FAQs

How do I clean the skillet?

Wash by hand with warm water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Avoid soap initially, but mild soap is acceptable after the initial seasoning.

Can I use metal utensils?

Yes, but be mindful as they can scratch the seasoning. Wooden or silicone utensils are preferred.

How do I remove rust?

Scrub away rust with steel wool or a wire brush. Clean and thoroughly dry the skillet, then re-season it.

Is it safe to cook acidic foods?

Cooking acidic foods (e.g., tomatoes) for extended periods can strip the seasoning. Cook such foods for shorter durations.

How often should I season my skillet?

Season as needed, typically after cleaning and drying, or if food starts to stick.

Can I use the skillet on a grill?

Yes, cast iron skillets are great for grilling, just be careful with the high heat.

How do I store the skillet?

Store in a dry place. Place a paper towel between the skillet and other items if stacking.

What kind of oil should I use for seasoning?

Flaxseed, canola, vegetable oil, or other high-smoke-point oils work well for seasoning.

Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the skillet

Ensure the skillet is adequately seasoned. Re-season the skillet according to the seasoning instructions. Use enough oil or fat when cooking.

Rust appears on the skillet

Remove rust with steel wool or a wire brush. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the skillet.

Uneven heating

Preheat the skillet slowly and evenly. Ensure the burner size matches the skillet's base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Initial Cleaning: Wash the skillet with hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  2. Seasoning: Even though the skillet is pre-seasoned, additional seasoning is recommended. Heat the skillet on the stovetop until very hot. Add a thin layer of oil (e.g., flaxseed, canola, or vegetable oil) to the inside, then wipe off any excess with a paper towel. Place in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for one hour, then let it cool in the oven.

Compatibility

  • Stovetops: Compatible with gas, electric, induction, and ceramic stovetops.
  • Ovens: Oven-safe, allowing for versatile cooking methods.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After use, let the skillet cool. Wash by hand with warm water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Avoid using soap initially, but mild soap is okay after the initial seasoning has been established. For stuck-on food, boil water in the skillet to loosen it.
  2. Drying: Dry the skillet immediately after washing, either on the stovetop over low heat or with a towel.
  3. Seasoning (Maintenance): While the skillet is still warm, apply a thin layer of oil and wipe off the excess. This helps maintain the non-stick surface and prevents rust.
  4. Storage: Store the skillet in a dry place. If stacking, place a paper towel between the skillet and other cookware to prevent scratching.
