Care / Use Instructions

Hard Coat Anodised Aluminium

Do I need to pre-season my cookware, bakeware, pizza pans or disks before I use them?

No, just wipe on a film of Canola or Ground Nut oil (tasteless) before your first use; that’s it!

Is it dishwasher safe?
No. We advise that these products are NOT used in any type of dishwasher.

Detergents that contain Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide) are NOT suitable as this is the same solution that is used in the anodising industry to strip off anodic coatings. Therefore the latter will eventually remove the coating.

Black Iron / Carbon Steel – Seasoning Instructions

Do I need to pre-season my Pizza Pan?

“Black Iron” pizza pans should be seasoned before use. To season: wash in warm, soapy water and quickly dry. Wipe a small amount of cooking oil on all surfaces and bake until the oil has burnt on to the pan. Wipe all excess oil from the pan. “Black Iron” pizza pans may need periodic re-seasoning. “Black Iron” will darken with repeated use. Never soak “Black Iron” in water.

Cookware seasoning instructions

“Black Iron” cookware should be seasoned prior to use; this is best done by gently heating about 1cm of oil in the base of the pan. After heating the oil, allow it to cool before disposing of the oil, then wipe the pan with kitchen paper. This seasoning starts the beginning of a naturally forming “patina” on the surface.

Vitreous Enamel

• Before use, wash in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Occasional LIGHT use on a conventional gas or electric hob will not harm the product. Always use a LOW heat and never allow the dish to sit on a hob without additional liquids added.
• Save fuel and prolong the life of your pans by using a gentle heat when you start cooking. This will also help to prevent food burning on to the base of the pan.
• Do not plunge hot pans into cold water immediately after use.
• For removing really stubborn marks you will be safe with any cleaning product which bears the recommended symbol of the VEA for general use on vitreous enamel.
• It is safe to clean this product in a dishwasher.
• If a vitreous enamelled pan becomes stained (after boiling beetroot, for example) first fill it with water and then add a teaspoonful of household bleach. Soak for a few hours and clean in the usual way. In hard water areas, drying pans immediately after washing will prevent a whitish film forming.

Pizza Serving Bats

•  DO NOT use in a dishwasher. The intense steam and extended time in hot water will make the wood crack.
• DO wash in soapy water fairly quickly after use.
• DO NOT let the board sit in water. The water will make the wood crack.
• DO pat dry with a cloth and let it air dry.
• DO rub with a slice of lemon and let it air dry if any strong flavours have seeped into the wood.
• DO apply a mineral oil to the wood every once in a while to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking.
