Cast Iron Cookware FAQ
What is cast iron cookware?
Cast iron cookware is heavy-duty cookware made from iron with at least 2% carbon. Cast iron cookware commonly includes regular pots and saucepans, as well as skillets, griddles, woks, dutch ovens and sandwich presses. Cast iron cookware is usually seasoned to create a protective nonstick surface by both modern manufacturers and customers.
How to season a cast iron pan
With a clean, dry cast iron pan, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the entire surface you want seasoned. Wipe with a cloth to create a very thin but complete layer. Heat the pan on a high heat, past the smoke point - this creates the non-stick layer. Once the pan has cooled, wipe with a cloth and repeat as needed.
How do you clean cast iron cookware?
If you have correctly seasoned your cast iron cookware, it shouldn't need more than a wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any excess food. Mild soap can also be used if needed, but avoid very harsh cleaning tools like steel wool. Don't panic if you see little black shreds coming off your pan as you clean it - these are most likely old bits of forgotten burnt food, rather than your precious seasoning.
