New to Seasoning?

We've put together some simple recipes and cooking methods to help you build your seasoning and keep your pan in top shape!

1. Fried, Roasted, or Sautéed Veggies

One of the easiest ways to build up your pan’s seasoning is by cooking healthy veggies with a dash of oil. Our pans are perfect for stovetop cooking and roasting in the oven for an extra crispy finish.

Recipe idea: Give this tasty, veggie-filled Sweet Potato Gnocchi dish a go!

2. Bake Some Bread: Focaccia, Cornbread, and More!

Our pans are highly conductive, making them an excellent choice for baking bread with crispy crusts that are moist inside and full of flavour.

Recipes like focaccia and cornbread are great because they use a lot of oil or butter, which gets released during baking and helps build up seasoning by coating the pan’s surface.

Recipe Idea: Try this delicious Potato, Rosemary, and Garlic Oil Focaccia.

3. Fry Smash Burgers & Rissoles

Our pans are ideal for searing and grilling burger patties or rissoles. Minced meats like beef, pork, or chicken release fats that coat the pan during cooking and help develop seasoning.

Tip: Want to speed up the cooking process and ensure your burger patties and rissoles are evenly cooked while adding exceptional char, bursting with flavour? Check out our new Protein Press and Grill Pans on Kickstarter!

Recipe idea: Try these delicious Aussie rissoles—they’re easy to make and sure to be a hit with everyone, even the kids!

4. Shallow or Deep Fry

Frying is one of the most effective ways to enhance your seasoning. Foods like tempura veggies, fried chicken, and schnitzels provide a “seasoning bath” for your pan, helping oils polymerize and form a durable layer.

Tips for Frying:

Preheat your pan on low to medium heat, then add oil and let it heat gradually.
Maintain the oil temperature (test by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil—if it browns in 60 seconds, it’s ready).
Use oils with high smoke points like rice bran, canola, vegetable, or sunflower oil.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches for the crispiest results.

5. Finally, Fry Some Steak!

Once you've built up your seasoning with the above methods, it's time to fry, grill, or sear some steaks in your iron pan—which they excel at. Frying steak with a little oil is a great way to continue building your seasoning and add rich flavours to your cooking surface.

Note: When seasoning is new, you may notice patchiness initially after frying steaks as the pan sears/roasts in a primarily stationary position. This is normal! It’s not about how the pan looks—it’s about how it performs. Over time, with regular use, your seasoning will even out and improve.

Mastering non-stick cooking with iron = good heat and fat management.
Our non-toxic cookware is highly conductive. Lower your heat—medium is your new high!
Preheat on low to medium heat to protect the seasoning.
Add oil once the pan is warm, let it heat up, and you’re ready to cook.
Avoid cooking acidic and wet foods like tomatoes or vinegar until your seasoning is more developed. These can break down your seasoning.
