Enameled Cast Iron Care

Our cast iron cookware is built to last a lifetime if properly cared for. Be sure to follow our cleaning instructions to insure that you don't chip or damage your cookware.

• Enameled Cast Iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops. Do not use in microwave ovens, on outdoor grills or over campfires. 
• Always lift cookware to move.
• Use vegetable oil or cooking spray for better cooking and easier cleaning.
• Do not heat an empty Dutch oven or covered casserole. Add water or oil when heating.
• For added longevity, pre-heat and cool your cookware gradually.
• Low to medium heat when cooking stovetop provides best results due to natural heat retention of cast iron. Do not use high heat.
• To sear, allow cookware to gradually come to heat. Brush cooking surface and food surface with vegetable oil just before introducing food into the pan.
• Use wooden, silicon or nylon utensils. Metal can scratch the porcelain.
• Do not put in dishwasher, or wash to soon after cooking. Wait at least an hour after using to allow for the metal to cool down. 
• Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or brush to preserve the cookware’s original appearance. Citrus juices and citrus-based cleaners (including some dishwasher detergents) should not be used, as they can dull the exterior gloss. 
• Always dry cookware thoroughly before storing in a cool, dry place. Avoid putting cookware on cold surface right out of the oven. Once out of the oven, rest the cookware on a towel to protect enameled coating. Do not stack cookware.
