This pan is the hammer! But you will be burned correctly. Who actually put the myth of the burning with salt and potatoes in the world? What nonsense! which the manufacturer recommends? None! Will probably have a reason, right? I have burned my de Buyers before the first use at least three times by the following method: gas stove, large heat. Applying Gauzy oil film with paper towels extremely evenly and heat until the oil has evaporated, leaving a black film. So is this, now for God's sake do not lose your nerve! The black is the patina!
That and only that produces the famous patina. Whether Pfann- or potato pancakes, crepes or fried, omelet or schnitzel, with me nothing staring them in the pan on. No rinsing necessary to briefly go through with a paper towel is sufficient, at the end of a drop of oil in and distribute. So you have many years of fun at one of the best cups of the world.
