Afer A Few Uses

It is common for the pre-seasoned grapeseed oil to come off after initial usage, revealing a more metallic color. Don’t be alarmed! The pan is still 100% functional and non-toxic; it simply takes continued use/care to build a thick enough layer of seasoning to create a lasting non-stick coating!

"Once you learn to care for carbon steel, stainless steel and cast-iron cookware, the cleanup takes seconds. A little hot water; a quick brush, a swipe of oil - that's it. I've cooked for decades with these materials. I've made everything from scrambled eggs to sticky caramels and fish fillets, and still haven't found a reason to reach for anything coated with Teflon or other nonstick pans with forever chemicals."
