Firebox Fry Pan Seasoning Instructions. Works For Cast Iron Pans As Well

[@DamonBates]

I got the large and the small kit last week, seasoned them this weekend as instructed and made some eggs in them (how could I not after watching Steve do it 100X!) and they worked perfectly cant wait to use them in the wild!

[@fireboxstove]

Nice! I'm liking my sets more and more with use. So far they just seem to get better and better 👍😎

[@wllcgmail1751]

I received my stoves yesterday they are so beautiful the pictures don’t do them justice! The packaging and presentation of the stoves are over the top. Thank you cannot wait to start using them.

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you, we appreciate the kind words. I am glad you received your items and can start using them!

[@Socalnik66]

I also just received my FIrebox frypan yesterday. I was impressed by how sturdy the pan feels and its looks. Also ordered the short and the long handle. Once I get use to car camp cooking, I’ll order your FIrebox wood stove. You now have a new fan of your products. Thanks.

[@scottl5028]

My review Having watched and read about this cook kit I decided I needed one. Have owned the 10" frying pan cowboy plate and thinner plate for about 3 wks. Followed the instructions and tried an egg..(stuck) Seasoned it another 15 times on the hob..set the fire alarm off twice lol. Now been using it near everyday indoors .. couple of times outside. Works great . Not as non stick as teflon but who wants that nowadays. Used the pan to cook over 15 dishes and love it..can even put it in the oven. Would of liked the bag , but it's so expensive her in the UK.. Would also like the pizza stone but that isn't available also here.. So stick with it guys it will become non stick in time..the bottom inside becomes near black in colour.. I'm happy with my purchase. cost £72 for the 3 pans . Thank you Steve 👍🏽

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

Seasoned my small kit 5 times over in my oven, both the frying pan and the dutch lid. Worked great. I have always used some kind of lid over my frying pans when preparing a steak outdoors, as I like it well done and also like to conserve fuel when using a alcohol burner, liquid fuel- or canister stove. Been using a tin plate for that. This kit provides more room under the dutch lid, so I can add more vegetables and stuff I'd like to just simmer on top of the steak when it is close to done. Using the dutch lid also help conserving fuel. Love it! Btw; I only used olive oil and coconut oil (alternated) for the seasoning, no spray.

[@fireboxstove]

Nice! Good work!

Very, very happy with my 10” set. I followed seasoning instructions very carefully with just normal vegetable oil. Next morning I got my sunny side up skating on the pan! Wife did complained tho about the smells and energy bill for hours of seasoning in the oven at 250c. Doesn’t feels like the need to use a non stick spray at all, but I will see how it’s goes after keep using more. Cheers.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but the Camp Plate, Cowboy Plate, and Frypan are all the same hard anodized aluminum, right? Are these seasoning steps recommended for all of them? Just got my Kickstarter order today! Was bummed I didn’t find a Firebox sticker, but was pumped to find a Firebox patch! Bonus! Super excited to try out my new gear! Thanks for creating such high quality products!

[@fireboxstove]

Not a silly question at all. Yes they are all hard anodized. You only need to season them if you plan on cooking in them. You can cook in the pie tins but most people don't, they will just use it for a lid to bake in. I am glad you got the patch! Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate that. I hope you have many great times and memories with the gear. Cheers!

[@wthisahandlefor]

The best way to keep food from sticking and simultaneously develop a good seasoning, is to heat the pan dry until it is hot, then add *cold* oil to the hot pan. This works because the pores of the metal open when the pan is hot and empty, then, when the cold oil hits it, the pores contract and grab the oil, this fills the pores up with oil making a smooth seasoned surface and making it non stick. The hot pores of the pan contracting around the cold oil is the exact same reason food sticks, the expanded pores contract when in contact with cold food, thus grabbing the food and making it stick. This effect happens less when the pores are already filled with oil. An additional thing to do is season the oil with salt before placing the food in there, the salt acts like ball bearings, reducing sticking and making everything taste good, win win. Adding cold oil, to a cold pan then heating them both together is less effective at preventing sticking because the pores of the metal have not contracted around the oil, so when you add cold food, the pores contract and grab the food even with oil in the mix.

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for the comment, that is great!

[@user-hd2gu9gr8b]

I also notice that heating the pan up, removing from heat and adding butter till its melted (not burning) helps as well. Once back on the heat I believe the water in the butter creates a temporary layer of hot gas for eggs not to stick until they quickly set.

[@Davina_-_XD]

Hello. I am seasoning my new pan for the first time. Do I put oil just on the inside or on the outside/bottom also? Thank you so much. I love my Firebox stove.

[@fireboxstove]

You only need to season the inside. Thank you for your support!! 😁

[@Davina_-_XD]

@@fireboxstove Thank you for responding! I just seasoned them both, and there are some spots in the pans that are like dark little bubbles. I used some Pam spray for the lecithin and avocado oil. I must have done something wrong. Maybe it's because my oven goes a little above 500°and I had to adjust the temp. I'm not worried though and am hoping it will clear up as I use it and season it again. Firebox is the best! Can hardly wait to use the billy pot oven.

Good instructions on seasoning pans. I get in trouble with my wife though when I bring the heat up to smoke. She's not allowed near my cast iron though.

[@fireboxstove]

LOL! Thanks Dave!

[@RatdogDRB]

I like the notion of being able to use/treat it like I do my cast iron, but, with the weight savings for hauling it around out of doors. For stainless steel, get it good and hot, rub some coconut oil/wipe off (a few times). When hot, a drop of water begins to dance on the surface like mercury does on a smooth surface.

[@fireboxstove]

Thanks!

[@PersonalJourney79]

I just bought your large pan. I wish you had made a few more videos with this pan. Mostly you use the GSI non stick pan.

[@fireboxstove]

That's because you're watching videos from before I had my new pans. I haven't used no stick pans since I've had these.

[@zero-ol2nt]

Hey Steve finished my initial seasoning in the oven and it turned out great. Now just got to have some cooking time with it. Once you started cooking with yoursb about how long did it take yours to become non stick?

That is really hard to say exactly on a time frame. We are glad that you have the seasoning done and it worked great. Getting out and using it will make it better and better.

Did you season the deep and shallow pan as well?

You can if you plan to cook out of them but it is not necessary if you are not planning on it.

[@briggsbughouses6291]

I followed the instructions to season my new 10" firebox pans. The pans now have a very mottled coating, which feels slightly rubbery. Should I just continue using the pans with the non stick cooking spray?

[@fireboxstove]

If the finish is sticky you need a hotter temperature. Either way using no stick spray for a while will probably be best.

Hey Steve. Thanks for all these amazing videos and products. I have one question. You said it's a two step process. One in the oven and two seasoning as you cook. What's the oven process? I didn't know I had to season it in the oven and I just bought a cook kit and don't want to use it until I know how I am supposed to care for it. Please can you advise? Thanks

[@fireboxstove]

When I say two step process what I mean is that you need to go through the process of applying light coats of oil then cooking that oil to a temperature which causes polymerization then repeat several times the second part of the process is actually using your pan which is continually building the seasoning layer 👍😎 the pans also come with detailed instructions.

[@billyblastoff7027]

Steve great video I seasoned my firebox pan in the oven with canola oil should I season the pan ever time I use it or after I finish cooking thanks

[@fireboxstove]

Simply using it will be adding to the seasoning but wiping it out and heating it up after use will season it that much more.

[@fireboxstove]

Also, you'll notice these updated instructions call for a much higher temperature. I've found that makes a very big difference in the hardness of yours seasoning layer

If you get it just a little hotter the old seasoning will flake off. You can also use vinegar to soften the old seasoning. Personally I would just leave it how it is and keep seasoning it and keep using it. Everything will eventually work itself out.

Just picked up my order with the small skillet. New to seasoning. Doing it now as the instructions from Firebox that came along. 1. Handwash cleaned with soap and lukewarm water. 2. Dried it with soft towel. 3. Put it 30 minutes on 250 C in oven 4. Went to supermarket to buy canola oil (I had only walnut oil, sunflower and extra virgin olive oil and canola seemed better after some research). 5. Made the layer with canola oil and dried it with paper 6. Skillet is upside down in the oven now for 1 hr on 250 C (max for my microwave oven) 7. Waiting now.. Edit: 8. Took it out and let it cool down. 9. Put the oil again and put the skillet on my stove untill I saw the smoke. Repeated this quite a few times. 10. Decided to throw an egg in. Big mistake. It's a skillet and not my regular frying pan. Not enough oil and the pan was way to hot so it stickes awfully and thought I messed up my new skillet. Cleaned it. 11. Tried again. Failed again another egg. 12. More oil. Less heat. Now it went fine! Not sure if what I did was right but I'm ready to use it on my next adventure.

What is the best course to get back on track in your opinion? The baked on canola is no longer visible on the bottom of the pan but nearly impossible to remove along the sides.

It's a little like a fry pan on the stove needs to have food in it to regulate its temperature. If you keep food on it you should be good. If the temperature is hot enough to warp the grill plate you will definitely be burning your food.

What material is that pan? I’m guessing there isnt a nonstick coating on it since youre talking about seasoning?

Correct, it is hard anodized aluminum 👍

Firebox Stove how does that material stand with metal utensils or simply lasting over time? Any scratches or wear and tear over time? Also how does it compare to stainless steel? I like stainless frying pan for its durability, but it sticks like crazy and is hard to clean without a lot of water which I hate. From the video, it seems like the pan seasons pretty well and doesn’t stick a lot, but I’m curious about its durability over time.

Great product and presentation, Steve! What size skillet would work best for the firebox nano stove?

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. The small one is a 8" and works great with it but the large 10" works as well. It depends on the amount of people you are cooking for. I would say the 8" Frying Pan is for 1-2 people and no more than that. I hope that helps.

Thank you for watching!

Just recently I discovered that the thing with the little slidey flap on it was not meant to be used all the time. Game changer...apologies to all the peeps that had to wait much longer than they needed to...;)

[@zero-ol2nt]

So with these pans after you are done cooking do you have to bring your heat up to smoke point every time you cook with it? Also how long would you reccomend using the non stick spray? I know you said until seasoning has finish developing but how do you know when that is exactly? Thanks steve!

[@fireboxstove]

You don't have to bring it up to a smoke point every time, doing that just polymerizes more oil. Not doing just doesn't do that, it won't hurt anything though. Use the no-stick spray until you don't feel like you need it anymore. Hope that helps, thank you!

Wondering what alcohol are you using in the stove for this demo?

[@fireboxstove]

I use denatured alcohol. Thanks!

[@beartug]

Got the kit yesterday. Followed the instructions, but end result was blotches of almost rust colored spots. I sent a msg. To fireboxstove asking for suggestions. Used virgin olive oil btw

[@fireboxstove]

If the color was fairly light your temperature is not hot enough. Being blotchy means you're leaving too much oil on the pan. Not to worry you can't ruin a seasoning job just keep doing it. I do recommend using multiple kinds of oils. You'll notice that each kind of oil you use behaves just a little bit differently. Same rule of thumb for all oils wipe it on then wipe it back off. Many very thin layers is better than less thicker layers. Increase the heat until the color becomes quite dark not quite black. I would recommend using a toaster oven and you can stack up your pans. I stack all my pans up all with a light coat of oil and put them in the toaster oven after each trip👍

[@beartug]

@@fireboxstove thanks Toaster oven is not an option. With oven I kept it at 500, so I don't think it was a matter of temperature. I will retry using different oil and (less of it) will also reduce bake time to about 30 minute. I assume that ultimately, the pan should be black in color after fully seasoned? Thanks again for your support

[@fireboxstove]

You bet. If you have any troubles you can also email us at [e-mail] and we can send you more tips and tricks there. Take care!

[@xutsider]

Don't you have a non stick version then?

[@fireboxstove]

Yes we do carry a non-stick Pinnacle Frying Pan here: www.fireboxstove.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=pinnacle. Thanks!

[@twistedimaginationballoons9641]

Pans upside down in oven like cast iron?

[@fireboxstove]

Yes if you have enough oil that it will drip then you will need to turn it upside down but if not then you are fine to keep it upright. Thanks!

[@peterviczena9836]

I have thrown away my new firebox pan, because I was not able to get a smooth nonsticking surface. Bought a GSI nonstick teflon pan instead. I dont want to hassle around. Just cook something, clean it fast and easy and walk on.

[@fireboxstove]

Different things work better for different people and different situations. The non-stick pans are very convenient and easy however some people really appreciate the ability to season their pans and have very good success with it. But you are right it does require an investment of time and a development of technique while the non-stick option is ready to go from the very beginning. I don't like knowing that a customer may be less than 100% satisfied please contact my customer service department so that we can work something out with you. Thank you very much for expressing your feedback 🙏

sir where can i buy a firebox im from the phillipines

[@fireboxstove]

You can order from our site here: www.fireboxstove.com/index.php?route=common/home. Thank you!

[@earthprisoner]

On the stove at home....simmer some oil till the pan turns golden yellow, a couple times.

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for the input!

Thanks!

[@hiredgun7996]

Great instructions Steve. Thank you. Not trying to be the pronunciation police but it is pronounced "LE-SI-THIN"

[@fireboxstove]

Thank you for the information, I was not sure on that. I am glad you enjoyed the video, I appreciate that.

[@windowclean100]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@fireboxstove]

Thanks!

[@crystaldunnfit]

Whats the sticky dot?

[@fireboxstove]

At one point we used a sticky dot to adhere the instructions to the inside of the pan but since it was difficult to remove we have now omitted it.

[@crystaldunnfit]

@@fireboxstove can we use soap on our pan? I followed instructions perfectly but when I cooked bacon it left residue on the pan. It still kinda stuck.

[@crystaldunnfit]

@@fireboxstove also. My pan isn’t getting black like yours. I followed instructions and have been cooking all my bacon on it to continue the season process. It’s still gray and the bacon sticks in places

[@MrBluoct]

How much for a custom pre - seasoned pan ? 🤙 Have not used my stove for ten years Yes ... ten. 🤔

[@fireboxstove]

Time to get out there and use it!! Lol thanks for watching.

[@HappyHounds]

Wish I saw this before I ruined my set.. *please see edit that says I ruined the appearance (elbow grease and bar tender friend might bring it back), but the performance has been amazing. So I made an initial mistake assuming I messed up the pan.. But I did not for cooking

[@HappyHounds]

ibb.co/Y2jC18t ibb.co/zXG3ZgW Followed seasoning instructions. 500 degrees is obviously too hot (I've only used cast iron and lots of success). Could not clean pans up to original. Never ruined a set of pans before I got to even see how they preformed. I guess Aluminum is not for me

[@fireboxstove]

I don't see anything ruined. I don't think it's even possible to ruin your pans. Just keep seasoning them. If 500 degrees seems too hot then do it at a lower temperature. Seasoning pans is not a science, more of an art. All ovens run a bit differently. If it's not for you send us an email to info at Firebox stove.com and we'll give you a refund.

[@HappyHounds]

I used it and the performance is great so actually I am very pleased because I can't maintain the appearance of aluminum. I seasoned it well I guess because I had a great first cook

[@HappyHounds]

I apologize. I won't delete me comment. As I obviously made a seasoning error. I did kill the perfect appearance of the plate and pan, but it also seems to be non stick as much as cast iron . I would love the opportunity to maintain a perfect set, but it works

[@HappyHounds]

@@fireboxstove yes, I over reacted. It performs awesome. I apologize. We all make mistakes

I like my eggs sunny side up please

LOL, thanks Tim!

[@cce1036]

The geometrical shape of this product is pretty disturbing, it’s not perfectly squared.

[@fireboxstove]

That is how it folds flat without having to be taken apart. If it was perfectly square it would not be able to fold flat.

I very rarely use a new stove unless I know I'm not going to burn wood in it. You have to realize I have over 600 videos.
