How to use

Initial Seasoning — Handwash the pan with hot soapy water to remove the beeswax. Dry it thoroughly. Heat the pan on medium-high heat and apply a thin layer of high smoke point oil (like grapeseed or canola) to all surfaces. Heat for 10 minutes until smoky, then cool and reheat for 2 minutes.
Cooking — For best results, preheat the pan on medium heat before adding a small amount of oil or butter. Add your batter or food. The seasoned surface will help prevent sticking. Use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the seasoning.
Cleaning and Maintenance — After cooking, handwash the pan with hot water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents. Dry immediately and thoroughly. Apply a very thin layer of oil to the cooking surface before storing to prevent rust and maintain the seasoning.
