3. Einrichtung und erste Verwendung

3.1 Auspacken

Carefully remove all packaging materials from the skillet and griddle. Inspect both pieces for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not use the product and contact customer support.

3.2 Erstreinigung

Before first use, wash the skillet and griddle thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. The ceramic nonstick coating does not require pre-seasoning.

4. Bedienungsanleitung

4.1 Wärmemanagement

• Cast iron heats slowly but retains heat exceptionally well. Preheat your skillet or griddle gradually over medium heat for optimal cooking results.
• Avoid using excessively high heat, as this can damage the nonstick coating over time and is generally unnecessary for cast iron. Medium heat is often sufficient for most cooking tasks.
• Always use a small amount of cooking oil or butter on the nonstick surface, even though it is nonstick, to enhance flavor and aid in food release.

4.2 Cooking with the Skillet

The 10-inch skillet is ideal for searing meats, sautéing vegetables, frying, and even baking. Its deep sides help contain food and liquids.

4.3 Cooking with the Griddle

The 10-inch griddle is perfect for pancakes, eggs, grilled sandwiches, and other flat foods. Its lower profile allows for easy flipping.

4.4 Using the Griddle as a Lid

The griddle is designed to fit securely on top of the skillet, effectively functioning as a lid. This allows for slow cooking, steaming, or keeping food warm. Ensure the griddle is properly aligned on the skillet to trap heat and moisture.

5. Pflege und Wartung

5.1 Reinigung

• Allow the cookware to cool completely before cleaning. Sudden temperature changes can cause warping or damage to the nonstick coating.
• While the cookware is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to prolong the life of the nonstick coating and maintain its appearance.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the nonstick surface.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the cookware in warm, soapy water for a short period before cleaning.
• Dry thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the integrity of the cast iron.

5.2 Speicherung

Store the skillet and griddle in a dry place. If stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between the pieces to protect the nonstick surface from scratches.

6. Fehlerbehebung

6.1 Anhaften von Lebensmitteln

• Ensure you are using a small amount of cooking oil or fat.
• Verify that the cookware is properly preheated before adding food.
• Vermeiden Sie es, die Pfanne zu überfüllen, da dies die Temperatur senken und zum Anhaften führen kann.

6.2 Uneven Cooking

• Ensure the cookware is centered on the heat source.
• Allow sufficient time for the cast iron to preheat evenly across the entire surface.

6.3 Rusting

While the nitrided surface helps prevent rust, prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause issues. Always dry the cookware thoroughly immediately after washing. If rust spots appear, they can often be removed with a mild abrasive (like a nylon scrubber) and then the area should be dried and lightly oiled.
