Seasoning is just oil baked onto the pan. This layer of carbonized oil gives cast iron cookware a natural, easy-release finish.  We use 100% vegetable oil to season our cast iron cookware right in the foundry so each item ships to you ready to use, right out of the box.

Contrary to popular belief, you can use a small amount of soap to clean cast iron cookware! Large amounts of soap can strip the seasoning off your pan, but you can easily re-season your pan as needed. Learn how to clean cast iron cookware

It's easy to restore rusty cast iron cookware. Simply scour the surface with warm, soapy water and a metal scouring pad. Apply a very thin, even layer of cooking oil to the cookware. Place the cookware in the oven upside down on the top rack, place aluminum foil on the bottom to catch excess oil, and bake at 450-500 degrees F for one hour.
