KITCHISIMO Maestro cast-iron frying pan 20 cm

Product detailed description

The cast-iron KITCHISIMO Maestro frying pan with a diameter of 20 cm is an ideal choice for preparing smaller portions, quick meals or dishes for one or two people. It is excellent for eggs, meat, vegetables or side dishes when you need precise control over the temperature and result. Thanks to its solid cast-iron construction, the pan retains heat excellently and distributes it evenly across the entire surface , ensuring perfect searing without burning or loss of juiciness. 

Another major advantage of cast iron is its long service life – with proper care, the pan will last for many years and is often passed down through generations. Over time, it also develops a naturally non-stick surface , which improves its properties with every subsequent use. The wooden handle ensures a comfortable grip and gives the pan an elegant appearance suitable for both a modern kitchen and a country cottage. The KITCHISIMO Maestro cast-iron pan is pre-treated with vegetable oil and is heat-resistant up to 260°C.

Tips and advice

It is ideal to heat the cast-iron pan gradually before use so that the heat is distributed evenly. Thanks to its ability to retain temperature, it is not necessary to cook at maximum power, which helps achieve better results and save energy.

To preserve its excellent properties, we recommend not washing the pan with aggressive products , but rather cleaning it gently and lightly treating it with oil. This supports the formation of the natural non-stick layer that makes a cast-iron pan such an exceptional kitchen tool. It is better to clean the pan immediately after use; we do not recommend leaving the pan to soak. Heavy soiling can be removed by boiling water in the pan. After every wash, it is important to dry the pan thoroughly and lightly coat it with vegetable oil. 

Unlike ordinary pans made from lightweight materials, cast iron offers a completely different cooking experience. It retains heat much longer and distributes it evenly , so food is not merely “seared”, but truly cooked through perfectly. Meat develops a beautiful crust, vegetables remain juicy and the flavour is more pronounced.

Another major advantage is service life – while ordinary non-stick pans wear out over time, a cast-iron pan lasts for years with proper care and its properties actually improve. It gradually develops a natural non-stick layer , which works without chemical coatings. Cast iron is therefore an ideal choice for those who want to cook properly, for the long term and with maximum results. To increase protection and resistance against rustyou can season the cast-iron pan. First clean and dry the pan thoroughly, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or lard, and then heat it on the hob. The fat should begin to smoke lightly. Repeat the oil application several times, always waiting until the previous layer has absorbed. Finally, wipe off the excess fat.  

When storing several pans stacked together, we recommend placing a soft separator or kitchen towel between them to prevent the individual surfaces from scratching each other. For cooking, use wooden or silicone utensils, which protect the surface and are also pleasant to handle.

The cookware collection Kitchisimo also includes, in addition to frying pans, a saucepan and saucepans in the same elegant design – together, they form a beautiful and practical set that gives your kitchen a light, harmonious and natural style.

The pan Kitchisimo cast iron is an ideal companion for anyone who prefers induction frying pans – its quality base ensures perfect contact with all types of hobs, so it heats quickly, evenly and without unnecessary energy losses. It also works equally well with conventional gas, ceramic-glass and electric cookers.

If you appreciate trouble-free use and easy maintenance, we also recommend browsing the category non-stick frying pans. There you will find a wide selection of models with various surfaces that make healthy cooking with minimal fat easier.

For a perfectly coordinated kitchen, it is also worth expanding your equipment with quality Kitchisimo cookware , which matches in appearance and materials – elegant saucepans, pots and casseroles create a stylish, functional ensemble with the Kitchisimo stainless-steel pan.

For even cooking, stewing and protecting food from splashing fat, you will also appreciate frying-pan lids , which improve cooking efficiency and preserve the flavour and aroma of prepared dishes.

For safe handling, we also recommend practical kitchen oven gloves and trivets , which complement the overall look of your kitchen and make everyday work easier. And if you enjoy coffee or tea after a good meal, you will also appreciate our range of stylish teapots, mugs and serving accessories , which perfectly complement the pleasant atmosphere of dining at home.
