YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS!
Warning: The patina has an important protective function! Therefore, do
not use strongly acidic foods in your loaf pan, because these are aggressive
media that destroy the patina. Do not leave the loaf pan empty on a
hotplate. And never pour cold water on the hot material, as it could
break the cast iron.
Now let’s give your loaf pan a proper patina!
Your rectangular loaf pan is pre-oiled (pre-seasoned). To get the most out
of your cast-iron mold, as well as to make it antis tick and to protect it
from rust, burning in is enormously important.
Here’s how you do it:
- Clean your loaf pan with hot water and mild detergent.
- Thoroughly remove grease and production residues with a soft sponge.
- Rinse thoroughly with hot water and wipe it dry.
- Let dry in a closed grill or oven at low heat for 20 minutes.
- Brush carefully with a thin layer of refined cooking oil.
TIP: Neutral sunflower or rapeseed oil are good for baking.
-
Let the oil soak in for 10 minutes. Then remove surplus fat with a cotton cloth.
-
ON THE GRILL:
Turn the grill on to the highest temperature (infrared ceramic burners on the smallest flame). Place your loaf pan upside down (with the bottom facing up) with the lid on the grill. -
IN THE OVEN:
Place the cast-iron mold upside down (with the bottom facing up) and the lid on the oven grate. Place a baking pan below it to catch any oil that drips down. Turn on the oven with top and bottom heat to 250 °C. -
Burn-in your loaf pan and lid for 45 minutes.
-
Turn off the grill or oven and let the loaf pan cool completely.
-
For an extra robust patina, repeat the steps from oiling to burning in and cooling off 1-2 times.
cleaning and maintenance
With the exception of its initial cleaning when burning in, you should NEVER use detergent when cleaning your loaf pan. You can simply remove any remaining food with a wooden spoon or plastic scraper and then rinse the cast-iron mold with hot water.
After cleaning, you should thoroughly dry your loaf pan and then rub it down with suitable oil (see above), allowing the protective patina to burn in again the next time it’s heated.
