Keep It Clean

Proper Care and Cleaning Instructions For Your Cast Iron Cookware

• Rinse with hot water after each use (never soak)
• Scrub with a food brush or fill cookware with water and boil to remove food particles.
• Avoid using detergents as they remove the seasoning from the cast iron cookware surface.
• If you do decide to use dish detergent you will need to re-season the surface of your cast iron skillet, dutch oven, or grill pan (any cast iron cookware item) prior to re-using.
• Dry thoroughly and immediately, then store your cast iron cookware and store it in a warm dry place.
• NEVER place cast iron cookware in the dishwasher (unless it is enamel coated). The dish detergents and humid environment will remove the seasoning and cause rusting to occur.
• It is normal for the surface of your cast iron cookware to turn black after repeated uses.
• When storing be sure to place a paper towel inside your cookware to absorb moisture, and be sure to store your cast iron pot and lid separately.
• With proper care your cast iron cookware product will last a lifetime (or more).
