*warranty:
Solidteknics offers a multi-century warranty for all defects related to materials or manufacturing occuring during normal cooking. Note this is a manufacturing warranty for defects and is not valid for improper use, lack of maintenance, or 'change of heart'. For the warranty to remain valid, Solidteknics seasoning and care instructions must be followed.
If there is a surface seasoning or rust spotting problem, simply clean and re-season.
dimensions/materials:
Length 58cm (including handle) / Diameter 30cm / Diameter of base 27cm / Height at handle 10cm / Height of bowl 5.5cm.
Care for your pan:
No dishwasher. No soap. Wash under hot water and scrub with a brush. Scrape anything stuck with a wooden spatula to remove food while preserving the non-food black seasoning. You can use metal implements and scourers, but note that it may remove some of the seasoning. In which case, you will simply need to re-season the surface.
How to Season Your Pan:
Seasoning has ben done since the age of iron to provide low-stick ability and corrosion resistance. Applying thin layers of oil and heating to its smoke point, breaks down the oil, allowing it to bond and layer on the steel pan surface (fat polymerisation). The surface is forever renewable, so if you make mistakes, or the seasoning is removed through cleaning, you simply start building again - unlike Teflon and synthetic-coated pans that are useless once the surface is scratched and damaged.
Don't expect a slick, even surface like Teflon. A seasoned pan is superior in health and sustainability, but it will be more 'earthy' and less visually perfect than synthetic non stick coatings. The surface will depend on how you season and what you use the pan for. These are the pans that you see used by restaurant chefs.
You can oven season, stove-top season, or old-school season while you cook. Please follow instructions supplied with your pan. Solidteknics also offers comprehensive seasoning and care instructions on its website www.solidteknics.com/ironcare/

Beautiful pan
I adore this pan. It has all the benefits of cast iron, but is so light! I had been using the same old scrappy "non-stick" pan for more than a year now, wishing I could lift a cast iron one... This is a wonderful solution!
So easy to cook with.
Eggs slide off, risotto doesn't stick, best frypan I've ever owned. There is a bit of work in seasoning the pan but well worth it.
