Clean it after each use. Clean your pan thoroughly after each use by washing it with soap and water and scrubbing out any gunk or debris from the bottom. I use the scrubby side of a sponge for this.This material heats up slowly but retains heat well, making it good for slow, even cooking on a low heat and achieving the perfect sear on meat. Just remember that your food will continue to cook for some time after the heat has been turned off.

Copper pans have to be cleaned with a dedicated copper polish to keep them looking their best. Don't use them on a glass-topped hob unless they have a sandwich-base construction. This means a layer of metal – usually aluminium – is sandwiched on top and below another metal (in this case, copper). This improves the pan's heat retention in the same way as wearing many layers of clothes. It improves the cooking performance, too. Hard-anodised aluminium Samuel Groves has been making cookware for more than 55 years, so you can be sure that it’s something special. This pre-seasoned 28cm skillet is a case in point. It’s made from hand-cast cast iron, 70% of which is recycled, and is finished with a pair of sleek and sturdy stainless steel handles on either side. As it’s deep with sloped sides, it’s perfect for everything from curries to stews and steaks. Two handles make it easy to move around and at 2.78kg, it’s a fairly manageable weight. Choose the coating carefully as quality can vary; look for pans with branded coatings such as Teflon or Silverstone that come with a guarantee. Don’t use metal utensils or abrasive scourers on these pans as they can damage the finish. Size and weightThough heavy and best suited to range cookers, cast iron pans can be used on all types of hob, including induction. However, because of their weight, take care to lift rather than drag pans on a ceramic surface. Copper Re-season it. Rinse out any excess soap with water, then place the skillet over a burner set to high heat. When most of the water inside the skillet has dried out, add a half teaspoon of neutral oil like vegetable, canola, flaxseed, or shortening. Rub it around with a paper towel. Continue heating the pan until it just starts to smoke then give it one more good rub. Let it cool and you're done.
