FAQs

Do I need to season this pot before using it?

Yes, while it is pre-seasoned, we recommend seasoning it before the first use and periodically to maintain its non-stick properties and prevent rust.

Can I use metal utensils with this pot?

It is best to use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the seasoning. Metal utensils can scratch the surface.

Is it safe to put the pot in the oven?

Yes, the cast iron pot is oven-safe up to 600°C. The glass lid, however, has a lower temperature limit and should not be exposed to extreme direct heat or sudden temperature changes.

How do I prevent food from sticking?

Ensure the pot is properly preheated, use an adequate amount of cooking oil or fat, and maintain the seasoning through regular care.

Can I clean this in the dishwasher?

No, never clean cast iron cookware in a dishwasher. Hand wash with warm water and dry immediately and thoroughly.

What types of stovetops can I use this on?

This pot is suitable for induction, gas, and electric stovetops.

How heavy is the pot?

The weight can vary slightly, but cast iron pots are generally heavy due to the nature of the material. It is designed with double handles for easier carrying.

Troubleshooting

Rust spots appear on the surface.

Clean the rusted area with steel wool. Wash, dry thoroughly on the stovetop, and re-season the affected area by applying a thin coat of cooking oil and heating until it smokes.

Food sticks to the surface.

Ensure the pot is adequately preheated before adding food. Use enough cooking oil or fat. If sticking persists, re-season the pot following the care instructions.

The pot is difficult to lift.

Allow the pot to cool slightly. Use thick oven mitts or pot holders to grip the handles securely. Lift with both hands to distribute the weight evenly.

Condensation builds up under the lid.

This is normal during cooking. If excessive, briefly lift the lid to allow steam to escape, or ensure the lid is properly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Initial Use: Although pre-seasoned, it is recommended to wash the pot with warm water and mild soap before the first use. Dry thoroughly immediately after washing. For enhanced performance, you may apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat gently on the stovetop.

Compatibility: This cast iron pot is compatible with all major stovetop types, including induction, gas, and electric hobs.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the pot with warm water. Use a non-abrasive sponge or brush if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents and metal scouring pads which can damage the seasoning.
  2. Drying: Always dry the pot completely with a towel immediately after washing. It is best to place it on a low heat on the stovetop for a few minutes to ensure all moisture is evaporated.
  3. Seasoning: After drying, apply a very thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or canola oil) to the entire cooking surface. Wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. Heat the pot on the stovetop over medium heat for a few minutes until the oil just starts to smoke, then let it cool. This re-seasoning process helps maintain the non-stick surface and prevents rust.
  4. Storage: Store the pot in a dry place. Placing a paper towel inside can help absorb any residual moisture and protect the surface.
