Seasoning: preparing your frying pan
Pour about one millimeter of oil -just to cover the bottom
of the pan- and heat it until smoke appears. Next, thrown
away the oil in a pan and wipe your pan with paper towels .
The more the pan is used, the better the performance.
The darker it becomes the better it is for natural nonstick
properties.
Use:
Heat a small amount of fat in the frying pan, and once the
pan is good and hot, seal the food about 45 seconds on
each side before reducing the heat to complete cooking.
Do not leave the meals in the pan after cooking.
Cleaning after use:
1) Wash the frying pan with very hot water and a sponge.
Wipe dry.
2) Purify the pan from time to time : heat up cooking salt
over a fast heat during 1 min 30 and wipe with a kitchen
paper. The salt helps to suppress the residues and the
odours from previous cookings.
3) Oil with a paper towel and put away in a dry place
Warning!
Do not leave your pan to soak. If food sticks to the pan,
use a green sponge. Never put in a dishwasher.The pan may
rust if these use conditions aren’t respected : just scrub the
pan with a hard brush to remove the rust. The cooking of acid
foods - tomatoes, white wine, lemon…may alter seasoning
(the appearance of white stains) - if this occurs, the pan should
be seasoned again. If traces of bees wax appear on your hob
when using MINERAL B ELEMENT
®
, remove them with
absorbent paper when the hob is hot.

IRON FRYING PAN
for SEALING, BROWNING, GRILLING
THE MAILLARD REACTION
Once it reaches temperatures above 140°C, the carbon steel
frying pan seals the food on the surface, resulting in the ca-
ramelization of the natural juices - the Maillard reaction. A
crust forms, preventing moisture from evaporating. The food
becomes brown and crusty on the surface, tender and soft in
the middle. Perfect for frying meat and obtaining crispy crepes
or tasty omelettes!

remove the excess of wax. Then will remain a very thin cover
of wax which allows a better seasoning.
Then carefully wipe the pan with absorbent paper.
