- The 5.1-inch mini sauce pan is crafted from 100% virgin iron ore, employing a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern DISA casting technology. This ensures durability and reliability in your cooking needs. - The unique casting process results in a pan with natural texture; the inner and outer walls are not polished, showcasing a distinctive finish. Expect some minor air blisters and shallow pits, which are normal and do not affect performance. - No chemical coatings are used. Instead, the pan is treated with a vegetable oil carbonization process to prevent rust. For optimal use, perform pre-use maintenance by washing with detergent, drying, boiling water in the pan for 2 minutes, and then applying a thin layer of oil. - To maintain the pan after use, avoid chemical cleaners. Simply rinse, dry, and apply a layer of oil. If rust appears, repeat the pre-use maintenance steps. With regular use, the pan develops a shiny, smooth surface, enhancing its non-stick properties. - The natural fine particles on the pan's surface reduce food contact, minimizing sticking. The thickened bottom offers excellent heat conduction and storage, ensuring quick heating, less oily smoke, and energy efficiency. - Size: 5.1 inches in diameter, 12 inches long, and 2 inches deep. Weight: 1.7 lbs, with a capacity of 8.8 oz. - Practical applications include making sauces, warming milk, or preparing small portions of soups. Ideal for both home cooks and professional chefs, this mini sauce pan is perfect for those who value quality and performance in their kitchen tools.
