Das Einbrennen von Eisenpfannen ist ein essenzieller Prozess, bei dem durch Erhitzen mit Fett oder Öl eine schützende Patina entsteht. Diese Patina schützt die Gusseisenpfanne vor Rost und fungiert gleichzeitig als
natürliche Antihaftbeschichtung, die chemische Beschichtungen überflüssig macht.

Die durch das Einbrennen entstehende Patina wird mit jeder Nutzung der Gusseisenpfanne stärker, wodurch sich die Kocheigenschaften kontinuierlich verbessern. Das Anbraten von Speisen gelingt immer leichter, und die Pfanneentwickelt ihre charakteristischen Eigenschaften erst richtig.

Viele Petromax Gusseisenpfannen sind bereits ab Werk eingebrannt und sofort einsatzbereit. Ein regelmäßiges Nachbrennen bei ersten Anzeichen von Abnutzung der Patina hilft, die Lebensdauer zu verlängern und Rostbildung zu verhindern. Dies ist besonders wichtig, wenn die Pfanne unter feuchten
Outdoor-Bedingungen verwendet wird.

Für eine ausführliche Anleitung empfehlen wir unseren Ratgeber zum Gusseisenpfanne einbrennen.

Die korrekte Reinigung einer Gusseisenpfanne erfolgt idealerweise direkt nach dem Gebrauch mit heißem Wasser und einer steifen Bürste. Dabei sollte auf aggressive Reinigungsmittel und Spülmittel verzichtet werden, um die wertvolle Patina nicht zu beschädigen. Die natürliche Schutzschicht ist das Geheimnis der Antihafteigenschaften.

Hartnäckige Essensreste können durch kurzes Erhitzen mit etwas warmem Wasser in der Pfanne gelöst werden. Alternativ helfen spezielle Reinigungstools wie der Petromax Ringreiniger oder der Schaber für Feuertöpfe und -pfannen, der auch mit Rillen passgenau für die gusseiserne Grillpfanne erhältlich ist.

Anschließend ist die Gusseisenpfanne gründlich zu trocknen und mit der Petromax Pflegepaste für Guss- und Schmiedeeisen nachzufetten, um Rostbildung zu verhindern. Diese spezielle Pflegepaste ist optimal auf die
Bedürfnisse von Gusseisen abgestimmt.

Sollte doch einmal Rost entstehen, kann dieser mit Stahlwolle oder Salz entfernt werden. Danach muss die Pfanne erneut eingebrannt werden, um die Schutzschicht wiederherzustellen und Rostbildung zu verhindern.
