CAST IRON COOKWARE: USE & CARE
* Before first use - Hand washes. Dry immediately.
* Season your cast iron cookware - Rub with a thin light coat of
vegetable oil after every wash.
COOKING WITH CAST IRON COOKWARE
* Your cast iron cookware can be used on induction, ceramic,
electric, and cooktops, in your oven, on the grill, or even
over the campfire. Do not use it in the microwave.
* Note: On glass or ceramic cooktops, lift cookware; never slide
it.
* Note: Use metal, wood, or hi-temp silicone utensils.
* Note: Some foods may stick to new cookware (especially eggs).
Use a little extra oil or butter until you've built up the
seasoning on your cast iron cookware.
* Note: ic foods like tomatoes, beans, and certain sauces can
damage the seasoning finish and should be avoided until the
seasoning is well-established.
* Note: Cast Iron rarely needs to go above a medium heat setting
when properly pre-heated. For the times when you do cook at
higher temperatures, bring the pan to temperature gradually and
add oil to it just before adding food to prevent sticking.
* Note: Cookware handles get hot; use mitts. Use trivets to
protect countertops from hot cookware.
CLEANING
* All you need to do to clean your cast iron cookware after
first use is to let it cool and wipe it down with a clean dry
cloth or paper towel. If you prefer to use soap, then wash with
mild soapy water and dry thoroughly and oil (season) immediately.
* Note: Dishwashers, strong detergents, and metal scouring pads
are not recommended, as they remove the seasoning.
RUST
* Without protective seasoning, iron can rust when exposed to
air.
* To remove any rust buildup, scour the rust, rinse, dry, and rub
with a little vegetable oil.
* If the problem persists, you will need to thoroughly remove all
rust and follow the re-seasoning instructions (below).
RE-ESTABLISHING YOUR SEASONED FINISH
* Regularly cleaning as directed and maintaining the seasoning
on your cookware should keep your Cast Iron in good condition,
however, at some point, you may need to re-season your cookware.
If food sticks to the surface or you notice a dull, gray color,
repeat the seasoning process:
* Wash the cookware with hot, soapy water and a stiff brush.
* Rinse and dry completely.
* Apply a very thin, even coating of vegetable cooking oil of
your choice to the cookware inside and out. Avoid using too much
oil as it will result in a sticky finish.
* Place aluminum foil on the bottom rack of the oven (not
directly on the bottom) to catch any drips.
* Set oven temperature to 350 400 degrees F.
* Place cookware upside down on the top rack of the oven to
prevent pooling.
* Bake the cookware for at least one hour. After the hour, turn
the oven off and let the cookware cool in the oven.
* Store the cookware uncovered, in a dry place when cooled.
* Repeat as necessary.
TIPS
* flames should not extend up the sides of cookware.
* Match pan size to burner size.
* Don't use it in the microwave.
* When deep frying, fill cookware only to 1/3 of capacity.
