Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Pig, a popular charcuterie and grill bar in Chester, needed to ensure consistency across their grilled menu items as customer numbers grew. They replaced their mixed collection of worn non-stick pans with several Vogue M652 skillets.
"The difference was immediate. The heat is so even, and the presentation with the sear marks is just fantastic. Our steaks have never looked or tasted better, and the pans can handle a busy Saturday night service without breaking a sweat."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The kitchen reported a significant improvement in cooking consistency and a 15% reduction in cooking times for key grilled dishes during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with hot, soapy water and a stiff brush.
- Rinse and dry it thoroughly immediately to prevent any rust forming.
- Apply a very thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or rapeseed oil) over the entire surface, inside and out.
- Place it in a hot oven (around 200°C) for an hour, then let it cool. This is its first 'seasoning'.
Keeping It Going
- After cooking, clean with a stiff brush and hot water. Avoid using harsh soaps if you can, as they can strip the seasoning.
- Never leave the pan to soak in water.
- Always dry it completely straight after washing, either by hand or by placing it on a low heat on the hob for a minute.
- Wipe a light layer of cooking oil inside before storing to maintain its protective patina.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this pan come pre-seasoned?
A: It comes with a basic factory coating to protect it, but we strongly recommend seasoning it yourself before the first use to build a proper, durable non-stick surface.
Q: Can I use metal utensils on this pan?
A: Yes, absolutely. Unlike pans with chemical non-stick coatings, a well-seasoned cast iron pan is tough enough to handle metal spatulas and tongs.
Q: Is this pan oven-safe?
A: Yes, the Vogue M652 skillet is made entirely of cast iron, including the handle, making it perfectly safe for use in a commercial oven at high temperatures.
Q: How do I clean it if food gets stuck?
A: For stubborn bits, use a stiff brush or a pan scraper. You can also simmer a little water in it for a minute to loosen the residue. For a deep clean, scrub with coarse salt and oil.
Q: Why is cast iron better for searing than other materials?
A: Its density means it holds a huge amount of heat. When a cold steak hits the pan, the temperature doesn't drop significantly, resulting in a faster, deeper, and more even crust.
Q: Will it work on my induction hob?
A: Yes, cast iron is a ferrous metal, which makes this pan perfectly suitable for all induction cooktops.
Q: What's the main benefit of the ribbed surface?
A: The ribs serve two purposes: they create authentic, appetising grill lines on your food and they lift the food up, allowing excess fat and oil to drain away for a cleaner cook.
Q: Is it very heavy?
A: At 2.37kg, it has a satisfying heft which is key to its heat retention. This is a solid, durable piece of equipment designed for professional use.

It’s an asset that pays for itself through dependable service, predictable results, and by eliminating the cost and hassle of frequent replacements.
Explore more from VogueHow Seasoning Creates a Naturally Non-Stick Surface
Ever wondered what 'seasoning' a cast iron pan really means? It's not about sprinkling salt and pepper! Seasoning is the simple process of baking oil onto the cast iron, which creates a hard, protective, and naturally non-stick layer called a patina. Think of it like waterproofing a good pair of leather boots; a little bit of care creates a durable shield that gets better and better with every use.
Unlike chemical non-stick coatings that can scratch or flake off into food, this seasoned surface is part of the pan itself. Every time you cook with oils or fats, you're actually adding to and improving that non-stick layer. It’s a simple, age-old technique that gives cast iron its legendary cooking performance and longevity.
