Preparation of cast-iron dishes for use

Cast iron quickly rusts. Therefore, products from it at the enterprise are processed with engine oil. After buying a pans "Biol" it must be thoroughly cleaned.

To do this, perform the following actions:

• Wipe the oil with rags;
• Wash in hot water with a degreaser, wipe;
• Pour salt on the pan and fry it for 20 minutes, stirring;
• A frying pan with deep sides is better for calcining in the oven, as it does not warm up on the stove at full height;
• Pour out the salt and rinse the frying pan with cold water, after cooling it is wiped;
• Heat and lubricate with vegetable oil.

After this procedure, a thin non-stick film forms from the oil under the influence of high temperature. It is washed off with detergents. Therefore, do not be zealous, trying to achieve perfect purity. It only hurts, and the food in the frying pan begins to burn.

If the packaging indicates that this procedure has already been carried out at the factory, then it is not necessary to repeat it.

In frying pans with non-stick coating from Biol, the German brand Greblon is used on a water basis.

Storage and Care

Having bought dishes from cast iron, do not forget that now you constantly need to take care that it does not rust. Therefore, it is necessary to fulfill a number of fairly simple requirements:

• Do not store food in a cast-iron frying pan.
• Wash without using aggressive detergents.
• Do not use abrasives.
• After you have washed the pan, put it on the fire for a couple of minutes to allow the water to evaporate. Then grease with vegetable oil.
• Store the frying pan in a dry place, which is well ventilated.

Frying pan with non-stick coating is washed with a soft sponge or bamboo rags in warm water. You can use liquid detergents. You can not overheat, and if this happens, do not pour cold water on the frying pan. Do not use metal spoons. Food mixed with wooden or silicone spatula.

If there is rust

When you notice that rust has appeared on the bottom of the Biol fry pan, do not panic. With an iron brush, remove the red spots, burn or heat the frying pan and apply a layer of vegetable oil to the bottom.

How to prepare aluminum pans "Biol"? Reviews say that they do not need to be calcined with salt. After all, they do not rust, so lubricate them with machine oil does not make sense. You can lubricate with sunflower oil and warm well. Food on such a frying pan will not burn.

• They can be heated to any temperature.
• To mix food, you can use metal tools.

Pig -iron frying pans Biol with a removable handle made of wood or Bakelite are very popular. A cast thick body allows you to put out the products in a frying pan. Cast iron heats up more slowly than iron. Therefore, food in such a frying pan can be on fire for a long time, without burning.

Reviews positive

Many buyers appreciated the "Biol" frying pan with ceramic coating for the fact that they are evenly heated, they keep the heat for a long time. For a long time nothing burns on them. They are safe, have a comfortable handle. Users note that nothing fits to the frying pan, even in places of scratches from metal tools.

I like the frying pan from the series "Classic" with high sides and a strong handle. It does not deform when used, the bottom remains flat.

Buyers say it is a convenient and good frying pan for everyday use. It is convenient to prepare various traditional dishes. Food does not burn. I like the fact that the handle can be quickly unscrewed if you are going to cook in the oven.

Many like the gentle cast-iron frying pans Biol. The reviews point out that pancakes are convenient to bake on the frying pan of the Optima line. The flanks are low and flat. Therefore, it is convenient to remove pancakes.

In this frying pan you can cook without oil.

Reviews are negative

Some users note that originally Biol ceramic grill pans are good at cooking, it does not burn. But after a while, yellow spots from the fat appear along the edges of the ceramic coating. Getting rid of them is very difficult. Users start using a variety of detergents, including abrasives. As a result, the ceramic coating is removed, and the frying pans become unusable.

But this does not always happen from the use of detergents. There are complaints that the ceramic coating is bubbling simply from use. This applies to the frying pan "Tradition", which is now discontinued, but may be on sale.

Reviews of other buyers say that these stains can be washed off using various folk methods. So, you can try to grease the burnt edges with toothpaste, allow it to dry, and then rinse with a sponge. But toothpaste is an abrasive material. Therefore, if you often use such a tool, then the protective layer will quickly come down.

But this is not only the "Biol" frying. Consumer feedback suggests that many other frying pans with ceramic non-stick coatings do not burn only the first six months after purchase. And the manufacturer hints that the resource of such coverage is not unlimited. It depends on:

• Material of the frying pan;
• Properties of the coating;
• Quality of its application.

Therefore, many have replaced such dishes with cast iron.

There are complaints that the thread of the handle attachment is not threaded in the center. This makes its use insecure.
