Use & Care Instructions

These products have been pre-seasoned prior to shipment from the factory.

We recommend adding 2-3 additional layers of seasoning to your cast iron before use for best performance. Please see seasoning instructions below.

SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS

See our full instructions on how to season your cast iron cookware

STOVETOP & OVEN USE

  • Designed for use with electric, gas, ceramic and glass stovetops, as well as induction stoves.
  • Always use a small amount of cooking oil before each use.
  • Always preheat cast iron for increased non-stick performance.
  • For best results, use medium-high heat.
  • If the cookware is scratched and the pre-seasoned layer is removed, the cast iron must be seasoned again. (see re-seasoning instructions below)

CLEANING

  • Hand wash and hand dry only.
  • Do not soak cast iron cookware.
  • To clean, wash with warm water. Rinse and immediately dry thoroughly.
  • We recommend seasoning your cast iron after each use for best performance.
  • Do not allow cookware to air dry.
  • Towel dry immediately after each wash.
  • Going for an extended period of time without cleaning the cookware may result in an accumulation of dust. This can form grime that is hard to wipe off later.
  • To remove hard grime, scrub cookware with an abrasive sponge or plastic scrubbing pad, then re-season cookware. (follow re-seasoning instructions detailed below)
  • To protect pre-seasoned coating and prevent removing the seasoning, do not use abrasive cleaners or detergents with degreasing action. (If seasoning is removed, follow re-seasoning instructions below.)
  • Do not use steel wool scrubbing pads.
  • Do not use bleach.
  • Do not use oven cleaners.

COOKING UTENSILS

  • Do not stab the cooking surface with a sharp point or cut food while in the cookware.
  • Do not use electric utensils such as mixers or sharp-edged utensils such as knives.

WARNINGS

  • Cast iron is not microwave safe.
  • Cast iron is not dishwasher safe.
  • Do not allow cookware to boil dry.
  • Always hand wash and dry completely before storing.
  • Always use pot holders or oven mitts because the handles will get hot.
  • Before washing, always allow the cookware to cool to room temperature.
