How to get the best out of our enamelled frying pan

Have you ordered our enamelled frying pan? Lovely. Or are you thinking about it? Then you have come to the right place. Here we have gathered our best tips on how to use the pan to its full potential and get the most out of it in the kitchen.

1. Heat it slowly
Our enamelled frying pan is at heart a carbon steel pan with an enamelled surface. Every frying pan is happiest when it is heated slowly. We recommend low to medium heat for about five minutes before you turn the heat up further. Use plenty of cooking fat as well.

2. Choose the right utensils
To keep the fine surface of the enamel, we recommend using wooden utensils or other tools that are gentle on the pan. That reduces the risk of scratches and extends the life of the pan.

3. Medium heat goes a long way
Carbon steel is known for heating up quickly and holding the heat efficiently, and the same applies here. You rarely need the highest setting. Medium heat is plenty for most dishes and often gives a better result.

4. A hard-wearing enamelled surface
The enamelled frying pan is not a non-stick pan. If you ever find that food sticks, it usually helps to lower the heat and use a little extra cooking fat. Another great advantage of an enamelled pan is that it is very easy to clean.

5. Works for every kind of food
We developed this pan because ordinary carbon steel does not get on as well with acidic ingredients. Thanks to the enamel surface you can now enjoy the heat properties of carbon steel and at the same time simmer a tomato sauce or use lemon and wine without any trouble. The pan works just as well for meat as for fish, vegetables and much more.

• How do you get the best out of the enamelled pan?
