Seasoning Instructions Seasoning your Kadai creates a protective patina that helps provide a smooth, non-stick surface while infusing flavor into your dishes. The patina also helps prevent corrosion and rust, and will become thicker and heavier with each use. * Please note, the Kadais are coated in a protective factory oil to prevent rusting during transit. This should be washed off once received.* 1. Clean off protective factory oil. 2. Heat kadai on stovetop over high heat. Tilt pan to heat all sides. **Smoke may be released, and the pan's color will change when exposed to heat. 3. Allow pan to cool, then coat inside and outside o the pan in a thin layer of vegetable oil. 4. Return pan to the burner over medium-high heat. Tilt the pan until the oil stops releasing smoke on all sides. The pan should have a matte finish and dark hue. 5. Rinse with hot water, wipe dry, and heat on stove over high heat to evaporate remaining water. Dimensions and Care 16'' handle to handle x 12'' across x 5.7'' high.
