Owners of new frying pans are confident that the purchased product does not require any manipulation.

Supposedly, you can put the dishes on the stove right away and cook your favorite dishes. In fact, the frying pan needs to be prepared for use.

The whole problem is in the sealant and temporary technical lubricant with which the product gets to the counter from the factory. Regular washing will not help to remove this layer. This is especially true for products made of enamel, cast iron, steel.

How to prepare a frying pan for use

1. First, wash the item by hand. Use any dishwashing detergent and a sponge.

2. Next, place the frying pan on the stove and heat it up. Cast iron items are filled with a good layer of vegetable oil.

These actions will help remove all harmful substances from the surface and create a non-stick layer.

3. A frying pan with a non-stick coating also needs to be heated (up to 200 °C), but without oil.

4. After calcination, which lasts on average 1 minute, the dishes are given time to cool. The process cannot be accelerated with cold water.

5. When the utensils have cooled down, wash them again with a soft sponge and dishwashing detergent in warm water.
