FAQs
How do I season the cast iron pot?
Clean and dry the pot, then coat it with a thin layer of cooking oil. Heat the pot in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for an hour, then let it cool.
Can I use metal utensils with this pot?
It is best to avoid metal utensils, as they can scratch the seasoned surface. Use wooden or silicone utensils instead.
How do I clean burnt food from the pot?
Let the pot cool, then scrub the burnt food with a non-abrasive sponge and warm, soapy water. If necessary, use a cast iron cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.
What kind of oil should I use for seasoning?
Use cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or flaxseed oil.
How often should I season the pot?
Season the pot regularly, especially after cleaning. Aim to season it a few times a year, or more frequently if you use it often.
Can I put the pot in the dishwasher?
No, do not put the cast iron pot in the dishwasher. Dishwashers can remove the seasoning and cause rust. Hand-wash only.
