Description
The RIESS serving pan is ideal for frying your food and then serving at the table straight away in the pan. Thanks to it’s two practical handles, it can be placed directly on the dining table and used as a serving pan. You can use our serving trays as trivets for the hot serving pans and to present them nicely on the table.
Our family has been producing iron pans since 1550, long before we began manufacturing enamel pans. Our iron pans are made in a cold-forging process, during which a punched out steel sheet disc (round blank) is pressed into a deep-drawing mould under high pressure. A handle is attached to the body of the pan.
Iron pans are very popular among cooks, not only for their rustic appearance but primarily for their excellent frying properties. Thanks to the fast, heat-conducting properties of iron, iron pans are perfect for quick sautéing or giving meat that appetising sear. Fried potatoes and meat can be cooked in the iron pan so that they are particularly crispy. The iron pans are often also used as serving pans and are paired with our trivet or with a round tray that sits underneath the pan.
The pans “work” better and better over time. The reason for this? The porous structure of the pan absorbs the fat and forms a so-called “patina”. This patina has excellent anti-stick properties and also acts as corrosion protection.
When cared for properly, so as to prevent any rust from forming, our RIESS iron pans are a faithful and lifelong companion on your kitchen adventure.
Our serving pan comes in different sizes – ranging from very small to very large. What’s more, the serving pan comes in both enamel and Classic Colour.
Use
As well as being used for its classic purposes of cooking fried potatoes, meat or gnocchi, the iron pan can also be used to prepare any dishes that require a pan.
Tips:
Please note:
The wax layer, which acts as rust protection, must be removed with hot water before first use.
Afterwards, the pan must be “seasoned” so that it can develop a “patina” (= a natural coating which allows you to use less fat or oil when cooking).
This is how to do it:
- Heat enough fat
- Add slices of potato, potato peelings and lots of salt
- Fry for around 15 minutes, turning the potatoes until they become very dark in colour
- Dispose of the burnt potatoes
- Scrub the pan well with kitchen paper
Cleaning:
Never put the pan in the dishwasher after use, instead simply wipe with a tea towel. If there is any heavy incrustation, clean the pan with water, salt and a brush and then leave to dry well on a warm stovetop.
