How do you season a hard anodised frying pan?
You don't season a hard anodized frying pan.
Here's why:
* Hard Anodizing is a protective layer: Hard anodizing creates a thick, durable, and non-reactive layer on the aluminum surface. This layer is already seasoned and doesn't need any additional treatment.
* Seasoning is for cast iron: Seasoning is typically done with cast iron cookware to create a non-stick surface by building up a layer of polymerized oil. This process is not necessary for hard anodized cookware.
What you should do instead:
1. Wash your pan: Simply wash the pan with hot soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
2. Oil the pan lightly: Apply a thin layer of oil to the pan before cooking to prevent sticking.
3. Heat the pan evenly: Allow the pan to heat up evenly before adding food to prevent scorching.
Things to avoid with hard anodized cookware:
* High heat: Avoid using high heat as it can damage the anodizing layer.
* Abrasive cleaners: Don't use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
* Metal utensils: Use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to avoid scratching the pan.
By following these tips, you can enjoy the benefits of your hard anodized frying pan for years to come.
