Can I grill or cook over a live fire with my cast iron?
Most definitely. Your cast iron is extremely durable and we recommend it for cooking in any situation.
Is my cast iron non-stick?
The cooking surfaces of our cast iron is machined and polished to be some of the smoothest cast iron available and comes pre-seasoned with avocado oil which gives your cast iron a start in its non-stick journey. Once received give your cast iron a quick wash with warm water and a little soap, dry thoroughly, coat it all over with a thin layer of our Seasoning Blend or an oil of you choice, and you’re ready to start cooking.
What color is cast iron cookware?
Cast iron is naturally grey. The first layers of avocado oil pre-seasoning we apply to your cast iron give it a copper shade. As you cook it will take on a time-honored deep black patina.
How do I clean my cast iron cookware?
After each use wash with warm water removing any remnants with a wood or metal spatula, a touch of dish soap and a basic kitchen scouring pad / sponge. For more aggressive remnants we recommend scrubbing with a chain mail scrubber. Thoroughly dry your cast iron after cleaning. Its super critical that you don't soak or place your cast iron in the dishwasher. While not necessary after each use its a good idea to periodically place on a burner on low heat after cleaning and apply a light layer of our Seasoning Blend or oil on the entire piece of cast iron. Once dry and coated with seasoning leave your cast iron on your range to cool down.
