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.

What should I do if the wooden lid gets damaged?

The lid can be lightly sanded and re-oiled. If it's severely damaged, contact Livingandhome support.

Troubleshooting

Rust appears on the pot.

Remove rust with steel wool or a rust remover. Re-season the pot after cleaning.

Food sticks to the pot.

Ensure the pot is properly seasoned. Heat the pot gradually and use enough oil when cooking.

Uneven heating.

Make sure the heat source is evenly distributed. Adjust the burner or cooking surface accordingly.
