How do I clean Carbon Nonstick?Updated 3 months ago

Unlike traditional carbon steel cookware, Carbon Nonstick has no fussy cleaning rules. You can use any type of soap and sponge (just don’t put it in the dishwasher). And because of the nitriding process, this pan is highly resistant to rust. If you’d like to let the pan soak in the sink, go ahead—we won’t judge. You can allow the pan to air dry (or towel dry) before storing.

All that said, the less you soap up the pan, the faster it will season and become more nonstick. For best results, we recommend scraping out any food debris left behind with a pan scraper once the pan is cool enough to handle. After that, you may find that the pan just needs a wipe down with a towel. That’s ideal: you’re essentially helping the pan season itself.

If the pan is particularly dirty, run the pan under warm water before wiping it down. And by all means use soap if you’d like. Regardless, over time the seasoning will get stronger and the pan will become even more nonstick.
