Before using your tin for the first time, rinse it with hot water only (no detergent). Dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth, then apply a very light coat of vegetable oil (rapeseed oil works well) or vegetable fat. Place the tin in an oven preheated to 200°C for about an hour to create a protective coating that prevents sticking. Before each use, lightly grease with vegetable oil or margarine.
After baking, if needed, wash with hot water (no detergent), dry thoroughly, then apply a thin layer of oil and store in a dry place. For best results, buff the tin with a paper towel or cloth to leave a light oily film before storing.
Avoid leaving baked goods to cool in the tin, as trapped moisture can lead to rust.
Never wash the tin in the dishwasher.
The tin’s appearance will darken and patina over time, giving it character without affecting its baking performance. Should a light layer of oxidation appear, scrub it gently with a soft brush or cloth, re-season, and continue baking.
