Frequently Asked Questions
How do I season the cast iron skillet for the first time?
Wash the skillet with warm water, dry it thoroughly, then apply a thin layer of vegetable oil over the entire surface. Bake it upside down in an oven at 375°F for one hour and let it cool naturally.
Can these skillets be used on induction cooktops?
Yes, cast iron is naturally magnetic, making it highly efficient and compatible with all induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric stoves.
Is this 3-piece set dishwasher safe?
No, cast iron should never be put in a dishwasher. Hand wash with warm water and a stiff brush, then dry immediately to prevent rust.
What are the advantages of heavy-duty cast iron?
Heavy-duty cast iron provides superior heat retention and even heat distribution, which is essential for searing, sautéing, and baking. It is also incredibly durable and can last for generations.
What should I do if my skillet starts to rust?
Simply scour the rust away with steel wool, rinse, dry, and then re-season the skillet with a light coating of oil and heat to restore its finish.
Does the set come pre-seasoned?
Our skillets are typically delivered with a factory seasoning to prevent rust during shipping, but we recommend a quick home seasoning before the first use for the best non-stick results.
