After the seasoned, the cast iron grill pan can be used.

When using cast iron grill pan, it is necessary to pay attention to the temperature. Cast iron grill pan can withstand high temperatures, but if the temperature is too high, it can cause food to burn or scorch. Therefore, it is necessary to set the different temperatures according to the different food. Generally speaking, meat can be roasted at high temperatures, while vegetables and bread need to be cooked at a lower temperature.

In addition, we need to pay attention to cleanliness. To clean the grill pan with warm water and dishwashing detergent, then dry with a cloth. If there are any stubborn stains can be cleaned with a sponge and salt, then rinsed clean with warm water.
