cast iron cookware

vegetable oil (preferably peanut oil)

1. Wash in warm, sudsy water. Scrub with scouring pad. Dry thoroughly. 2. Coat the entire

product with vegetable oil. Place in 300F oven for one hour, or heat over medium heat until

quite hot. 3. Remove and wipe off excess oil with paper towel. 4. Before each use: Pre-heat

for 90 seconds over medium heat. 5. Cleaning and storing: Rinse in hot water after each

use. Avoid the dishwasher. Harsh detergents will remove the seasoning. Dry thoroughly.

Store in warm, dry place. Don\'t stack. 6. After repeated use, your cast ironware will turn

black; providing a durable, non-stick surface. If you have any difficulties, re-seasoning is

probably required. Simply repeat the above steps to re-season your cast iron product.
