Overmount Cast Iron——The Art of Iron Casting

Overmont Cast Iron Skillet Grill Pan - Figure 1

Overmont was founded in the summer of 2013 by a group of outdoor enthusiasts. The brand name itself means over the mountains. We are passionate about the development of outdoor products, and after more than 8 years of hard work, we’ve ﬁnally developed a line of cast iron products. We care deeply about our environment and the cooks in it, driving us to continually innovate our products.
Unlike most cast iron makers who choose canola oil, we only use soybean oil to pre-season our cast irons, which has less cholestrol and less trans fat. The metals in our products are never from unknown sources and avoiding chemical layering techniques isn’t only healthier for us, it is also healthier for our environment.
Overmont cast iron products undergo a series of monitored and carefully measured processing stages, and will provide the best experience whether you are cooking outdoors or in your home.

Any pre-seasoned cast iron cookware requires some (though not a lot of) attention in order to prevent rust formation and food accumulation. Using and caring for your pre-seasoned cast iron is a simple routine: Cook, Clean, Season, Repeat. Here is how.

Cook

Your pre-seasoned cast iron is ready to use out of the box. It is compatible with all types of heat surfaces, grill and campﬁres.
It cannot be used inside a microwave; use an oven instead.
When using an induction based cooker (glass-top or equivalent), always lift the cookware to move it, and do not slide it across, as it may scratch the cooking surface.
Pre-heat the cookware slowly using either low or medium heat until it gradually heats up.

Clean

Wash the cast iron thoroughly by hand, as pre-sea- soned cast iron is not dishwasher safe.
Use a brush to scrub oﬀ any sticky foods from the cookware. For heavier stains, scrap using a pan and salt paste. For stubborn stains, repeat the process after soaking the cookware with hot water for 5 minutes.
Use a cloth or a paper towel to dry the cookware until it is completely dry. You can also slowly warm up the cookware until all the water evaporates.

Season

Apply a thin layer of any kind of vegetable oil.
Warm up the cookware (slowly, using low-medium heat) until some smoke begins to form.
Turn the heat oﬀ, and rub some more oil on the cookware.
Store in a dry place.

Q4: Can a Dutch oven rust?
A: Yes. Cooking food releases steam and after the oven is turned oﬀ and begins to cool down, this steam condenses to water. Moisture is what contributes to the rust of a cast-iron product.

Q5: What should I do if it is already rusted? Overmont Cast Iron Skillet

A:
– Gradually warm up the cookware using low-medium heat and then wash the cast iron using an abrasive brush in hot water and some soap until all the rust is removed. Yes, soap. Then wash the cookware.
– Rub the hot cookware with vegetable oil until a thin layer of oil forms.
– Place the cast iron cookware upside down in a 400°F (200 degrees C) oven, and leave it there for an hour to 70 minutes.
– Let the cookware cool down on its own. Do not try to wash it with cold water to expedite the process.
– Store the cookware in a dry place.
Q6: Is it normal that the lid does not ﬁt?
A: Yes. There is a gap between the pot body and the lid to prevent excessive pressure inside the pot. This will not aﬀect your cooking.
Q7: Is it normal for cast iron pans to have uneven thickness at the bottom?
A: It is normal. The bottom center of the pan is where it gets the warmest while cooking, so it will be thicker than the rest.
Q8: How did the black residue form and how can it be cleaned up?
A: It can either be burnt food that didn’t come oﬀ while cleaning, or part of the pre-seasoning layer coming oﬀ due to contact with a sort of acidic food that was cooked on it earlier. All you need to do is wash the cookware again using hot water, clean oﬀ the residue and repeat the drying and seasoning steps. Overmont Cast Iron Skillet Grill Pan - cooking
