About Seasoning.
No idea about Seasoning? That's fine!
Seasoning your cast iron is like giving it a little love! Start by cleaning the pan well, then rub on a thin layer of oil. Dry it on a fire stove or pop it in a preheated oven at 400°F for about an hour to let the oil create that awesome non-stick coating. Once it cools, you can repeat this a few times for an even better finish.
Just remember to give it a quick oiling after each use and skip the soap to keep that seasoning happy!
Beginner's Guides
Starting with cast iron cookware? Here are some simple tips!
First, always preheat your pan to help prevent sticking. Use a bit of oil or butter when cooking for an easy release. After cooking, clean it gently with hot water and a soft sponge — no soap needed!
Make sure to dry it well & apply a light coat of oil to keep it seasoned. Lastly, don’t worry if your food doesn’t come out perfect at first; practice makes perfect, and your skillet will only get better with use!
Cleaning & Care
After cooking, kindly follow these simple steps to keep the cast iron cookware clean!
- Cool Down: Let your pan cool off a bit after cooking, but don’t let it get cold!
- Rinse with Hot Water: Use hot water to rinse away food scraps. If there’s anything stuck, a scrub brush or soft sponge works great.

- Dry It Thoroughly: Dry your pan completely with a towel or by placing it on low heat for a few minutes to evaporate any moisture.
