The pan came with a small info sheet "(or similar Persil) briefly rinse with detergent" on something like stand. At first I thought it was a funny translation errors, and washed them with normal washing up liquid from.
However, this is not meant! It must actually have washing powder or washing soda.
Second attempt with Persil: I let the pan one hour soak: The liquor was light gray and everywhere in Persil were these little blue beads, the pan was suddenly completely blank.
This means that the black coating was removed at those locations.
Now I realized that the entire abmuss black layer!
I believe that this many wrong when one looks at the reviews so. There are even illustrated Einbrennanleitungen the internet where just on the black coating stuck something fat burned and was geschwafelt from a well branded pan.
So easy it is!
I have 4 days are required to make ready for the pan. There is also a star deduction. The corrosion protection is quite fierce.
I had a wok, in which it was similar. There was only the angle grinder.
The coating thus had from.
Unfortunately detergent has not brought the best results.
It always went from only the smallest scrap of. But the water was always gray.
Even 24 hours soaking brought nothing.
The solution was then: apple cider vinegar!
Simply fill the pan with cider vinegar and leave something. The corrosion protection dissolves completely!
I have it soak overnight after I despaired in advance with a wire brush and sandpaper on the day.
With vinegar it went completely on its own. I just need a little scrubbing with a scrubbing brush.
Then we went with smooth pan for baking.
Again, one should not give up the marketing sayings of the package insert.
For me there was 2x fire alarm at the Einbrennaktion and I had already turned down the heat on third level.
It stinks and smokes enormous.
I used coconut oil and potatoes and salt. The coconut oil does not smoke himself and is very well suited.
The result was a beautiful first patina. Not burnt fat but beautiful brown iron. Approximately in the color as fawn spark plugs.
This process I have repeated again and then produced the world's best potatoes.
My two tips for potatoes:
1. Only use as fat lard. (Pork or butter)
2. onions only purely shortly before the end. Charring else
Potatoes need to be cooked in advance not succeed and fantastic.
Burnt is there nothing from the beginning. With eggs, it was initially complicated. The first 2 weeks went nix, now slide fried eggs out of the pan so that it is a real pleasure. Even the old Teflon looks as envious ...
My tip for eggs:
Set up in the cold pan and not drangehen before they are cooked. They dissolve automatically, "if they are ready"!
Conclusion: A fantastic pan for everything. Will not remain my only iron pan. A larger must also produce more. It fits namely purely not much.
The stalk remains permanently cool !! I do not know how he does it.
It takes a while until you raushat the arc. For example, you have everything with me halfway stage of normal pans to cook, because the iron pan is much hotter. Normally, nothing goes below level 2 (of 3). In this pan burns almost everything with more heat than Level 1.5. Bratkartoffen I roast at Level 1 of 3. Steak 1.5 of. 3
Have fun with the great pan.
