Seasoning
To get the best from your cookware, OLYMPIA recommend that it is ‘seasoned’ before use.
-
Wash the cookware thoroughly in warm soapy water.
-
Dry thoroughly.
-
Lightly brush vegetable oil over the inner and outer surfaces of the cookware.
WARNING: Do not use excessive amounts of oil. This can cause a fire hazard.
The cookware may smoke slightly in the oven. This is normal. -
Place in a preheated oven at 200°C and bake for 1 hour.
-
Allow the cookware to cool in the oven and then remove.
Using the Cookware
-
Always wear suitable protective gloves when using the cookware as handles become hot with use.
Note: Cast iron cookware retains heat for sometime after cooking, ensure it is safe to handle before moving. -
The cookware is hot enough to cook with when drops of water evaporate immediately when sprinkled on cooking surface.
-
Always cook with a low to medium heat when cooking to reduce the risk of foodstuffs sticking.
-
Pat any meats dry with kitchen towel to ensure it does not stick to ribbed bases when cooking.
-
When using cookware on glass or ceramic cooking surfaces always lift the cookware to remove it, DO NOT slide it on or off.
-
Never use metallic utensils with the cookware. These can damage the cooking surface.

- Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the cookware. Cast iron cookware is NOT dishwasher safe.
- Soak burnt on food in warm, soapy water.
- Dry the cookware immediately after cleaning, do not allow to drip dry.
- Do not leave food in cast iron cookware. Transfer food to a suitable container as soon as possible once cooked.
