- Before using your skillets for the first time, hand-wash with hot water. Using soap may remove the pre-seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Your skillets have been pre-seasoned prior to shipment from the factory and do not need to be seasoned. However, for best results, you may apply a light coating of cooking oil inside the skillets before each use. This will ensure the skillets remain properly seasoned and prevent rusting.
- Note: Seasoning is a coat of oil baked onto the cast iron skillets at a high temperature, which provides easy-release properties to the skillets. Cooking foods with fat and/or using oil will continue to season the skillets over time.
- To re-season the skillets, apply a high smoke point cooking oil over the entire surface, then heat in the oven for an hour at 450ºF (232ºC). To catch excess oil, place a baking sheet on the oven rack below the skillets. The skillets are ready to use once cooled. You may wipe off any excess oil remaining on the skillets.
- To best preserve the skillets, we recommend using silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils when cooking. You may use metal utensils once the skillets are well seasoned after many uses. Re-season as necessary.
- Cook using low to medium heat only. The use of high heat is unnecessary, as cast iron is an excellent conductor of heat and effectively retains temperature.
- If using on a ceramic glass cooktop, always lift (do not slide) when moving to avoid scratching the cooktop.
- Keep the skillets on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking. Do not overheat an empty skillet.
