How Do I Care For My Cast Iron Product?

How do I care for my cast iron product?

Cast iron cookware can last for years when cared for properly. Here's how to take care of cast iron products:

*Always wash cast iron cookware by hand using warm water.
*Do not use scouring pans, stiff brushes, or harsh detergents, which can break down the seasoning of your pan. Instead, use a rubber pan scraper to remove stuck on food and clean with mild dish soap and a soft sponge or brush.
*Promptly dry your cookware with a lint-free cloth or paper towel after washing to avoid rust, and never let your pan soak in water.
*Cast iron products can break from thermal shock, so always allow your pan to cool before washing.
*To maintain the seasoning of your pan, apply a light coating of vegetable oil to its surface in between uses.
*Always follow the Use and Care instructions included with your cast iron product.
