This lightweight pan has a diameter of 34 cm.How do I use my wok?
To prevent food from sticking to the bottom, it is important to go through the following steps. Before frying, take the ingredients out of the refrigerator so that they can already reach room temperature. Place the wok on the heat source. Let the pan come to temperature slowly over low heat, adding oil or butter only when the pan is well heated. This will take several minutes. Be sure to use a little more oil or butter when first using the pan to prevent (protein-rich) foods from sticking to the pan quickly. Pat your ingredients dry as much as possible before placing them in the pan. Let the ingredients that do stick slightly to the bottom cook gently, without trying to loosen them from the bottom. If necessary, turn the stove down a bit and wait quietly for the food to loosen from the bottom.How do I maintain and clean the wok?
After cooking, let the pan cool down. Be sure not to rinse the hot pan directly under or in cold water. This causes thermal shock and can cause cracking. When the pan has cooled sufficiently clean it with warm water and a dishwashing brush or scratch-free scouring pad. Use little to no detergent, this is too acidic and damages the patina layer (natural non-stick coating) and can also cause rusting. Especially if you haven't had the pan very long, this patina layer is not as strong yet. Should the above not have the desired effect, you can bring the pan to the boil with a small amount of water. Let the pan cool for a while and then you can remove the residue with a dishwashing brush or other soft utensils. After cleaning, you can grease the pan with a very thin layer of Skottsberg burn-in oil and rub it out with a paper kitchen towel. This helps against rusting. Now store the pan in a dry place.What is a patina layer
Skottsberg cast iron pans are pre-burned, using only natural oil. This creates a natural non-stick coating. This patina layer is created by heating the pan with a thin layer of Skottsberg burn-in oil until the pan begins to smoke. This Inbrand oil is available separately and is the best way to burn in the Skottsberg pans. Exposure to high temperatures breaks down long chains of fat molecules into short-chain polymers that bind with naturally produced carbon and bright iron, creating a kind of glaze.This is the patina layer that forms after burning in these pans and it has smooth, non-stick properties similar to a synthetic non-stick coating. It also forms a natural barrier between the air and the bare iron in your pan and acts as the first line of defense against rust. It is definitely advisable to re-brand the pan yourself before its first use. Be sure to read the instructions attached to the pan to do so.Cast Iron Cookware
