I thought of writing this review to make justice to this item and to help other buyers to enjoy it. First of all, if you bought or are thinking of buying this pan, bear in mind that this is pure iron, a metal still unprocessed for cooking use. It will oxidise as soon and you put them in contact with water and leave it to dry by itself. But even if it's covered with rust you can still recover and treat it after a good scrub. This is because It doesn't have the chemical treatments to make it non-stick and ready to use straight out of the counter. But that's why we are buying it, right? That said, the process of treating is very simple and doesn't have to be messy . Here what to do:
1. After unpacking it, give it a good and throughly scrub. Try to remove as much of the waxing coach as possible.
2. Rinse and dry with a kitchen towel and put it on the stove top to dry the metal. When the heating starts, pour a bit oil enough to cover the whole pan. Spread it with paper towel. Soon a strong smell and smoke will start to rise. Quickly wipe the pan with paper towel and remove it from the fire. Keep wiping, the wax will keep coming out. This process shouldn't take more than few minutes as it gets very hot very quickly. Don't forget to wear protective gloves or tea towels. It's burning hot. Give it another wash and perhaps another quick scrub.
3. Repeat process: put it back on the stove, pour oil, remove it it as soon as the smoke starts to rise, wipe the oil off. No need to wash again, but repeat the stove, oil, wiping process until no more wax, smoke or smell comes out. I did it 3 or 4 times. But this doesn't take more than 10 minutes. Now your pan is ready to be seasoned.
4. Cool it down, spread oil all over it and put it in the oven at 200 degrees and don't open the oven until the pan is black. You can play with the temperature. I used the maximum heat for the last 30 minutes. It took me nearly 2 hours, but there will not be more smoke, just a bit of smell, unless you open the oven. When it is done let it cool with the oven closed.
5. After each use, wash it, dry with a towel and place it on the stove top for few minutes, spread some oil when it's hot and wipe it out with paper. Let it cool before putting it away and it's ready to use again. Please check my pictures after the seasoning and after have used, cleaned and quickly reasoned it on the stove for few minutes.
