If you place your pan in an oven (some cooks seal meat on a hob, then finish in an oven), it is best not to go above 180º C / 356º F.At home the tin lining should last for years depending on care and frequency of use. As a result we cannot guarantee the life of the lining against harsh or heavy usageThe biggest causes of rapid wear are metal spoons and whisks, so please use a wooden or silicon spoon and silicon whisk.History of tin lined cookware.The practice of tinning ironware to protect it against rust is an ancient one. This may have been the work of the whitesmith. This was done after the article was fabricated. The first production of tinplate was probably in Bohemia, from where the trade spread to Saxony, and was well-established there by the 1660s when Andrew Yarranton and Ambrose Crowle, a Stourbridge blacksmith (not far from Highley, the home of Netherton) visited Dresden to find out how it was made. In Saxony the plates were forged, but when they conducted experiments on their return to England, they tried rolling the iron. This led to the ironmasters Philip Foley and Joshua Newborough erecting a new mill in 1670 in Wolverley . By 1678 they were making frying pans.Today our food grade tin is applied to a cleaned and fluxed coated pan by hand by skilled craftsmen.A couple of handy tips:
-
If you are cooking meat or fish - oil the food, not the pan.
-
Be patient; allow the food to cook before trying to turn it over.
-
Don't fry food straight from the fridge, allow it to come up to room temperature.
The pan bodies are spun by hand, so each one is slightly different. They will not all be as flat as a billiard table.If you do want to keep it as flat as you can, then follow these simple guidelines.
-
Every time you use the pan, heat it SLOWLY to cooking temperature. Be careful, you don't need to use full power.Use a hob the same size as the pan base, small rings WILL warp big pans.
-
Never drop a hot pan into cold water. This will buckle it.
Your pan will develop with use and if cared for, will age beautifully and be a friend for life.
