Few min on 3/10 setting before using. ## Preventative Care - Don’t dish wash - Easy in the scrubbing while cleaning - Wipe with thin layer of oil before hanging the pan ## Seasoning I season with Linseed oil and German Brat Oil. Both seem to work and sport higher smoke points the things like olive oil. I make sure pan is clean, start the heat, and pour in some oil coating the pan. Once everything is nice and hot, I pour out extra oil, and rub the pan clean with wad of paper towel, taking care not to burn my fingers.

In that case, I wash well with soap and use steel wool, soak in vinegar, and one more time around with the steel wool.
