Description
Steel wool strips seasoning. A sponge gives up. Chainmail sits exactly between the two: the rings are hard enough to shear off carbonised food and soft enough that a polymerised film shrugs them off.
Ours is 316 marine-grade stainless, 6 in square, 4 mm rings. It will not rust in a wet sink and it will outlast the pan it came with, which is saying something.
Rinse it under hot water after use and hang it up. That is the entire care routine.
Four habits and it will outlive you
- Wash hot, dry hotter. Hot water, a stiff brush, no soaking. Put it back on the burner for ninety seconds until the last of the water steams off.
- One fingertip of oil. While it is still warm, wipe a thin film of neutral oil across the cooking face with a paper towel, then buff it until it looks dry.
- Cook fat early. The first ten cooks should be bacon, potatoes, cornbread — anything that lays another layer down.
- Rust is not the end. Steel wool, hot water, dry, three coats of flax at 500 °F. It comes back every time.
Send any of our pieces back to the workshop and we will strip and re-season it free, forever. Details on the care page.
