About Nonstick Cast Iron
Zakarian by Dash Nonstick Cast Iron Cookware features a unique 2-layer titanium-infused ceramic nonstick coating. This coating sets it apart from other cast iron products. To ensure the longevity of your cookware, follow these tips:

Seasoning

• Do not season your Zakarian by Dash Cookware with oil, as you typically would with cast iron cookware. This can damage the nonstick coating.
• Avoid using extra virgin olive oil over high heat as it will burn and leave a thin carbonized layer on the surface.
• Cooking sprays that contain soy lecithin should not be used on nonstick cast iron, as they may damage the coating and be difficult to remove.
• Do not cook on high heat as it can damage the nonstick coating over time, causing staining and a reduction in its release properties.

Proper Usage
To ensure optimal performance, follow these guidelines when using your Nonstick Cast Iron Wok:

Preheating
Preheat the wok with a small amount of oil or butter to lightly and evenly coat the inside surface each time you cook. Allow the oil to heat for a minute before adding food. Never heat the cookware empty or dry as this can result in property damage or injury.

Heat Settings
Use low to medium heat when cooking to avoid damage to the cookware or coating. Cooking over a high heat burner will damage the coating and may cause staining and/or an uneven distribution of heat. Use extreme caution when using the cookware on glass stovetops as this may scratch or damage the glass.

Utensils
Only use nonstick-safe utensils such as silicone, nylon, or wood utensils to protect the nonstick coating. Metal utensils will scratch the nonstick coating.

Cooling and Storage
Always allow the cookware to cool before submerging it in water or other liquids. Never put a hot pan on a cold surface, such as a marble countertop. Use a trivet to protect surfaces.

General Cleaning
To clean your Nonstick Cast Iron Wok:

Hand-Washing

• Your cast iron cookware is NOT dishwasher-safe. Hand-wash it with a soft towel or sponge in warm, soapy water to prolong its original appearance.
• Always allow the cookware to cool before cleaning. Filling it with cold water before cooling may damage the cookware.
• Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaning pads, as these may scrape off the coating. Avoid harsh cleaners.

Lid Cleaning
The lid of the Nonstick Cast Iron Wok is dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand. Use a non-abrasive sponge or brush to wash the wok itself. Ensure all parts of the lid and wok are dry before storing.

• Soaking
  Try soaking the cookware overnight in hot, soapy water. For really tough stains like barbecue sauce, mix ½ cup of dishwasher detergent with 2 cups of hot water. Let stand in the cookware overnight then rinse and wash thoroughly.

• Solution
  For some foods, simmering ½ cup of vinegar and scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge will give better cleaning results. Do not use metal sponges or brushes.

• Buildup
  To help clean any discoloration or oil buildup, clean with a solution of baking soda and warm water using a soft towel or sponge.
