Oxidation marks appear on my iron pan. What should I do?
We advise you to scrub your pan with an abrasive sponge, some washing up liquid and warm water. Once the marks are removed, you should proceed to season the utensil again: pour 1mm of oil, heat it until it steams, empty the oil and wipe your pan with a kitchen paper. To avoid oxidation, we recommend you to slightly grease the surfaces of your iron pan after each use, and to tidy it up in a dry place.
Mineral B Element pans are covered with beeswax. Does it definitively coat the utensils?
We coat Mineral B Element pans with beeswax to protect them from oxidation during their shipping and their storage.
This protection also facilitates the seasoning and improves pan non-stick properties.
Beeswax coating is not permanent and will disappear when the pan is washed previously to the first use.
It is important to carefully remove the outer beeswax layer to avoid staining your cooktop.
