Thumbnail strip scrolls with snap points rather than stacking — the framework has no carousel, and this is why it does not need one.

  1. Wash warm, dry hot

    Hot water and a stiff brush. Put it back on the hob for a minute to drive off the water — this is the whole trick.

  2. Oil thinly

    Half a teaspoon of neutral oil, wiped until the pan looks dry rather than greasy. A thick coat goes sticky.

  3. Cook acidic food freely

    Tomatoes and wine are fine on a seasoned pan. The old advice predates a stable polymerised surface.

If it rusts

Scour it back to bare metal, dry it on the hob, then season three thin coats at 230°C. Rust is a setback, not a funeral.

Heavier than the one it replaced and better for it. Two months in, the polished surface has gone the colour of strong tea and eggs slide off it.

Good pan, but the handle gets hot faster than the description implies. Buy the sleeve at the same time.
