Care on this site
Match heat to the material: stainless wants a preheat and oil before food; carbon steel and cast iron want seasoning and a dry finish after washing. Avoid thermal shock (hot pan under cold water). Check the maker's care page before dishwasher use — most clad and seasoned pans last longer hand-washed.
