Frequently Asked Questions - sp24 Petromax

How to season my Petromax sp24 pan before first use?

Remove the labels, immerse the pan in hot water (without dish soap) for 5 to 10 minutes, rinse and dry. Pour high-temperature resistant oil to cover the bottom, heat over medium heat, add a teaspoon of salt, increase the heat and stir until dark brown marks appear. Empty, let cool, rinse with hot water, dry, and lightly grease.

Can I use dish soap to clean my forged iron pan?

No, never use dish soap as it destroys the patina (seasoning). A simple rinse with hot water and wiping is sufficient. For stubborn residue, use a brush or sponge without detergent.

How to prevent rust on my Petromax sp24 pan?

Always dry the pan thoroughly after washing, then apply a thin layer of high-temperature resistant cooking oil (or Petromax maintenance paste) with a paper towel. Never leave the pan wet or in a humid environment.

What types of heat sources or hobs can I use with the sp24 pan?

The pan is suitable for all types of hobs (ceramic, induction, gas, electric) as well as open fires (barbecue, campfire). Ensure the contact surface is suitable.

Why should you not heat the pan empty?

Heating the pan empty can damage the metal and warp the pan. Always add a little fat or food before heating.

Can I cook acidic foods (tomatoes, wine) in the sp24 pan?

Avoid very acidic foods as they attack the patina. If this happens, the pan will need to be seasoned again. For acidic dishes, preferably use another pan.

The handle gets very hot: how to handle it safely?

Always wear an oven mitt or kitchen gloves to hold the pan. Never touch the handle with bare hands during or after cooking.

Is my sp24 pan compatible with induction?

Yes, forged iron is compatible with induction. Ensure the cooking zone matches the pan's diameter for even heat distribution.

How much oil should I use for cooking in a forged iron pan?

Initially, use a bit more fat than for a non-stick pan. Over time and use, the pan will darken and require less fat.

Where can I find spare parts or get my Petromax pan repaired?

For any warranty repair (2 years), contact your retailer. For wear parts, Petromax after-sales service can be reached by email ([e-mail]) or phone [phone]).

Thank you for purchasing a product from the Petromax wrought-iron pan series. We hope you will fully enjoy your pan. The more you will use your wrought-iron pan, the more it will provide its best frying features and reach its utmost potential. The pan suits all types of heat sources including open fires and induction cookers. The pan's first-class manufacturing and high-quality iron guarantee an extremely long service life.

Important instructions

Before using the pan for the first time, read the following information carefully. Keep this document for future reference.

Safety instructions

• The pan's handle gets very hot. Always use potholders or oven gloves when moving the pan.
• To avoid traces of use on your ceramic hob, lift the pan when moving it. Follow the instructions for the (ceramic) cooker provided by the manufacturer and avoid moving your pots and pans on the (ceramic) hob's surface.

Before the first use

1. Remove any stickers or adhesive residues and the Petromax protective film from the handle.
2. Soak the pan in hot water with detergent for 5 to 10 minutes to remove the colourless anti-corrosion protection. Do not use dish soap! Then, wash it with a dishwashing brush or a sponge. Rinse the protection residues and dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
3. Now, your pan can be seasoned: Fill the bottom of the pan with cooking oil. Slowly heat up the pan over medium heat, so that the iron has enough time to dilate. Add a teaspoon of salt.
4. Increase the heat to the highest level and stir from time to time with a wooden spoon or spatula. After some time, the surface of the pan turns brown. This is the patina we want.
5. Empty the pan and let it cool down. Rinse the pan with hot water and remove frying residues. Dry it with a clean cloth. Your pan is now seasoned and ready to use.

After each use, clean your pan with some kitchen paper or rinse it with hot water. Then, dry the pan with a clean cloth and grease it with some neutral oil or with the Petromax Care and Seasoning Conditioner. Never use olive oil for it has a lower smoke point and burns out too quickly.

Operating and maintenance instructions

• Make sure that the size of the cooker's hob is equal to or larger than the pan size. Otherwise, heat is unevenly distributed across the pan's bottom.
• Slowly heat the pan. This allows the pan's material to dilate.
• Never heat an empty pan.
• For the first few uses, use more cooking oil than usual. After several uses, the patina becomes thicker resulting in a much darker brown and a reduced need for cooking oil.
• Never clean your pan in an automatic dishwasher or with dish soap. Clean it with some kitchen paper or hot water, then dry it with a clean cloth and grease it with some neutral oil or vegetable fat.
• Avoid any contact with acidic food (e.g. wine or tomatoes). Otherwise, the pan must be seasoned again.
