Our pans are highly conductive, so in most cases, medium will be your new high. We recommend starting with a lower temperature before turning up the heat. With induction, you’ll rarely need to go above medium heat, and we strongly advise against using the boost setting.
NOTE: It's important to always match the size of the burner to the pan – this FAQ shows the ideal burner-to-pan size ratio.
Our Quenched finish is simply real, natural seasoning - it’s not a synthetic coating. This means that it’s very common for the look of your pan to change and develop as you cook. A well-seasoned pan will be dark in colour, though often a bit patchy in reality. Don't worry about how your pan looks - when it comes to iron cookware, what’s important is how it cooks!

Surface blemishes are very normal, even on a brand-new pan! As shown in the below video, a simple wipe-over with some rice bran oil is all it takes to even out the surface.
While our cookware doesn’t have any synthetic, toxic non-stick coatings, you can easily achieve a non-stick, easy-release surface when cooking on iron. The key is a well-seasoned pan, and good heat and fat management!
