FAQs
How do I season my cast iron pan?

Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
Yes, but be careful not to scrape the seasoning excessively. Wooden or silicone utensils are also great options.
Is the pan dishwasher safe?

How do I remove burnt food from the pan?
Scrub the pan with a non-abrasive sponge or a scraper. For stubborn food, boil water in the pan to loosen it before scrubbing.
Can I use this pan on a campfire?

Troubleshooting
Food sticks to the pan.
Ensure the pan is properly preheated and use enough cooking oil or fat. If the seasoning is worn, re-season the pan.
Rust appears on the pan.
Dry the pan thoroughly after each use. If rust appears, scrub it off with steel wool, re-season the pan, and ensure it is properly stored.
