The pot comes pre-seasoned, offering a good level of natural non-stick performance. However, proper preheating, sufficient cooking fat, and regular maintenance (including re-seasoning when needed) are crucial for optimal non-stick results.
While cast iron is durable, using metal utensils can potentially scratch or damage the seasoning over time. It is recommended to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to preserve the seasoned surface.
You should re-season the pot periodically, especially if you notice food starting to stick more often, or if the surface appears dull or dry. Regular cleaning and drying, followed by a light oiling after each use, helps maintain the seasoning.
The glass lid is designed for stovetop use and oven use with the braiser. While the pot itself is safe up to 600°C, the glass lid is generally safe for typical oven cooking temperatures, but avoid extreme temperature shocks.
No, absolutely not. Dishwashers will strip the seasoning and cause the cast iron to rust. Always hand wash your cast iron cookware.
Cast iron cookware is inherently heavy due to the material's density. This pot, like other cast iron items, will have significant weight, especially when filled with food.
Ensure the pot is adequately preheated before adding food. Make sure you are using enough cooking oil or fat. Re-season the pot if the non-stick surface has degraded.
Scrub the rust spots with steel wool or a scouring pad. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the affected areas or the entire pot immediately.
Ensure the stovetop burner is appropriately sized for the pot base. Allow the pot to preheat fully for even heat distribution. Consistent seasoning also helps mitigate hot spots.
Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling the pot, especially when hot. Ensure you have a firm grip on both double handles.
Initial Setup: Your Living and Home cast iron braiser comes pre-seasoned, meaning it's ready for initial use. However, for optimal performance and to enhance its non-stick properties, you may wish to apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or canola oil) to the interior surfaces and heat it gently on the stovetop for a few minutes before the first use.
Compatibility: This braiser is compatible with most common stovetop types, including:
It is also oven-safe up to 600°C.
