USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR PRE-SEASONED CAST IRON FAJITA PANS

• Before using your fajita pans for the first time, hand-wash with hot water. Using soap may remove the
pre-seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Your fajita pans have been pre-seasoned prior to shipment from the factory and do not need to be
seasoned. However, for best results, you may apply a light coating of cooking oil inside the fajita pans
before each use. This will ensure the fajita pans remain properly seasoned and prevent rusting.
• Note: Seasoning is a coat of oil baked onto the cast iron fajita pans at a high temperature, which
provides easy-release properties to the fajita pans. Cooking foods with fat and/or using oil will
continue to season the fajita pans over time.
• To re-season the fajita pans, apply a high smoke point cooking oil over the entire surface, then
heat in the oven for an hour at 350ºF (176ºC). To catch excess oil, place a baking sheet on the
oven rack below the fajita pans. The fajita pans are ready to use once cooled. You may wipe off
any excess oil remaining on the fajita pans.
• To best preserve the fajita pans' seasoning, we recommend using silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood
utensils when cooking. You may use metal utensils once the fajita pans are well seasoned after many uses.
Re-season as necessary.
• Cook using low to medium heat only. The use of high heat is unnecessary, as cast iron is an excellent
conductor of heat and effectively retains temperature.
• If using on a ceramic glass cooktop, always lift (do not slide) when moving to avoid scratching the cooktop.
• Keep the fajita pans on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking. Do not overheat an empty
skillet.
• Your fajita pans are oven-safe up to 500ºF (260ºC) without silicone grips and 450ºF (232ºC) with silicone
grips. Silicone grips will be hot to touch if used in oven. Only place silicone grip on unheated skillet
handle. Do not attempt to place silicone grip on hot skillet handle. Do not use with silicone grips under
an oven broiler unit.
• Always use oven mitts when handling hot fajita pans.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot fajita pans in cold water. Always let the fajita
pans cool before washing.
