Cast iron offers a chemical-free, naturally non-stick cooking surface that improves with every use. It's a safer, more sustainable choice for your kitchen.

Food shouldn't stick if your skillet is properly preheated. To test, place your skillet over a burner and preheat for 5 minutes, rotating occasionally. Flick a few drops of water into the pan; they should sizzle and evaporate immediately. If they disappear too quickly, the pan is too hot—remove it from the heat for a minute before retesting.

We recommend using softer utensils made from wood or silicone to protect your skillet's surface.

For a thorough clean, add about a quarter cup of salt to your skillet. This acts as a natural scrub. Add a splash of warm water and gently scrub with a sponge or brush until all food residue is gone. After cleaning, it's crucial to dry your skillet completely to prevent rust. You can even place it over a low flame on the stove for a few minutes to ensure it's bone dry. Once dry, apply a thin, even layer of cooking oil with a clean towel. This conditions the skillet and builds up its natural non-stick seasoning.
