How do I season my Sardel Carbon Steel Skillet for the first time?

To season, coat the skillet lightly with oil and heat it over medium heat until the oil starts to smoke. Allow it to cool, then wipe away any excess oil. This method gives birth to a naturally slick coating that gets even better the more you cook with it.

Can I use metal utensils with my carbon steel skillet?

While carbon steel is durable, it's best to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to maintain the integrity of the skillet’s seasoned surface and avoid scratches.

Is the Sardel Carbon Steel Skillet oven-safe?

The skillet can handle the heat of an oven, so you can use it for pan roasting too. However, always check the maximum safe temperature and handle material for specific guidelines.

How do I clean my carbon steel skillet after use?

Let the skillet cool, then wash it by hand with warm water. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove food particles. Avoid using soap and harsh detergents, as they can strip the seasoning. Dry it thoroughly after washing.

What's the game plan when rust decides to crash the party on my skillet?

If rust appears, scrub the rusted area with a mild abrasive, like salt and a little oil, then rinse and re-season the skillet. Keeping your skillet in good shape and storing it correctly will keep rust at bay.

Can I cook acidic foods in my carbon steel skillet?

It's best to avoid cooking highly acidic foods (like tomatoes or citrus) in a newly seasoned carbon steel skillet, as they can break down the seasoning. However, once the skillet is well-seasoned, it becomes more resilient to acidity.

What's the best way to keep my skillet non-stick?
