Care instructions
All cast iron cookware can only be washed by hand.
A cast iron pot/pan need to be season. To season a cast iron pot or pan, rub a small amount of oil onto all surfaces. Then heat the pot/pan in the oven or on the hob to max. 150°C (300°F) for a minimum of one hour. Leave the pot/pan to cool and wipe off excess oil. This treatment should be repeated three times when the product is new. After seasoning the pot/pan these three times, it only needs to be treated once in a while. If corrosion or food stains arise, or if food burns and sticks, the pot/pan can be cleaned with steel wool or an abrasive sponge and then re-seasoned.
Clean the cookware after use by washing by hand in water using a brush. If you wash the pan/pot while it is still warm it will be easier to clean. Wipe dry carefully after cleaning.
Cast iron cookware is suitable for use in all kinds of hobs and oven safe.
Do not expose the pan to great changes in temperature, e.g. by taking it directly from the fridge and putting it on the hob.
