Overmount Cast Iron——The Art of Iron Casting
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.
Instructions for Use & Care
Must-know before Cooking with Cast Iron
Before first use
Before using your new cast iron cookware, please ensure that it is clean and
that there’s no dust on it. Wash it with water only and dry it thoroughly.
Drying can also be done by heating the cast iron, just use low-medium heat and
allow it to heat up gradually.
Avoid splashing water on the cookware while it is very hot. 
Heat Resource
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.
Q1: Can I use this Dutch oven on an induction stove top/oven ?
A: Overmont Dutch oven can be used on a gas stove top, induction stove top,
charcoal grill, campfire and in the oven. Please do NOT put it in the
microwave.
Q2: What is the maximum temperature it can be used to?
A: Below 480°F
Q3: Is this pre-seasoned? Do I need to season it myself?
A: It is pre-seasoned with vegetable oil and ready to use. After each use,
just lightly oil the inside of the pan with your oil of choice.
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?
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.
