Please read this user manual carefully before using the product for the first

Fire Skillet is given to another person, this user manual must also be given
to that person.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
You can use the Fire Skillet on conventional hotplates, on a gas stove, in an
oven, as well as in the open air over a campfire or on a suitable grill.
The cast iron, which optimally transfers and stores heat, can be used
immediately.
Thanks to the pre-seasoned surface it is easy to care for.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution! The Fire Skillet can become very hot. Thus children should not be allowed near the Fire Skillet. Protect your hands with heat-resistant gloves or a cloth when you touch the hot Fire Skillet.
- Do not pour cold liquids (such as water) onto the cast-iron parts of the hot Fire Skillet, for the cast iron can crack or be otherwise damaged.
- Never use dishwashing liquid or soap to clean the Fire Skillet.
- Do not let the Fire Skillet fall onto a hard surface, because cast iron is a brittle material that can crack.
- Caution on sensitive surfaces! Follow the instructions for use provided by your oven manufacturer and avoid sliding cast-iron cookware back and forth on the stove top. Lift your Fire Skillet before moving it on the stove top! You also reduce the risk of scrat- ches by wiping the surface and the base of the pan with a clean, lint-free cloth (e.g. made of microfibre) before cooking. In principle you can use the Fire Skillet on all types of stoves.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Thoroughly clean the Fire Skillet with hot water before using it for the first time. Thanks to the pre-seasoned surface you can immediately use your sturdy Petromax Fire Skillet without seasoning it first. The first few times you use the skillet, do not cook any acidic food, for it can damage the patina, the protective layer of the Fire Skillet.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE AND STORAGE
As long as you take care of your Fire Skillet correctly, it should last for generations. Thus you must follow a few important basic rules.
-
Let the Fire Skillet completely cool down before cleaning it thoroughly with warm water. Never use dishwashing liquid or soap to clean the Fire Skillet. It can damage or even ruin the patina.
-
Use a commercially available dishwashing brush or a sponge to clean the Fire Skillet.
-
Thoroughly dry up the Fire Skillet after cleaning it.
-
Apply a thin layer of fat on the cast-iron parts. Use a neutral oil, vegetable fat or the Petromax Care and Seasoning Conditioner.
Do not use olive oil for it has a lower smoke point and burns out to quickly. Then store the skillet in a dry place. The Fire Skillet is not dishwasher- safe. -
Never put away the Fire Skillet when it is wet and untreated.
SEASONING
The patina (the protective layer of the Fire Skillet) must be renewed when it
is affected. It can happen, for instance, that your Fire Skillet starts to
rust here and there, because it was not stored correctly. In that case,
proceed as follows.
-
Remove the rust with a wire brush or a metallic sponge. Then clean the Fire Skillet with warm water, dishwashing liquid and a dishwashing brush or a sponge. Dry it thoroughly up.
-
Coat the whole skillet (inner and outer surfaces) with neutral oil, vegetable fat or the Petromax Care and Seasoning Conditioner.
-
Then place the Fire Skillet in a preheated oven at a temperature of approx. 180 °C (356 °F). Let it there for 1 to 2 hours and then switch off the oven. Half-open the oven and let the Fire Skillet cool down.
Caution! Burning the layer of fat can produce smoke. Therefore we recommend doing the seasoning outside, for instance on an open fire or on a grill. -
Grease all the parts again once they have cooled down. Your skillet is now seasoned.
