• Break the cycle of disposable synthetic imports that end up in landfill.
• One-time purchase to save money and resources - made for multi-generational use, each pan engraved with the date of manufacture for collectibility.
• Non-toxic and sustainable alternative to synthetic non-stick coatings - most non-stick cookware, such as Teflon, is made with PTFE and other harmful toxins and heavy metals that off-gas when heated.

• Highly conductive on any heat source - induction, gas, ceramic, halogen, electric, oven, open fire.
• Australian wrought iron (or low carbon mild steel) is better quality than steel cookware from China, which has a high carbon content, is not as durable, and does not conduct heat as well.
• One-piece, seamless and rivetless for better durability and hygiene - no food or dirt getting caught in the cracks.
• Cooks like cast iron but is half the weight, for easy maneuverability and handling.
• Thick iron cooks and heats evenly without warping.
• Broad concave handle allows for more control while cooking.

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/
