Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is "True Seasoned" cast iron? |
| (A) |
Cast iron is a great material for cookware. The advantages of cast iron include even heating, superior heat retention, and durability. Along with these great benefits cast iron also develops a natural, non-stick surface (or "Patina") the more it is used. This process is called "seasoning." Out cast iron is pre-seasoned. We coat our cast iron with natural oils that are then baked into the iron to create the black "Patina." This means that when you get your cookware home it is ready to cook.

How do I clean my cast iron? |

When cool, wash your cast iron thoroughly with a non-citrus based soap and clean water. Be sure to rinse and dry completely. (Note: Soap can remove the seasoning of your cast iron if you don't restore it after cleaning.)

| (Q) |
How do I maintain my seasoned finish? |
| (A) |
After cleaning, warm the cast iron in an oven to remove any moisture. Apply a small amount of cast iron conditioner, such as Camp Chef's Cast Iron Conditioner, and thinly coat all surfaces of the cast iron. This enhances your cast iron's "patina" maintaining it's non-stick surface. Allow cast iron to cool completely before storing.
