Here are some guidelines to ensure the long life of your purchase

Safe for these uses
Not safe for these uses
First Use	• Wash your cast iron cookware with hot, soapy water & dry thoroughly inside and outside. • Please check to make sure there are no imperfections. • In the rare event that your product has been damaged in the shipping process, please contact us for a replacement.
Daily Use	• Never heat dry cast iron pans. They are not designed for dry cooking and require a liquid such as water, stock, butter or oil. • Never use in the microwave .• Use wood, plastic or nylon utensils. Sharp metal utensils and sharp appliances (e.g. electric mixers) will scratch the surface. • Always use oven mitts or potholders, as the handles get very hot when exposed to heat. Please use caution. • Protect counter tops/tables by placing “straight from the oven” hot cookware on trivets or heavy cloth.
Care And Cleaning	• Please wash by hand. Dishwashers may cause black cast iron to develop a brown “rust” powder coating. • After each use, wash with dishwashing detergent, warm water and dry thoroughly. • Don't soak overnight. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust to form on the pan. We recommend soaking in warm soapy water no more than 15 minutes. • Allow pans to cool completely before washing. Never immerse hot cookware in cold water. • Do not use these cleaning items: Oven cleaners, steel wool, scouring pads, scouring power as they may strip away the seasoning layer. • Storage: Do not drop or bang cookware against hard surfaces• For long storage of black (non-enameled) cookware, coat with a thin layer of vegetable oil.
