Initial Use and General Care:
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely. You can place the cookware in a warm oven for 15 minutes or use low heat to ensure it is completely dry.
- Because cast iron distributes heat evenly, it is preferable to cook on low to medium heat. Overheating can damage the seasoning and cause food to stick.
- Do not use sharp or metal objects on the cooking surface.
- Preheat the cookware on low heat for 5 minutes before gradually increasing the temperature.
Cleaning & Maintenance:
Step 1: Wash
Wash your cast-iron cookware by hand. A small amount of mild soap is acceptable. For stuck-on food, use a pan scraper. For stubborn residue, simmer a little water in the pan for 3–5 minutes, allow the pan to cool, and then scrape it off.
Step 2: Dry
Dry the cookware thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. If you notice a small amount of black residue on the towel, it is just seasoning and is perfectly normal.
Step 3: Oil
Apply a very light layer of cooking oil to the surface. Wipe with a paper towel until no excess oil remains.
Step 4: Store
Once cooled, store in a cool, dry place. If storing with a lid, place a paper towel or newspaper between the lid and the pan to allow air circulation.
Re-Seasoning Method:
1. Begin by washing the cookware with warm water and a soft-bristled brush, then place it on a heat source to dry thoroughly.
2. Prepare a piece of fatty pork skin (or cooking oil) and rub it repeatedly inside the pan several times.
3. After seasoning, let the oil remain in the pot for 5-10 hours to ensure the pot fully absorbs it.
Notes:
- Cast-iron pots get extremely hot, so always use pot mitts or pot holders when handling them.
- Avoid exposing a hot cast-iron pot to cold water or vice versa, as this can cause the pot to crack. Allow it to cool gradually before cleaning it.
- Despite efforts for accuracy, there may be some reasonable error due to manual measurement.
- Actual product colours may vary due to monitor settings & lighting.
