    How to Care for Your Carbon Steel Frying Pan

    Carbon steel requires a little maintenance, but proper seasoning helps improve its cooking performance over time.

    1. Build Seasoning: Cook with a small amount of oil or fat to help develop the naturally seasoned surface.

    2. Hand Wash Only: Avoid dishwashers and prolonged soaking.

    3. Dry Completely: Thoroughly dry the pan after washing to help prevent rust.

    4. Apply a Thin Layer of Oil: Lightly oil the cooking surface after cleaning to maintain seasoning.

    5. Limit Acidic Ingredients Initially: Avoid prolonged cooking with acidic foods until the seasoning is well developed.

    6. Re-Season When Necessary: If rust develops, clean the affected area, dry thoroughly, and restore the seasoning.
