Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Before first use, wash the cookware with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the entire cooking surface and exterior, then heat on the stovetop for a few minutes to season. Wipe off excess oil.
Compatibility:
This cast iron cookware is compatible with all stovetop types, including induction, electric, and gas. It is also oven-safe, allowing for seamless transition from stovetop to oven.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: After use, clean with hot water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers. For stubborn bits, use a stiff brush or a scraper. Never soak the cookware.
- Drying: Always dry the cookware immediately and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth after washing. Place on a low heat for a minute to ensure all moisture is evaporated.
- Seasoning: Re-apply a thin layer of cooking oil after each use, especially after washing with soap. Periodically, a full re-seasoning in the oven might be necessary.
- Storage: Store in a dry place. Placing a paper towel inside can help absorb any residual moisture and protect the seasoning.
