How to Cure a Soapstone Pan
- 1). Wash the pan with hot water and let dry.
- 2). Rub cooking oil on the entire surface of the soapstone pan with the paper towels. Let the pan dry at room temperature for 24 hours to absorb the oil.
- 3). Fill the pan with water and heat over low heat. Increase the heat after 10 minutes to medium. Wait another 10 minutes before turning the heat higher to medium-high heat.
- 4). Bring water to a boil. Allow the water to boil for 30 minutes.
- 5). Pour out the water, dry the pan and repeat the entire curing process--oiling, drying, heating and cooling--for a long-lasting curing.
