Care and Cleaning of your Lodge Cast Iron

After cooking, clean utensil with a stiff nylon brush and hotwater. Using soap is not recommended, and harsh detergents shouldnever be used. (Avoid putting a hot utensil into cold water.Thermal shock can occur causing the metal to warp or crack).

If you are having trouble removing stuck-on food, boil somewater in your pan for a few minutes to loosen residue, making iteasier to remove.

Towel dry immediately and apply a light coating of oil to theutensil while it is still warm.

TIP: Do not let your cast iron air dry, as this can promoterust.

Store in a cool, dry place. If you have a cover, or lid, foryour utensil, place a folded paper towel in between lid and utensilallowing air to circulate. This prevents moisture from collectinginside the utensil, which can cause rust.

TIP: The oven is a great place to store your cast iron; justremember to remove it before turning on the oven.

NEVER wash in dishwasher.

If for some reason your utensil develops a metallic smell ortaste, or perhaps rust spots (maybe a well-meaning relative washedyour utensil in the dishwasher or with soap thinking they werebeing helpful), never fear. Simply scour off the rust using a veryfine grade of sandpaper or steel wool and refer to our section onre-seasoning.
