‘-Lodge seasoned this piece in the foundry, making it easy to care for and ready to use. Cook over any heat source, including glass-top stoves and induction. The durable cast iron can handle any type of utensil—even metal. While your piece is new, be careful with alkaline and acidic foods and feel free to drizzle a little extra oil in your pan the fi rst few uses before adding food. This will boost your pan’s seasoning for all your cooking adventures.
-Use it, then clean it.
-After each meal, hand wash your cookware, dry promptly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the entire surface. Voila! In three steps you’ve cared for your cookware so it’s ready for your next meal.
-Great food makes great seasoning.
Cast iron seasoning is a lifelong relationship and there are some ingredients that make the relationship even stronger. Cook bacon, sauté hamburger, and oven roast your favorite veggies to build up the seasoning in your pan.
-Lodge has been producing quality cast iron at its South Pittsburg, Tenn., foundries since 1896.
-What is seasoning?
Cast iron seasoning is simply oil baked onto the iron. At Lodge, we start the process
for you, by adding a layer of soy-based vegetable oil to the cookware and baking it on
at a high temperature. That means Lodge cast iron cookware is ready to use right out
of the box for a natural, easy-release fi nish that gets better over time.
When it comes to seasoning at home, there are many different oils you can use.
-Can I soak my cast iron cookware?
Soaking cast iron in water is a recipe for rust. If you need to remove sticky or stubborn stuck-on food, use a scrub brush or a pan scraper and rinse under warm
water. Be sure to thoroughly dry and oil your pan.
Note: If you do accidentally leave your pan in water for too long and it develops rust, don’t panic! With a little extra care, you can remove the rust and continue using your
cast iron cookware.
Can I put my cast iron cookware in the dishwasher?
No, our cast iron cookware should be washed by hand. A dishwasher will remove the seasoning and likely cause rust.
How do I remove rust from my cookware?
For a small amount of spot rust:
Wash your cookware with warm soapy water and a scrub brush, dry promptly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel, and rub with oil. If that doesn’t work, use the Lodge Rust
Eraser fi rst, followed by the above cleaning steps.
For a large amount of rust:
1. Scour the surface with warm, soapy water and a metal scouring pad. It’s okay to use the scouring pad and soap since you are preparing to re-season the cookware.
Rinse and hand dry thoroughly.
2. Apply a very thin, even layer of cooking oil to the cookware (inside and out). Keep in mind if you use too much oil, your cookware may become sticky.
3. Place the cookware in the oven upside down on the top rack and place aluminum foil
on the bottom rack to catch any excess oil. Bake at 450-500° F for one hour. Allow to cool and repeat as necessary to achieve the classic black patina.
