Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pie & Pint in Bristol wanted to expand their menu beyond traditional pub grub to include authentic deep-dish pizzas but found their old trays couldn't cope with the thicker dough.
"We switched to these black iron pans and the difference was instant. The crusts are fantastic, they cook evenly every time, and our customers absolutely love the new deep-dish options. They just feel like proper, quality kit."
David Chen – Head Chef
The pub saw a 30% increase in pizza sales in the first quarter and was able to introduce a popular 'Pizza and a Pint' weekly special.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water to remove any factory coating.
- Dry it thoroughly and immediately to prevent any rust from forming.
- Apply a very thin, even layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or flaxseed oil) over the entire surface, inside and out.
- Bake it upside down in a hot oven (around 200°C) for an hour, then let it cool completely in the oven.
Keeping It Going
- After use, simply scrape out any residue and wipe clean with a paper towel or a stiff brush.
- Avoid using harsh soaps or, critically, the dishwasher, as this will strip the precious seasoning you've built up.
- If you must wash it, use only hot water, then dry immediately on the hob or in a warm oven.
- Wipe another very thin layer of oil on the pan before storing to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'seasoning' mean for a pizza pan?
A: It's the simple process of baking oil onto the iron to create a natural, protective, and non-stick layer that improves with use.
Q: Can I use this pan in a conveyor pizza oven?
A: Yes, it is designed to be suitable for both classic deck ovens and modern conveyor ovens.
Q: Is this pan dishwasher safe?
A: Absolutely not. Putting black iron in a dishwasher will strip the seasoning and can cause it to rust. It should always be cleaned by hand.
Q: What's the main benefit of black iron over aluminium?
A: Black iron retains heat far better, which results in a more evenly cooked pizza with a crispier, more authentic crust that customers love.
Q: Can I use metal utensils on this pan?
A: Yes, once it is well-seasoned, the surface is very durable and can handle metal spatulas and cutters without issue.
Q: How deep is this pan really?
A: It has a depth of 40mm, which is approximately 1.5 inches – the ideal depth for creating a genuine deep-dish pizza.
Q: Will the pan rust?
A: Like any iron product, it can rust if left wet. Always dry it thoroughly after cleaning and keep it lightly oiled to prevent this.
Q: Is this suitable for fresh, raw dough?
A: Absolutely. It's designed to work perfectly with both fresh dough from scratch and pre-made, par-baked bases.

Explore more from Non BrandedWhy Seasoning Your Black Iron Pan is Worth the Effort
Ever wondered why chefs rave about cast iron or black iron? It's all about 'seasoning'. This isn't about adding salt and pepper; it's the simple process of baking oil onto the pan's surface to create a natural, non-stick coating. Think of it like building up the beautifully slick, protective layer on a well-used wok. Each time you season and cook with it, that layer gets tougher and more slippery, meaning your pizzas will slide right out and the pan becomes easier to clean. It's a bit of old-school kitchen magic that protects your pan for years and massively improves your cooking.
