FAQs

Is the pot heavy?

Yes, due to its durable cast iron construction, it is heavier than pots made from other materials.

Can I use metal utensils with this pot?

Yes, cast iron is durable enough to withstand metal utensils. However, using them frequently might affect the seasoning over time.

What is the advantage of pre-seasoned cast iron?

Pre-seasoning means the pot has a base layer of seasoning applied at the factory, making it ready to use out of the box and offering some initial non-stick properties.

How often should I re-season the pot?

Re-seasoning frequency depends on usage. If you notice food starting to stick more or see signs of rust, it's time to re-season. For regular users, doing so every few months is often sufficient.

Can the glass lid go in the oven?

The glass lid is designed for stovetop use and for monitoring cooking. While it can withstand moderate oven heat, its exact oven-safe temperature limit is not specified and is generally lower than the pot's. It's best to use the pot without the lid in high-heat oven applications if unsure.

How do I store the braiser?

Ensure the pot is completely dry and lightly oiled before storing. Place a paper towel or cloth between the pot and the lid to allow air circulation and absorb any residual moisture, preventing rust and protecting the seasoning.

Troubleshooting

Rust spots appear on the surface.

Scrub away the rust with steel wool or a scouring pad. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the pot immediately.

Food sticks to the bottom.

Ensure the pot is adequately preheated before adding food. Make sure the cooking surface has enough oil or fat. If seasoning has worn off, re-season the pot.

Uneven cooking results.

Confirm the stovetop burner is centered beneath the pot. Ensure the pot is fully preheated before adding ingredients. Check that the heat is distributed evenly across the burner.

Condensation build-up under the lid.

This is normal during cooking as moisture evaporates. If excessive, slightly crack the lid by propping it with a utensil, or remove the lid periodically to let steam escape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Your Living and Home cast iron braiser comes pre-seasoned, meaning it's ready for immediate use. Wash it with warm water and mild soap before the first use, and dry it thoroughly.

Compatibility: This pot is compatible with all major stovetop types, including induction, gas, and electric burners. It is also oven-safe up to 600°C.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Always hand wash your cast iron pot with warm water. Use a stiff brush or a non-abrasive scrubber for stubborn bits. Avoid harsh detergents and never put it in the dishwasher.
  2. Drying: After washing, dry the pot immediately and thoroughly with a towel. You can also place it on a warm stovetop for a few minutes to ensure all moisture evaporates, preventing rust.
  3. Seasoning: Periodically re-season the pot. After drying, apply a thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or canola oil) to the entire surface, inside and out. Wipe off excess oil and heat the pot in a moderate oven (around 200°C) for about an hour, then let it cool. This process maintains the non-stick surface and protects against rust.
