Use & Care
- Before cooking, apply vegetable oil to the cooking surface of your pan and pre-heat slowly
- Once the utensil is properly pre-heated, you are ready to cook
- A low to medium temperature setting is sufficient for the majority of cooking applications
- A vegetable oil coating is especially suitable for cast iron cookware for frying or searing.
- It allows the excellent heat conduction properties of cast iron to be retained and to also protect the cookware from rust
- Do not wash this piece of cookware in the dishwasher
- Washing in the dishwasher will strip the seasoning and cause the pan to rust
- After cooking, clean your pan with a nylon brush or sponge and hot water
- Towel dry immediately and apply a light coating of oil to the pan while it is still warm
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Never put a hot cast iron pan into cold water, as thermal shock can occur casuing the pan to warp or crack
- Cast iron gets very hot during use, always use oven mitts or pot holders to lift your cookware
Cleaning
- Wash cast iron by hand with a nylon brush or sponge and hot water. If needed, use a pan scraper for stuck on bits. You can use a little detergent to wash your pan, however, too much detergent may wear away the seasoning effect on the pan, especially if it is not fully seasoned.
- For extra sticky situations, simmer a little water for 1 minute, then use the scraper after cooled.
- Dry promptly and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel.
- Rub with a very light layer of cooking oil while the cookware is still warm.
- This protects the pan from rusting.
- Hang or store cookware in a dry place.
- The surface of the cookware is not impervious, therefore do not wash the cookware in the dishwasher as it will destroy the seasoning and cause the pan to rust.
