Cast Iron Cookware Care

Caring for your Cast Iron Cookware.
Instructions for seasoning and cleaning your cast iron cookware.


Cleaning:
After cooking in your cast iron cookware, it can be cleaned by putting in hot water and bringing to a boil. Never use detergent to clean seasoned cookware, as it will remove the seasoning: Also, avoid putting hot cast iron into cold water, this can cause cast iron to warp or crack. After pouring out boiling water, wipe dry with a paper towel. If something sticks to the surface, dislodge it by simply using a plastic scraper. Do not use any abrasive items to scrub your cookware. Again, this can cut into seasoned surface. While pan is still warm from washing, apply a fine coating of oil on all surfaces,
if metallic taste or signs of rust are noticed, simply wash with hot, soapy water. Scour off the rust, and then season your cookware again.
Store your cast iron cookware in a cool dry location. If storing with lid, place a paper towel between the lid and base to allow circulation of air.

Seasoning: This is a simple process of oil absorbing into the pores of your iron cookware leaving a black, nonstick surface, follow instructions below if your cast iron cookware ever requires seasoning again.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash cast iron with hot, soapy water, and a stiff brush. Rinse and dry.
3. Completely coat inside and outside surfaces with melted vegetable oil or shortening (some people prefer lard or bacon fat).
4. Place cookware on middle rack for 30 minutes. Remove cookware and wipe it almost dry to prevent pooling of shortening or oil. Place back in oven for another 30 minutes.
