Solidteknics pans are made to last for generations — but a little care makes all the difference. Proper seasoning, gentle cleaning and regular use will build a natural non stick surface that improves every time you cook. These pans are designed to get better, not worse, with age.
🔥 2. The Art of Seasoning
Seasoning is what gives your pan its strength and flavour. Each Solidteknics pan is pre seasoned with rice bran oil, but you can easily refresh or build layers at home.
To season your pan:
Warm it gently and wipe with a thin layer of rice bran or grapeseed oil.
Heat in the oven or over a low flame until the surface darkens slightly.
Let it cool, then wipe clean — repeat every few months for a lasting finish.
Tip: Avoid olive oil for seasoning, as it can leave sticky residues.
For stubborn bits, boil a little water in the pan, then scrub gently.
Always dry thoroughly and add a drop of oil before storing.
These pans are rust resistant, but they love attention — especially after cooking over fire or in damp conditions.
🍳 4. Everyday Versatility
Well seasoned pans are tough enough for any setting — kitchen or campfire. Whether you are cooking breakfast on the hob or searing steak over embers, a well cared for Solidteknics pan performs beautifully.
Best heat sources:
Kitchen: gas, induction or electric hobs
Outdoor: Asado grill, fire pit, pizza oven
Hybrid cooking: hob to oven, oven to table
🥘 5. Three Simple Recipes to Build and Maintain Seasoning
Pan Roasted Vegetables with Garlic Oil
Best pan: 22 cm Iron Sauteuse
Heat source: oven or Asado grill
Roast peppers, courgettes and onions in a thin coat of oil until golden — a delicious way to refresh your seasoning.
Flatbread Cooked Over Coals
Best pan: 24 cm Crêpe and Griddle Pan
Heat source: BBQ or open fire
Mix flour, yoghurt and salt, roll thin and cook directly on a hot pan — smoky, soft and lightly charred.
Flame Grilled Ribeye with Rosemary Butter
Best pan: 30 cm Iron Skillet
Heat source: direct flame or fire pit
Sear over high heat for 90 seconds each side, then rest. The fat seasons the pan naturally while giving deep caramelised flavour.
✨ Bringing It All Together
