التدفئة والطبخ

• التسخين المسبق: Always preheat your STAUB fry pan gradually over low to medium heat. Cast iron retains heat exceptionally well, so high heat is rarely necessary and can lead to scorching.
• الزيت/الدهون: Add a small amount of cooking oil or fat to the pan before adding food. This aids in food release and enhances browning.
• أواني: Use wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils to protect the enameled surface. Avoid metal utensils, which can scratch or chip the enamel.
• توزيع الحرارة بشكل متساوي: The cast iron construction ensures steady and even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface, preventing hot spots.
• استخدام الفرن: The pan is oven safe up to 900°F (482°C), allowing for seamless transitions from stovetop to oven for finishing dishes.

الصيانة والعناية

• تبريد: Always allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Submerging a hot cast iron pan in cold water can cause thermal shock, potentially leading to cracking or warping.
• غسل اليدين (مستحسن): For best results and to preserve the enamel finish, hand wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush.
• استخدام غسالة الصحون: While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use is not recommended as it can dull the enamel finish over time.
• بقايا الطعام العنيدة: For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm water and let it soak for 15-20 minutes. Gently scrape with a wooden or silicone spatula. For very stubborn residue, boil water in the pan for a few minutes, then scrape.
• تجفيف: Dry the pan thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent water spots and potential rust on any exposed cast iron (e.g., rim).
• تخزين: Store the pan in a dry place. If stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pans to prevent scratching.

استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها

• التصاق الطعام: Ensure the pan is properly preheated over medium-low heat and sufficient oil or fat is used. The enameled surface is not inherently non-stick like PTFE coatings, so proper heat and fat are crucial.
• Scratches/Chips: Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive cleaners. Handle with care to prevent dropping or banging the pan. Minor cosmetic scratches do not typically affect performance.
• Dull Enamel: This can occur with frequent dishwasher use. Hand washing and occasional light oiling can help maintain the luster.
• الصدأ: While enameled cast iron is largely rust-resistant, any exposed cast iron (e.g., rim) can rust if not dried properly. If rust appears, scrub with a stiff brush and a small amount of oil, then wipe clean.
