Turk 20cm Frying/Grilling/Serving Pan with 2 handles (65920)

The forged iron skillet has a continuous grain throughout, which comes from heat shaping (the process of heating at 1000 degrees C, then striking the metal with a hammer until it has the intended shape). The continuous grain of the iron makes the pan get hot faster than cast iron, and it stays hot, allowing food cooking on its surface to stay tender inside and form a crispy outer skin. This makes it an ideal pan for cooking meat! Forged iron is also longer-lasting than cast iron, which is formed by pouring hot iron into a cast mold. If you drop a cast iron pan, it can break. Forged iron won’t! Many recipes that call for roasting a dish in the oven will also mention the alternative use of an iron pan, for which the forged fry pan also works.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

A brand new iron skillet requires simple start care before you’re ready to cook, and a few rules of maintenance in order to make the pan last forever (which it really can). Here are the things you should know: Never put the pan in the dishwasher or run cold water on the hot pan. This can shock the pan and cause fissures or even warp the pan.

Use caution and always make sure you have an oven mitt or towels to cover the handles when you’re cooking. How to care The forged iron skillet only requires soap once in its life: and that’s when it’s brand new, right before you season it. The seasoning process is necessary. It protects the pan from rust and creates a nonsticky surface. -Starting with a brand new, unseasoned skillet, wash the pan with soap. You can use simple dish soap. After this. Never wash it with soap again. -Rinse the skillet with hot water to remove all the soap. -After cleaning, make sure the pan is completely dry and smooth. You can heat it up on the stovetop if you want to ensure all moisture has been removed. -Using cooking oil such as soybean, safflower or canola oil (don’t use low-smoke oils like olive or butter), apply it over every part of the skillet. -Bake. Set the oven 350-400 F and place the cookware upside down on the top rack of the oven. Bake the cookware for at least an hour. You can place aluminum foil underneath the pan to avoid drippings getting on the heating element. Then turn off the oven and allow the cookware to cool (for several hours) to room temperature in the oven. Store. Put in a cool, dry place. Thinly coat the cookware with cooking oil in-between uses to maintain seasoning. If your pan comes with a coating, simply wash it with warm water and a bit of soap before first use. This is an all-natural olive oil coating, which protects your pan from rust. Please note that the olive oil coating can also cause some streaks to appear in the surface, these will not impact the pan’s use in any way. Pans without a coating may have some white or silver spots present, as a result of the hot-forging process. These also have no impact on the quality of the pan, simply season it, then it will be ready for use. Production & design Since 1857, Turk has been manufacturing.
