Cast Iron Care Guide
First Use (Seasoning): A new cast iron skillet has no oil layer. Before first use, heat the dry skillet on low heat until warm, then rub a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire surface. This creates the initial seasoning that prevents rust and builds natural non-stick properties. With regular use, you won’t need to re-oil every time.
Cleaning: Use a soft brush and warm water to clean. Avoid steel wool or dish soap, which can strip the seasoning. Dry the skillet thoroughly after washing — never leave it wet or it may rust.
If Rust Appears: Scrub the rust off with a scouring pad, then repeat the seasoning process. Cast iron is highly forgiving and can always be restored.
Long-Term Care: With regular cooking and maintenance, your cast iron will develop a rich, natural protective film that performs better than any synthetic coating over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this skillet pre-seasoned?
A: The skillet is not pre-seasoned. You’ll need to season it before first use by heating it and applying a thin layer of cooking oil. This is standard practice for uncoated cast iron and takes just a few minutes.
Q: Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
A: Yes! Cast iron is magnetic and works perfectly on induction cooktops as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
Q: Is this safe to use in the oven?
A: Absolutely. Cast iron is fully oven-safe and can withstand very high temperatures, making it ideal for baking bread, finishing steaks, or roasting vegetables.
Q: Can I use metal utensils?
A: Yes — uncoated cast iron is compatible with all types of utensils including metal, silicone, and wood. However, the included wooden shovel is recommended to preserve the developing seasoning.
Q: What is the difference between the 2-piece and 4-piece options?
A: The 2-piece set includes 1 skillet and 1 wooden shovel. The 4-piece set includes 4 skillets (no shovel). Choose based on your quantity needs.
