They're ideal as a griddle or for frying, and come into their own for paella and other one-pot dishes such as huevos rancheros — a must-have from The Outdoor Living Company's fire pit cooking range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire pit cooking is about more than just grilling. The joy of cooking over flames comes from cooking as though in your kitchen but with nature all around you. These Skillet Pans, made from mild steel, are highly versatile — perfect for frying, griddling, sautéing, and one-pot dishes such as paella. The steel is untreated, so the skillet pans need oiling after use; see our Care and Maintenance guide below. Depending on the size of your fire pit, the larger pans can sit over a BBQ Swing Arm rather than fitting within it, and they're also suitable for sitting on our Half Moon BBQ Racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintaining Your Fire Pit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNB:\u003c\/strong\u003e All fire pits, lids, and accessories will begin to oxidise immediately and won't maintain a black finish — this doesn't affect long-term durability. As these fire pits are handmade from sheet steel with naturally occurring blemishes, slight variations in forging and finish are normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupervise children at all times when the fire is lit, as the steel becomes very hot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet your fire pit on stone, brick, gravel, or a slab on decking — it will develop rust as it ages, which can mark stone surfaces.
