If you wash the cookware
while it is still warm, it will be easier to clean.
Carefully wipe dry after cleaning.
• Only use hot water for cleaning. Do not use
washing-up liquid since it dries out the material
and removing the necessary layer of fat that is
needed for cast iron surfaces.
• Stains from cooked food can be removed by
