Using Cast Iron Cookware
Cooking with cast iron is not difficult though it will take some time to be accustomed to it. A cast iron skillet would get better for cooking with more use.
- Always preheat your cast iron cookware on low heat before cooking. Remember that the handle can become hot, so use caution and handle it with oven mitts or potholders.
- Due to the manufacturing process, each cast iron piece may have cosmetic irregularities, but these don't affect its performance.
- If rust appears on your cast iron skillet due to exposure to moisture, simply wipe it off and apply a small amount of oil to prevent further rusting.
First Use
- Before cooking, preheat your cast iron cookware on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. When using a new skillet, add a little extra oil.
- Recommended dishes for the first use include sautéing onions, baking cornbread, roasting vegetables, or frying various foods, as these help build seasoning.
- Avoid cooking acidic foods such as tomatoes, wine, citrus, or vinegar initially to protect the seasoning.
- Avoid prolonged simmering with salty liquids during the early use stages.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Never put your pan in the dishwasher
- Allow your cast iron skillet to cool down after cooking.
- Place the skillet in the sink under hot running water and use a small amount of gentle dish soap if desired.
- Scrub away any food debris using a sturdy paper towel, soft sponge, or dish brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.
- Rinse the skillet thoroughly and then place it back on the stove or in the oven for a few minutes to ensure complete drying. Avoid soaking it in the sink.
