FAQ
What is different about the Quenched Solidteknics pans?
It's all about the level of work that goes in before you can get cooking. Our original Satin pans come very lightly pre-seasoned, ready for you to build up a beautiful, natural non-stick surface yourself at home through oven seasoning.
With Quenched pans, the oven seasoning part is already done so you can get cooking straight away. You might want to give your Quenched pan a stove-top season before cooking for extra non-stick, but it’s totally fine to let it build up naturally over time as you cook!
A Quenched pan is basically sandblasted, heated to a precise temperature, and then quickly dropped in a chilled tank of rice bran oil to instantly create a strong seasoning foundation. It’s not coated with anything synthetic - just completely natural oil-based seasoning, sped up. As with any natural seasoning there can be colour variation, but your pan will darken and change colour over time anyway.
How do I season a Satin pan from scratch?
Seasoning a Satin pan involves first buffing a very thin layer of oil over the entire surface of the pan and baking it in your oven for 2-3 hours on maximum heat. Once out and fully cooled, you’ll need to do 2-3 rounds of stovetop seasoning, which means lightly buffing oil onto the cooking surface over a high heat, and then letting it cool.
There’s no magic number, but the more times you season the more non-stick your pan will be. Read through our easy Solidteknics care guide here and you can’t go far wrong, and this quick video guide is a helpful reference.

What utensils can I use?
Unlike synthetically coated non-stick cookware, you can use any utensils you like with a Solidteknics pan including metal. The seasoning can sometimes be scratched, but will reseason naturally as you continue cooking with oil.
Will it fit in my oven?
The classic Solidteknics frying pans will fit snugly in most conventional ovens. It can be worth measuring if you're unsure, especially for the larger pans such as the 35cm All-In-One.
What’s the difference between wrought iron and cast iron pans?
Wrought iron is iron that has been heated and then worked into shape with tools, whereas cast iron is melted and poured into a mould. You can therefore achieve a much thinner design with wrought iron whilst retaining strength, which is how Solidteknics pans can be much lighter than traditional cast iron pans.
How do I stop an iron pan rusting?
Any iron pan can develop rust spots if left damp for an extended period of time. Your pan will never go rusty as long as it’s looked after properly, which means making sure it is fully dry before putting it away. Popping it back on the stove for 30 seconds after washing can help ensure there is no lingering dampness.
