OVERMONT 5QT Cast Iron Dutch Oven Cookbook Recipe User Guide

Overmount Cast Iron

Overmount 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 cholesterol 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

Overmount 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.

Before first use

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-seasoned 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

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 clean- ing, 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.
