WAS cast iron frying pans

Instructions for use – please read carefully before first-time use

You, too, can benefit from the outstanding frying properties by following the recommendations given below.

Before first-time use, please remove the anti-corrosion coating. To do so, fill a container (e.g. a bowl, saucepan or basin) with water and caustic soda in the ratio 100 gr. to 1 litre and submerge the pan in it completely. Bring the water to the boil for five minutes. Switch the oven off and leave the pan to soak in the solution for some 15 to 20 minutes. Then brush the protective film off with a kitchen brush. If it needs to be dampened, dip the pan into the solution again.

Afterwards dry the pan thoroughly. Then fill it with fat or cooking oil, along with plenty of salt and potato peelings or slices, and fry the mixture on a high heat for an hour. When done, dispose of the contents and heat the pan again for a short time with a little cooking oil. When the pan is almost cold, rub it dry with kitchen paper. It is then ready for use.

Please also remember…

Always let the pan and cooking oil heat up before adding meat. Allow meat to brown quickly before reducing the temperature for further cooking. The juices and aromas are then preserved in the best possible way.

After use, rub the pan out with kitchen paper, in case of stubborn dirt rinse out with hot water. Always allow the pan to dry properly and then grease it lightly.
