SEASONING YOUR CAST IRON SKILLET
Seasoning is the term used for the treatment that creates a non-stick like finish on all cast iron cookware. Depending on the use, care, and personal preference it will determine how often you will want to season your cookware thereafter.
Your new Colston Cast Iron Skillet Set already comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, which makes it ready for use. You do not need to clean your cast iron cookware with soap after you use it. Once you are ready to season your cast iron again simply follow these simple steps:
- Rinse well and dry thoroughly with a clean towel. DO NOT air dry.
- After drying with a towel, place the cast iron on a stove top burner set to medium high. Letting the cookware heat for just a few minutes will assist greatly in drying the cast iron thoroughly.
- Preheat the oven to 300-350 degrees.
- Using a cloth or paper towel, lightly coat the inside and outside of the cast iron with your choice of vegetable oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or lard.
- Place the pot upside down in the oven with a cookie sheet or aluminum foil on the rack below to catch any dripping oil.
- Turn off the heat and allow the cast iron to sit in the warmed oven.
- After 30 minutes, remove the cast iron (using an oven mitt) and wipe any excess oil off with a paper towel.
- Return the cast iron to the oven and allow to cool completely before removing it from the oven.
COOKING TIPS
- For newer cookware, before each use, rub the inside of the pot with a thin layer of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook at medium high heat.
- Use pot holders because the handles will become hot while you are cooking.
- Clean the skillet while it’s still warm.
- Always hand dry with a clean towel and NEVER let the cast iron air dry.
CLEANING CAST IRON COOKWARE
It is very important to keep your cast iron clean, dry, and seasoned. After each use, rinse with hot water (preferably while the cast iron is still quite warm) and wipe with a damp cloth. If there is food “stuck” to the cast iron, you can use a wooden spoon to scrape it free. If necessary, try scrubbing the cast iron with a piece of a Russet potato and a small amount of course salt. Wipe clean with a paper towel. Soap has degreasers and will take some of the seasoning off of your cast iron cookware. If you use soap, it is very important that you re-season the cookware. To keep your cast iron in its best possible condition, it is suggested that you thoroughly dry and oil your cast iron as instructed in the “Seasoning Your Cast Iron Skillet” section. If you are not planning on using your cast iron for an extended period of time, coat it with a thin layer of vegetable oil to prevent rusting. If your cast iron cookware does rust, use a wire brush to remove the rust, wash in warm water, hand dry thoroughly and season it, as if it was new.
The more you use your cast iron, the easier it will be to clean and maintain.
