How to Clean a Cast Iron Dutch Oven After Cooking:

Note: Avoid using soap, steel wool, or placing it in the dishwasher.

If you decide to use soap or steel wool, you’ll need to re-season the skillet afterward. Just rub a thin layer of oil all over the skillet (inside and outside), then heat it on the stove or in the oven until the oil forms a protective layer.

1. Pour hot water into the Dutch oven immediately after use.
2. Use a sponge or nylon stiff brush to gently scrub the Dutch oven (use tongs to avoid scalding).
3. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
4. Apply a layer of salt and add a small amount of hot water.
5. Use a wooden shovel to scrape off tough stains.
6. Rinse again with water.
7. Dry the Dutch oven completely using a towel, and then heat it on the stovetop on low heat.
8. Apply a thin layer of oil to season the inside and outside of the Dutch oven.
9. Store in a dry place.

How to Restore a Rusted Cast Iron Dutch Oven:

1. Scrub off the rust with steel wool and water.
2. Wash the Dutch oven with soap and rinse thoroughly with water.
3. Dry the Dutch oven using a towel, then heat it on the stovetop until it is smoking hot to ensure it's fully dry.
   Note: Water is the enemy of cast iron, so ensure it's completely dry.
4. Apply a thin, even layer of cooking oil to the inside and outside of the Dutch oven.
   Remember to wipe off any excess oil.
5. Place the Dutch oven upside down on an oven rack and bake at 180°C for 1 hour.
6. Once the oven is off, let the Dutch oven cool down inside.
